Military film review. The film "Frontier": we wanted the best, but not in a crisis!

56
The month was going with the spirit to write his opinion about what he saw. Not that the words were not chosen, just everything is fine with the words. All the same, by the way.





As God forbid, I would recommend to watch this film, and not to be caught in advertising, now, after the demonstration is over, you can talk.

What first showed this movie?

"Frontier" showed a crisis. All the same continuing to rage crisis writers and directors who are not capable of creating films. So nothing new.

The idea of ​​the film is not bad. The idea is to show the war (okay, try to show the war again) and somehow remind you that not only May 9 should honor it.

Perhaps this is all good ends. And, no, perhaps, there is another positive component. Cost Total 300 million rubles.

What did not like. Plot. It is not that crumpled, rather, illogical and unfinished. It is clear that Shevtsov wanted to repeat “We are from the future,” as one of our directors is now shooting in different guises a film about a company of soldiers.

Did not work.

In general, after watching, I had only one question: my dears, did you really want to take something off?

"We are from the future-3"? No, there is no such immersion in the past. "28 Panfilov" screw up? It doesn't look like that either. No, thank God, not "Citadel" and not "Stalingrad"! In principle - already a huge plus.

Here I am "28 Panfilov" once praised, although many have criticized the film. Say, there was not enough emotion, the story line is straight, like scrap and in general, just one moment “from life” is shown.

Sorry, in “Hot Snow” also showed one moment. The question here is how ...

Emotions ... I didn’t see any emotions at all in the “Frontier”. The plot is not limping, but with shot through legs I saw, but emotions ...

To be honest, I was haunted by the feeling of some kind of “ordering”. We have a lot of things removed. Previously, with the milkmaids and machine operators, now with businessmen and presidents. The essence is not important, the approach is important.

The approach here is felt. It was necessary to make a film on a given topic. High moral and spiritual.

But it does not work, even though you beat them with your butt! Re-shoot is possible. "Crew" there or "Star" as an example. For real-life events, we can glow! Salyut-7, Upward Movement. And even to lie no more than half.

But on the “Frontier” it becomes clear what to think up / write / create by yourself - this is already in any way. And it is noticeable that neither the script writer nor the director believes in what they are filming. That Mikhalkov in the "Citadel" believed that it was so. And because it is unscientific but fantastic film masterpiece looks convincing. And not here.

Maybe because I have met such “Shurovs” in the life of the shaft, and that I’m not so penetrated? And first of all, I myself do not believe in what can be?

The idea of ​​the film is as simple as a Mosin rifle. And simply must be the same punch in the brain and slaughter. Show and prove that you need to remember your ancestors who fought in that war. Be proud of them, and not only on Victory Day.

Yes, Christmas trees, sticks, I'm so proud of them! And many of us are proud! Frankly, honestly, with conviction. We do not need such a cheater. Phantasmagoria with a trendy pop-up.

“Hitchers” - this is already a whole flow in science fiction, because of how they get into others from different times. Fashionable, yes.

I do not remember where I saw / heard, but the man said great: this is a film for Kolya from the Bundestag.

But even for Kolya sucks worked out. Not on 300 million. Kohl, he watering the Germans with tears. He is just the future Shurov - moderately stupid, moderately cynic, moderately boor. And he does not care about everything except the numbers on the bank account.

It did not leave the feeling that I myself fall into the light of Soviet times. And I look something like that, from my childhood. Filmed "on request" of the Komsomol Central Committee. And on the head with two hammers, I’m kukudyamyat: you must remember, you must respect, you must honor, you must ...

What should I do? I respect as much as I can and I can. And as I can, then I can, respectively.

Or to respect the team, famously gash "Kintso about the war"? Well, respect. What is not a billion spent. True, I respect.

But I don’t want to respect the work. Uninteresting movie out. Totally uninteresting. When in “Panfilovtsy” from the flank the machine gun on the Germans began to work, crawled jerked and exhaled. For - played. And before - invented.

And here really - the line. And beyond this line are the mediocre monologues of the main character, ineptly performed by Priluchny. And exhale when he finishes off.

Well, at least it looks like a major, and that's fine.

