Movies matter too

276

I will present films that made a strong impression on me at different times.

We can say that this is a subjective analysis, and I do not pretend to be an objective review of every film. I want to share with readers my impressions of them, and most of them were viewed in childhood and adolescence, one might even say that they participated in the formation of me as a person. I am sure that each of you experienced different feelings, looking at them, and made completely different conclusions.



Movies matter too

1. "They fought for the Motherland"


I watched this film as a child.

For me, this film is an example of the hammer of many destinies. My compatriots, completely different in character, origin, were presented in a film epic, which made a huge impression on me.

The most unlike and previously unfamiliar people found themselves in the mill of fate in the hardest battles of the Great Patriotic War. This film does not show idealized heroes hanging from the screen like a monument. Inconspicuous guys like you and me have done their duty and have done it with honor.

The simple fates of ordinary people at a very difficult time flashed before my childish eyes.

I still remember the words of the hero Yuri Nikulin about the armpits of his wife. These words did not provoke in me then a silly children's laugh, which would provoke now, perhaps, in children when watching. The forgotten smell of her armpits then plunged the warriors into memories of home, family, on that short halt between heavy battles, when they would probably soon be killed ...

Recommended by me for viewing in the school curriculum.


2. "Seventeen Moments of Spring"


A film about the hero scout.

The painting gave me a lot about the concept of homeland, duty and honor. What a wealth of examples I received then.

Being behind enemy lines, in round-the-clock tension and at the risk of being exposed, you remain a man and a faithful son of your homeland. Despite the danger and enemies, you should continue to fulfill your mission and bring the hour of Victory closer.

With a similar hard work of Stirlitz in reality, albeit slightly, but not fully, of course, I met in a hot spot, undergoing sabotage training, many years later. I recalled this film in the process of that practical training, realizing that our scout was completely immersed in the enemy's camp and lived surrounded by a hostile population, without the right to make a mistake ...


3. "Ordinary Fascism"


To say that I was shocked is to say nothing.

This film gave me a clear framework and direction for understanding that Nazism is evil in its purest form. Mass madness of fanatics who believed in their exclusivity, unprecedented cruelty, violence and inhumanity.

This picture very clearly showed me what these ideas lead to, and I swear that I received a lifelong vaccination against this infection!

It so happened that I looked at it at the age of 8, and just at that time I came across books by Viktor Suvorov (Rezun), which I read voraciously. I was interested in the theme of the Great Patriotic War.

This film became a reliable barrier between my fragile consciousness, that little bit of knowledge that I had at that time, and the poison with which Rezun, masterfully presenting his version on the pages of Icebreaker, poisoned my childish consciousness. The traitor's books aroused my great interest in the subject of that war, directed me to an in-depth study of many works of real veterans and eyewitnesses of those terrible years. And how grateful I am to "Ordinary Fascism" for the effective protection of me, in fact, then still a child, from that terrible poison with which Rezun's texts were saturated.

Sniffing in the nose, we can sometimes smell those smells that we do not feel right now, but smells from the past. While serving in the army, I breathed in the smell of bodies whose souls had left them. This smell haunts me after many years, although there is no death nearby. This film and the idea of ​​Nazism are firmly associated for me with this very smell. The smell of death ...

Recommended by me to obligatory watching on the big screen in the school curriculum. With the withdrawal of all smartphones at the entrance to the hall and the seating of children through two armchairs for complete immersion in the horrors of the paintings of this work. Let the children learn the cruel lesson of Nuremberg before they vomit and nausea, having received the vaccine forever of truthso that the rearing hydra of fascism and Nazism has recently met resistance, disgust and contempt of young people ...


4. "Come and see"


How much I wanted to write about this film. But I won't.

I will try to describe only in a short text the feelings that this motion picture caused me in childhood.

Have you ever heard the ringing silence that muffles and presses on your ears?

Can you imagine how this very silence breaks like an invisible canvas without sound?

Such a gap in my child's soul reflected this story... So close I felt her.

This film taught me, taught me the first lesson about real war. The very moment of the "sky of Austerlitz", where the enthusiastic drums and the beautiful ranks of the advancing line infantry fall silent, where the attractiveness of war melts away.

Remarque's disappointments, Bolkonsky's revelation, a business trip to the Caucasus - all this happened to me later. The first truth for me sounded in this film.

If I can put it that way - a heart-rending cry of silence at dawn - that's what I would call my impressions of this masterful painting.

