Medina and Ernst "got" in the "Viking" all of Russia, including Putin
There were so many shouts and joys after the release of Panfilov’s that our cinema, it turns out, may be that revival is not far off, and so on.Over the mountains. For Tibetan at least.
In short, I went to this "Viking". On the "vtyuhing", if it is quite honest. Not that I succumbed to advertising, although in my house, perhaps, only an iron and a refrigerator did not advertise this, if I may say so, film. Friends were invited, their ticket disappeared, the person could not go. Lucky him.
Less than all, perhaps, Putin was lucky. There was a reporting on the First, where the president was introduced to the actors, as if the film was shown and all that. And then they also asked for opinions. No, our president, a diplomat, of course, God forbid. So wriggle out of a pretty fig situation - it is necessary to be able to. Ours is able.
The film, they say, is not a documentary, can cause different opinions, and he would watch it again, so to speak, to fully understand the situation.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Respect, of course. It is unlikely that he would have spent his second time on IT. Well, how was it possible to say that the garbage was piled into the faces of the cameras? That dodged the president.
Well, after that Ernst simply arranged an advertising hysteria. Why, the president himself would have looked a second time! All on the movie !!!
And by the way, let's go. Many have gone. Putin recommends how ...
At the exit of the cinema I heard the opinion “from the crowd”: “Maybe some other film was shown to Putin?”
Better not say.
So what I saw. I saw something faded and incomprehensible. And the opposite. The prince, reminiscent of a clogged bum from a nearby heat point, is about as adequate, half-mass, characteristic of a student low-budget and dirt. There was a lot of dirt. Dirt was all over the place. About historical I don’t even want to say reliability, people (much more knowledgeable than me) will say (if they have not already said) on this topic.
I will talk about the affairs of more familiar. About money.
The fact that more than half was stolen from the budget in 1,25 billion rubles, that's for sure. From the remaining, apparently, half (if not more) went to advertising. And what is left - filmed this nonsense.
Here I would like to take a break and apologize. Nikita Mikhalkov. How many times my master fell away from me, especially for “The Weary”, how many times I said that “it could not be worse” ... It turns out that it could. Sorry, Nikita Sergeevich, was wrong. In your films, the actors, at least, played. Here served a duty, nothing more.
Actors play is a separate song. More precisely, the funeral march to Russian cinema. It seemed that they were playing for free, but before each scene they were also beaten. Then, somewhat departing from the first impressions, I thought that in the course of the play some had an understanding of what Vikings they were in, but it was too late to back up.
There are investigation films. There are disaster films. This can be attributed to the category of “spitting film”. Spitting in the face of the whole history of Russia. Spitting in the face of all those to whom this concept is expensive. Dear spit. Billion and a quarter.
And what was the money spent on? In fact, to show that Russia of that time is a sort of bunch of dirty barbarians under the guidance of the type of prince, the same ragged one, walking in rags and sleeping on the floor. Removing earrings from his woman to pay off the roof.
Shameful and disgusting. The Russia of that time, saddled the way "from the Varangians to the Greeks" (yes, also to Persia across the Caspian Sea) is shown by some provincial village. Dirty and barbaric.
I will not touch the details and describe the scenes from the film, there is only dirt. Dirt and lies.
I will ask only one question: who benefits?
Who benefits from singing an old Russian barbarians song again? Who benefits from showing our history in such an unsightly way?
Yes, we know who. We know.
It’s just that they seem to be noisy about Panfilov’s players, but everyone seems to have gotten into the faces of those who were making films that provoked a normal person to feel sick. Sigh. And not here it was!
The Ministry of Culture stands out! Confidently watches! Do not miss! Will not allow! Will not give money!
Well played, nothing to say. But I am sure that Mr. Medina still holds an ace in the sleeve and treats us with something more epochal and costly. I think it will be something crunchy billet two billion. With the board, Mannerheim didn’t roll, let's start with Prince Vladimir, let's continue, for example, in the times of Peter the Great. Or Russian-Japanese war.
Hardworking Medina enough. Pile netlenki. At our expense.
The result of the film:
Art value - 0.
Historical value - 0.
Actors play - 0.
And minus 1 250 000 000 rubles without a chance to return them.
And by person ... I'll start with the director.
Mr. Andrey Kravchuk.
This is the third film of Kravchuk, sincerely I hope that he will be the last. If his first film (“Italian”) received 14 awards and prizes, the second one (“Admiral”) already has 3, then Viking will receive something, but not with us. And there, where they will appreciate Kravchuk’s aspiration to wallow in the mud everything he can reach. But it would be better if Mr. Kravchuk returned to his television series.
To their own? I apologize to my. The only series (“Gentlemen Officers”) about being a prison is all that Kravchuk can boast of. "Streets of Broken Lanterns" and "Black Raven" - this is in company with others.
It is not clear, you know, how an unremarkable director, already of solid age, suddenly got the opportunity to make such an epochal (financially) film.
Perhaps ... well, let's not make hasty conclusions.
About Mr. Ernst is not particularly say anything. A person earns money on everything his hands can reach, regardless of quality. Enough list of his work to see. But the fact that Mr. Ernst “dragged” such a movie with such a script on the first channel only says that Ernst himself as a screenwriter ... is not a fountain. All that he can boast (except orders) - these are three scenarios of “Old songs about the main thing”. And that's all.
In the address of our main character, Mr. Medinsky, I want to sully the old Georgian anecdote on the topic “Listen, tell me honestly, who are you friend, me or that bear?”
To whom a friend in this country is the current Minister of Culture is a very difficult question. No less complicated than the question of whether we have a ministry of culture. Or is it just money laundering laundry. The laundry is more like.
You can challenge everything I said here. And the film may not be so bad. And Kievan Rus was a dirty mess with rogue rulers. This is also a question. To historians.
But, dear readers from among those who watched it, tell me, did you see in this loaf, only by pure chance called the movie 1 (one) billion 250 (two hundred and fifty) million rubles? I have not seen.
If this is what the media called the “revival of the national cinema”, let this cinema die better in convulsions, but will finally stop giving us “tired”, “Stalingrad” and other “Vikings”.
As practice has shown, Russians (and not only) are able to determine for themselves what they need. Better that way.
Gentlemen of Medina, Ernst and Kravchuk - this is a disgrace of our culture. Although, if such people are in culture, the question is the very existence of it. People who for huge money spit on the history of the Fatherland are not worthy of a different term.
Although some seem to be honorably carrying the awards "For services to the Fatherland."
Before what country, tell me?