True, it is worthwhile to say a couple of words on the subject of what kind of film. Unlike “We are from the future,” this is a completely different creation. This is a film-watching. The main character does not participate in the events, he does not change anything, because he simply cannot change anything, he is an observer. And it can only change itself. Understand, accept, rethink ...

As for me, so absolutely GG has not changed. How was ***, and remained to them.

In general, another attempt that clearly speaks of torture. Not the agony of creativity, in which masterpieces are born, but torture in mastering means and attempts to create at least something from nothing.

No, that will not work. Zero what it does not multiply, zero will remain. Here we must believe in what you shoot and write.

I leave the creation of Shevtsov and Tyurin without evaluation. There is nothing to evaluate in this film. Nothing but well-chosen newsreel frames. Another dullness, unfortunately.

So ... For home viewing, downloading from the Internet. And no chance of reuse.

But if you measure the misery of the type of "Stalingrad" - 0,5 will be. To live, in principle, it is possible. Watch too. But bright thoughts about the prospects in our cinema do not cast all this for some reason.

      I decided to specially watch the film so that later I would give it a rating. You don’t have to cut it right off your shoulder, the film is generally correct, although it’s not without a cranberry. Well, yes, modern realities. In Soviet films, almost every second person himself was a front-line soldier. But the main idea is still in the picture - our grandfathers fought for us, for our peaceful sky. If we forget this, we will become Ivanes who do not remember kinship.
      I think many of the young people will just start watching such "light" modern films, and then, having become interested, they will already switch to serious Soviet classics. I’m a movie. Go and watch it already in adulthood, but he left a lasting impression.

        And in the Soviets, they rallied, with immobility - people lived, trams drove, theaters worked, taverns - there was life at the front, and they showed how they jumped out of acting pants, they all shouted cheers, they pretended to be “powerfully fighting” - all this one false, so the veterans did not look. And in the Russian Federation, they have completely sunk with their “sunstrokes”, “sawing at the cinema”. In the USSR, even outright mediocrity was screened out, somehow, but now they don’t care what to shoot. Yeah, they will drag young people, they seem to have already beaten a bolt, to drag someone to their cinema. Anyway, no one will watch.

    Old films are interesting because they were written, played and controlled by those who themselves had been sitting in the trenches at one time ... Modern actors will not be able to convey feelings and emotions because they are afraid to get dirty and break a nail ...
    Thanks to the author, I won’t watch a movie ...
    PS: The other day I watched the beginning of a movie, where our specialists performed an operation. The group “sneaks up” in the bushes at night, while wearing short-sleeved T-shirts, then shine under the moon, the main thing is smeared with black paint, stripes on the face ...

    And the President liked the film .. wink I watched. The film is generally about nothing. From it a new generation (those who studied poorly) can only understand that there was once a war. Some kind of game actors are not visible. The war is shown as a set of special effects. And nothing more unfortunately ... Trenches in some kind of blue and pink crumbs. What kind of connection between generations can we talk about? At some primitive level, perhaps. The first time a person thought that he could have ancestors who fought. In general, the so-so filmets, third grade, is not yet a marriage.

In the last “western” movie I watched about the war, Dunkirk, the British and French are fighting against some impersonal “enemies”, even crosses are retouched on airplanes — it’s not even clear what’s happening on the screen aliens, whether dwarf dwarfs have crawled out from under the earth, etc. The "tolerant" movie is now like this ....

          but that’s not the point of the film, or you want to see how in the new Russian films about the war, Jackie Chan-style movie heroes lay hundreds of Germans. Last week, you watched a film about the outstanding general tanker Azi Aslanov, in the film there are also not many inaccuracies about the Germans in the form plywood tanks, but in general the film is beautiful and I can’t find fault with you.

What was the world war with the "impersonal enemy"? to erase from the memory of the Nazis as instigators of the world massacre, to the place of which you can, then, stick anyone through deceitful media, at least Russian, at least Arabs, and others who will be appointed to the place of "world evil" by that time.

        1. Ideological diversity is recognized in the Russian Federation.
        2. No ideology can be established as a state or mandatory.