Recommended for mandatory viewing in high school.


5. "The battalions are asking for fire"


Not to say that this film claims to be a special place among the imperishable works. But for me personally, he first taught me the following lessons, which were confirmed in life.

First, there are no happy endings in a war ...

Secondly, courage, destinies - broken by the tactical plan - have a place to be and are only “battles of local importance”. Through this film and "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" I heard Levitan's daily calculations about local battles in a completely different way. I began to hear in these days, in the days of calm on the fronts, the continuing death of thousands of my compatriots, the broken destinies who did not perish in vain, but in their own way brought that day closer, brought it closer as they could, not in the main directions.


6. "Titanic"


This movie impressed me.

Many years later, I was so disappointed in people and love, wounds in my soul - as we all know. This film opened for me a world of feelings, fidelity and great faith in love at the very moment when everything around collapses and perishes.

Human attitudes of society's behavior: social groups, hierarchy, the gap between classes and the attitude towards people below you - all this I saw for the first time in this film.

In the 90s, we had not yet seen so clearly a class gap, and then it became a revelation for me.

At school we were often taken to the cinema classes, but this was the first time when all the children were silently sitting and watching all 2 hours and 20 minutes. Leaving the hall, we were all overwhelmed by the scale of the picture, the catastrophe. My classmates and I discussed every detail of the film and every scene for a long time.

I can say that this saga of love and an example of the class nature of society still remains on the most important shelf of my collection.


7. "Gladiator"


The film taught me a lot.

Dignity, honor, honesty, determination and love for the Motherland.

Faith and love for the Motherland is not love for the emperor or power. Grievances from the authorities do not stop love for the Motherland, if you understand this love for the Fatherland correctly.

Being true to your convictions and overcoming any proposed circumstance with honor and dignity are the important lessons I learned from this film.

I watched as a teenager, already in the army, faced with betrayal, corruption and stupidity of the command, examples of service from this film helped me to overcome everything, not to break down. They helped not to confuse the disappointment that comes from the authorities, with love for the Fatherland and the fulfillment of one's duty with honor and dignity.

“I will only serve Rome” - for me still means that I will serve only the Fatherland, and not anyone else.

I would recommend this film for viewing at the central recruiting offices of the military enlistment office system.


8. "Alexander"


This film is not an absolute example, but it was he who taught me how to dare to dream.

To dream bravely and courageously, despite the condemnation of relatives and friends, not to look back at society.

If you believe in something, fearlessly go to your dream, and let the whole world wait! You attract those who do not dare to dream, who are afraid, do not dare. They will follow you to the very end of the earth, to India, from where no one has returned! They will publicly idolize you, but weave a conspiracy behind your back. And only in flight to your dream, boundless and immensely high, will you achieve much more than you would simply be afraid to dream ...

How now our leaders lack this energetic courage, around whom we would rally, inspired, if not our own, but his dream - a strong and absolutely free leader!

            Hide and seek slightly "out of topic". By Zhmurkami it is necessary to put Boomer and Brigade in a row. And then, as it were, the series did not begin with that.

              Don't tell me, "The Brigade" was filmed with attempts at realistic seriousness, "Boomer" I did not see, my son advised against it, and "Zhmurki" was a grotesque of black humor brought to complete absurdity, but then life was more like a branch of an insane asylum. And the film was shot professionally, at the level, the acting is excellent.

                However, in the film "Zhmurki" Dyuzhev plays better than in "Brigade". By the way, from the last films "Red Ghost" is good.

        The author has listed too promoted motion pictures. Probably everyone watched them.
        Yes, there are other equally well-known films.
        And here I have been looking at little-known pictures for two years. I find them on the Internet and look.
        The last thing that made me walk under the impression for several days was "Chistye Prudy".
        Although he did not take prizes and places at festivals, the play of young Zbruev, Svetlichnaya and other actors, the script, not props ...
        For several days I remembered the phrases and frames of this black and white movie.

      Vladimir, I agree 100%, especially since in the latter there is a free interpretation of true historical events.
      In terms of patriotism, the film "Eagle of the Ninth Legion" is more suitable. Although this is my personal opinion.
      I would generally recommend ALL the film adaptation of Yuri Bondarev, "Hot Snow" and ESPECIALLY the epic "Liberation"
      Where the Soviet soldier-liberator of Europe from Nazism is shown.
      And I would like to add "Off season".

          - and especially in light of COVID-19.

            And about the "Dead season" you will not convince me - a film about scouts, even if the facts are real, but private and not so important. Let the wonderful acting. So what? Let's leave the film "Seventeen Moments of Spring" - a wonderful film, but the others are superfluous.
            In our family, all male ancestors fought for the Motherland - both in the RIA, and in the White Army, and in the Red Army. My own grandfather has been in the Volyn region since 1944, and his uncle died in October 1941 near Moscow. But there were no scouts, security officers and others like that. Therefore, our attitude to intelligence and counterintelligence is wary, for 1934-38 and our family passed a little ... Alas.

I think because he was ahead of his time. It is still relevant now, although some technical nuances look already naive. Science fiction of the near future. My wife and I reviewed it several times.

    How now our leaders lack this energetic courage, around whom we would rally, inspired, if not our own, but his dream - a strong and absolutely free leader!
    good
    The correct conclusion.
    I want to add just one thought. The socialist realism of Soviet cinema is perceived positively even today, because it was done by the hard work and skill of the school of Soviet directors and actors. And the main characters of these films did (on the screens) good, fought for justice and brought people the truth reflected in dialogues, skillfully played scenes and the simplest human relationships.
    Here are some of my favorite films: "Chapaev", "The Story of a Real Man", "The Living and the Dead", the epic "Liberation", "Battle for Moscow", "Girls", "It Was in Penkovo", "The Rumyantsev Case" , "You never dreamed of", "Moscow does not believe in tears", "Office romance" and many others.

        Children, young people look like this "Masterpieces"like a titanic, a viking, a gladiator, a matrix, etc., there are many, many more like that.
        A special question: there was censorship in the USSR, which "did not give" to all these figures from the art of creating, making good films, writing good books, paintings, sculpting great works, but the remaining legacy, even in the tenth or one hundredth part, surpasses everything that has been created in art in 30 years after the collapse of the USSR.
        Peter I (1937!), About Alexander Nevsky (1938!), Etc.
        - according to the liberals, they were created in the most terrible, most dense years with rampant terror and the destruction of everyone and everything ...
        In the 30 years that have passed since the collapse of the USSR, nothing great has been created without censorship, comparable to that created in the USSR under the reign of censorship ...
        Well, in order for our figures in art to truly create, we need to return censorship and mercilessly destroy all the horror that is pouring down from the screens in a tropical downpour now, from the air to children and young people ..

            Dear Ash Klaas, the good and the beautiful never get old. Let me tell you a secret: I begin to study philosophy at the Faculty of Philosophy from the philosophy of ancient Greece from Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc. and after that they move on to the study of the philosophy of subsequent centuries. And only from those who studied philosophy of the ancients do real philosophers grow.
            Moving on to art. Great artists, writers, sculptors, etc. become only when they learn from the monuments of the great past works.
            Similarly, from our children, our youth, patriots grow up only when children and youth learn from the history of fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers. And one of the ways of education is just great films made in the USSR.
            Soviet film conveyor ... 7250 for 73 years. 100 films a year! 100

            Not all of the 7250 films, if you have indicated correctly, I do not check, this is not my task, they are great, but even if out of these 7000 - 100-200-500 films are great works, then they need to be shown to children, youth, brought up on them youth, so that there are no Ivanov in Russia who do not remember kinship ...

            If now there was such a shaft of production, then, you see, and according to Hegelian dialectics, quantity would turn into quality

            Nowadays, more than 100 films of Russian production are released annually. For example, in 2018, according to the Film Business website,
            129 Russian (including co-production) tapes and collections of short films (this includes 22 issues of "Cartoon in Cinema"), released in 2018, and 15 films released at the end of 2017 and finalized in 2018, were collected in Russia and countries of the former USSR 14,290 billion rubles, which amounted to 26,4% of the total box office of film distribution (a year ago, the share of domestic cinema was equal to 23,4%).

            It's even funny to talk about television. During the entire Soviet period, as many television films were not filmed as they are now doing in a year. The transition from quantity to quality has not yet been noticed.

        Dear Ash Klaas, art is not for delight ... For delight it is for crazy people jumping on a rope into an abyss, for climbing industrial building structures 50-100-200 m high, for riding "hooks" on electric trains, etc. etc. This art is for the soul, and the soul does not begin and does not end with
        liquid level digit and matrix
        ... The soul is relied upon, determined in socialization, in upbringing, which is facilitated, among other things, by the great films of the USSR period ... Therefore, these films are needed by our children, youth, otherwise, Ivans appear, who do not remember kinship, frying kebabs at the grave of the unknown soldier, etc ...