        So we have a lot of ideologies, choose any one to your taste and color, the main thing is that it should not be aimed at the collapse of the country. And also can not be in the singular and this is good. I don’t know how anyone, but for some reason, since I was not a dissident and anti-adviser, I really didn’t like to write personal comprehensive plans from school, always with a portrait of V.I. Lenin and obligations to read 20 books over the summer and dig up 10 beds at the school site and certainly in accordance with the decisions of the next Congress of the CPSU. Or in a technical school, you write a control on the economy and finances of the enterprise and certainly instructions from the Central Committee to reduce production costs and increase labor productivity. And there will be no mention of the decisions of the Central Committee and the PB, and the assessment may be a point less. So, well, her into the forest, such an ideology.

    Author, forget about creativity! There is no longer such a word, it has become obsolete as obsolete! In vain you are looking for him in a modern film. Because it is disappointed. Today there is no creativity, there is creativity. That is, one should not invent anything and give birth in creative torment. Creative is to steal someone else's. One or more pieces, and mount something in your own way.
    As I understand it, something prevented the authors of the film from stealing directly. Apparently no commission passed. And more than that they don’t know anything, moreover, they weaned them, forbade them, beat them on the hands! Well, here ...

    Russian filmmakers fundamentally can’t shoot a normal movie about a war. If earlier films were mainly about evil commissars with detachments, then later there was a love on the background of the war, plus a non-standard view of the war. The order for patriotism is carried out to master the loot, nothing more. They do it without a soul. The main thing is saved on good historical consultants. After all, blunders are everywhere in Russian cinema, then it turns out that officers were in the Red Army in July 41, then the NKVD triples (and they were called not so by the Special triples) at the same time - although they were abolished back in 38, they resumed work at 43 year. I don’t know, the enti disagreement constantly hurts my eyes and it’s already impossible to watch, because you don’t believe it. Compare with the remake of "They Fought for the Homeland." Yes, the tanks are not like that, that’s understandable. But the rest is very reliable and believe in fact. The mentality and talk of that generation of Soviet people, not modern ones. Even the tunics of the fighters all faded, as it should be. You look and believe that here comes the retreating part along the steppes in the heat. Why are the warring Red Army men always dressed up and ironed in Russian films? Can't get old shape?

    still no one will surpass Mikhail Mikhalkov, with his fascists "with a human face," and subhuman fighters of the Red Army, with ancestors commanders, including the commander in chief. In the USSR, such films (about the war) were a whole profession with which these figures, creators of hymns, and their children majors were fed. With a few exceptions. If their veterans did not look, waved, "all this sucks, is not true" - what can we say about today's crafts? All this mediocrity, from the monopolization of the profession - they already have a plan, who will be a great actor and who is a brilliant director, the same thing about scripts, so no matter how hard they try, it turns out one misery. But Roskino in general wants to ban competition, to return everything as it was — when they bring something to the collective farm, they all look. In general, a good job.

    the theme of the war begins to "get tired" ... Well, if it were still filmed on a topic that was poorly covered in Soviet military films: the battle for Voronezh (by the intensity of the second Stalingrad it was called), according to the memoirs of veterans - by analogy like Tom Hanks TV shows shot about the European and Pacific fronts, about the defeat of the Kwantung Army ... Yes, a lot more ...
    And so the next ge is riveted to order every year, and indeed - it's time to make films about peacetime heroes, about space. To motivate youth

    Sorry, I didn’t watch this film-making, and for some reason I don’t really want to, as well as both parts We are from the future .... For some reason I can’t believe that our current filmmakers can take something like “They fought for their homeland” or "Only old people go into battle", or "Baltic Sky", well, at least you don’t believe it crack ....

    The film may be rather weak, but I remembered about 2 of my grandfathers who died in 41 and 43 respectively near Sinyavino. I was very moved. Maybe if it was about Moscow / Stalingrad / Sevastopol, the reaction would not be like that, but Nevsky Piglet ..... Well, it’s very close to the place where my ancestors from the Swedes still lived, and where heavy fighting was went, in which my relatives participated!

    Although, to be honest, the end could still be finalized!