          When mentors like you recruit art and turn it into a tool for mass socio-political therapy, or, to put it bluntly but honestly, brainwashing, things are bad. Art is serotonin, escapism, emotional drug, cognitive stimulus, intellectual feast, etc., and so on. And you, forgive me, are boring, like an old man's dream with your "Ivans", "graves" and the requirement to rape children by compulsory viewing of Kotovsky and Nevsky.

            If my memory serves me, Thiel, who is Ulenspiegel, used this phrase before every RESPONSIBLE act. After reading your comments, I did not notice the responsibility for your words. Your comments are filled with snobbery, contempt for the interlocutor, disrespect, pride, inappropriate sarcasm, intolerance of objections and rudeness. Not the ability to ACCEPT, ACCEPT your wrongness - these are all manifestations of a person, in your case, you are not able to REALIZE your wrongness, which again testifies to the pubertal period, deviant adolescent behavior that does not tolerate objections. A man (to an all-metal shell) is able not only to admit that he is wrong, but also to commit an act in recognition of this. A teenager is not even able to comprehend. Perhaps puberty has not gone noticeably for you, since adolescent maturation has not come. I admit that you confused the pounding in the heart of Ash Klaas with the banal pounding in the body of teenage hormones. Allegorically, what kind of victims do you want to remind everyone here, with your boorish comments, or where are your compatriots on the forum, if you, perhaps, call for their (whom?) Revenge?

              Taking the nickname of Ashes Claes from the immortal work of Charles de Coster "The Legend of Ulenspiegel", by the way from the past, old literature, you, dear, for some reason, completely refuse the modern generation to read, view the old great Soviet films, which, by right, are included to the golden fund of feature films in Russia.
              Dear, Ashes Klaas, unfortunately, a different opinion now prevails, and the younger generation learn from these terrifying TV shows like "Penal Battalion", "Pointe Shoes for Bun", "Milkmaid from Hatzapetovka", etc., which even with difficulty in art is impossible attributed. A similar thing is observed in cinemas, where grayness and squalor reign over and over. Bringing our society closer to liberalism, I believe, and not without the help of people like you.
              This concludes. I have nothing more to tell you.

    All domestic films here are good and useful, but they must be shown carefully. If they are repeated at least once a week, the perception will not be the same. But TV companies have ratings and advertisements. To show an advertisement, you have to show a film. Films lose their color. Experts believe that for the film to be well received, they should be shown no more than once every two years. But television drives hack. All films go in a circle.

              The film Blade Runner made a really strong impression, it was the first one. The second is not very good, everything is chewed. Either the viewer has become more stupid, or the box office has come to the fore, focusing on the general public. The result is an eclecticism of pop and symbolism, which causes bewilderment, as if considering a patchwork quilt. In the very first film there is a powerful symbolism, the future attributing the viewer to the Second World War, the images are guessed, the film is stylistically integral.

        By the way, about honesty.
        Dear Author recommended to watch Stanley Kubrick's film "Full Metal Jacket".
        I was able to watch only the first part last night.
        US Marine Corps School, recruits are being prepared to participate in the Vietnam War.
        The main characters are the Officer, the Village Rokhlya and the Clever Man. I call them that because I did not hear the names, I had to put the phone on a low volume.
        A standard beginning about the American army. The officer screams, causing general self-hatred, thus rallying everyone with the rest. A sophisticated system of humiliation, insults and violence must forge fearless fighters.
        The clever man, showing tremendous honesty and the required fearlessness in dealing with the officer, is appointed head of the squad. Rokhlya suffers, he does not succeed in exercises, which is why not he, but everyone is punished.
        A common hatred for Rokhla should also unite everyone.
        Then the director starts to break my extrapolations.
        An honest, decent Clever Man helps Rokhla overcome difficulties, but participates in beating him, obeying the law of the pack, in which he is the commander. Hence, honesty, decency is far from a criterion of high morality.
        Rokhlya, overcoming difficulties, turns out to be an excellent shooter, communication with the officer-torturer returned to normal, and now the training is over. But Rokhli's gaze has long become frightening, his smile is significant. My God, I whispered, they broke it! The good-natured guy finally learned that since he, considered weak, is humiliated and beaten, then this is the main task of the Marine - to humiliate, beat and, having a rifle in his hands, kill the weak and defenseless. In any case, those who oppose the US Marine Corps. They made him a Translator of Violence! It's like in the office - the director yells at the deputy, the latter at the engineer, the last at the foreman, and now the director’s anger is translated to the hard worker.
        But the great director breaks the line I've built! Not wanting to become the translator of American violence to the whole world, Rokhlya kills the torturer officer, and then himself. Thus, demonstrating morality of a higher order in comparison with the morality of the Clever Man, capable of adapting to the immorality of army morality.
        I will look further. Thinking that Smart Man will first continue to adapt, and then ... I don't know. Kubrick breaks ideas.

            Seryozha, do not exaggerate my capabilities. I suppose if you browse the Internet, you can find much more subtle and accurate analyzes of this film. Because from the beginning it follows that the film is great, and our critics could not ignore it.
            And I thought that Stanley Kubrick was the director of one great movie - "A Space Odyssey of 2021".
            This is if I was not mistaken in the date)))
            By the way, not so long ago, while reviewing this film, I discovered that all the broadcasters had removed the ending! Removed! But this is the whole point. The cosmos communicates with a now lonely person flying into it, reminding him of the time when he, a person, was still pure in soul - childhood! And now his soul is no longer so pure, because the multi-colored changing pictures that he, the cosmos, are no longer able to understand. And the viewer is not able to understand them, because we are not all pure in soul. This, most importantly, was removed! Not realizing that they deprived the film of meaning.

Let's walk through your logical construction from gastats (Zav Ap) to triarii (All-metal shell) - what connection, besides sociology, do you see between these two masterpieces? Let's say, suppose that you have a broader and deeper knowledge of the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency, the decomposition of society, the influence of the factor of parents on this problem of sociology expressed in the masterpiece "A Clockwork Orange", but how this fact prompted you to think that I am not able to understand this picture?

We got to the triarii, I don’t know why you decided to show the path from simple (Orange) to complex (Shell), I don’t see any connection between the works at all. Now about the hard nut (Full metal shell), which I cannot see through, because according to yours I have not yet seen the "Clockwork Orange" (I still do not see the connection and chain from simple to complex) - for this picture you need to go through a hot spot (for comprehension and immersion), I passed - and you? (mind you - I don’t ask where and when, we just performed combat missions - yes or no). Well, in the end, if you yourself personally went through adolescent crime and hot spots, why are you denying others (complete strangers) the ability to comprehend these two masterpieces? For example, "Clockwork Orange" I would recommend as a video guide to sociology and juvenile delinquency for schools of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and legal faculties of some institutes.

            For example, having sowed only galoshes from our past, we found ourselves sitting in a puddle in which galoshes are just right.
            And it remains to think - the man sifted! And what kind of sieve he had ...
            By the way, I would like to add on the thought of computer actors. I just had a thought...
            Yet the real ones are unlikely to go away at all. The minor ones will be made in the form of pixels, and the main ones - only after death. Or alive, just slightly tweaking the graphics on the screen. Do you know why?
            Because the living have a real life that is interesting to fans - hobbies, love stories, trips, performances in halls, charity, political views, home, children, biographies, scandals, press releases, videos, hobbies, much more, that is anything that raises the box office significantly. Namely - privacy. A pixel character has none of this.

              No, they are really very good actors! Non-"pixel". Francois Cluse is incomparable in "1 + 1", and in "How to skip school usefully." Vincent Cassel? Jean Reno? ! Yes! I have not added Christian Xavier and Mathieu Kassowitz yet, however ....? However, they have many worthy ones. And this is if not to mention the "titans of the era" - Noire, Delon, Hossein, Richard!

                        Oh, this is an event! Abyss of analytics and conspiracy theories. I especially like the episode with the collapse of the "uninvolved" neighboring building. Apparently, by calculation, one of the Gemini was supposed to fall on him, but the miners out of habit worked professionally, and both Gemini settled "culturally" where they stood. I had to blow up my neighbor while fulfilling the order. Considerable time later. But to make it look like the "neighbor" is himself. Hmmm ...
                        White thread and dirty intentions worked.
                        And there was a feature film. About the rescuers. Quite ordinary, straight-through. I don't even remember the name.

                        But the film seemed lackluster, although, I suppose, documentary footage was used. I looked - director Oliver Stone, it seems to be a magnitude, and I highly respect Cage. Maybe it was the fact that I watched the live broadcast of the attack on the towers directly, on the air. That's how lucky I was. Commented Peter Ravnov - translated the American commentator. He, Ravnov, was so shocked that he stumbled, sighed heavily and at times could not speak. He was then removed from the channel, he did not appear on TV for a long time, then he appeared on some other channel. I can't say that I was worried. I just eagerly absorbed the impressions. But Peter's excitement remained with me for the rest of my life. There was probably someone close to him in Gemini. The jumps of desperate people from the windows, from a great height, were striking. Then the collapse. The broadcast was not interrupted. NTV, it seems ... When the broadcast began, we had the afternoon, the sun was declining. Everything went slowly. Stamped in memory. No movie can reproduce the flow of those impressions and thoughts. Cinema is about a person, people. What I watched was about humanity. It was above any movie.

                        I love the film "The Sign", I often watch it. Apparently, from the fall of the towers, but in connection with something earlier, it is tempting to watch the catastrophe. Not a war, but natural phenomena. Edited reports, documentaries. The cinema began to strain. Developed the habit of compressed information. Saturation of minutes. Every day I watch the video "Informant", "Pulse of the Earth", "Pain of the Earth" and others. And catching signs outside the window No, it doesn't look like it. It inspires some optimism.

                    Sentiment and ostrichism. They can consider themselves anyone - and now let's take a look from the outside. The 20th century is a disgrace to France. Barely accidentally "won" the Great War, stupid politicians, no less stupid military construction, an awkward (to put it mildly) attempt at a post-war reconstruction of the world, a mediocre interbellum ... To the Second World War? No comments. Pole de Gaulle entered history with a clever feint, and the French collaborators cover their own shame with a cute tale about the Resistance and the victorious 70-strong army that defeated the Nazis. Well, like it used to be with the "Marne taxi".

                        To cinema as a cultural phenomenon, the topic has nothing to do with it, it seems to me. Look - the branch is riddled with mentor grumbling. Most are concerned not with aesthetics, but with didactics. You see, they need educational films. In general, give some freedom here - they would pinch the teenagers' eyelids, like Kubrick Alex in Head Orange, and make them look at Kotovsky, Nevsky and other naphthalene rubbish.

                      Dear colleague, who would have doubted ...
                      The sadness is that people behave towards a person in accordance with how important he feels himself. Especially if his sense of self is supported by some kind of professional skills. This is the case with countries.
                      Fashion, couturier, cinema, wine, cuisine, science, cars, airplanes, warships, a decent budget - what else is there in the assets of France as a former metropolis? Plus conceit. The West understands and accepts this. And also the ineradicable tradition of a huge collective protest, the ability for universal solidarity. The ability to laugh at oneself already in modern films. In Taxi, I think?

                        Self-irony is inherent in any nat. cinema, with the exception, perhaps, of North Korean. And Chinese, if the release of the film is overseen by the party. By the way, the latter guys also have a trick to exalt their history of the mid-20th century. and turning shame into pathos.
                        But, however, the elegant self-irony of the French is strictly limited. The corridor for irony, you know, has narrowed a lot in comparison with the 60s and 70s. Funnily enough, there was more freedom then.

                      Oh, it's epic. If we disregard the apocryphal liberal taunts of Herzen's times, then Comrade Kropotkin was the first to call FR as "great" in his famous book. Moreover, before the revolution of 17 it was called "great" with a small letter, and after - with a capital letter. Until in the 34th Comrade Stalin blurted out that there can be only one great revolution - it is clear which one. And the French district began to be called in textbooks simply "bourgeois". But then Comrade Stalin ordered to live a long time and build communism, and the neophytes returned the title of "great" to the FR. More precisely - Great.
                      Such is the bedtime story.

                        You know, a barricade is needed to rip off society into conventional "reds and whites". Bloody uncompromising civil conflict. The winner in it acquires the right to create myths. In recent history, these are events with neighbors. We, in turn, can express our attitude to the neighboring conflict, giving out on the mountain prop-slag like "Crimea" and others like that. But our cockroach races, presented by the Echo of Moscow as some kind of revolutionary movement, are not and will not be documented - the plot is watery. Even #the poisoning of the avaricious, as you can see, has not yet inspired anyone to "bloody KGB noir". And there is no secret: post-industrial cinema is, you know, not a fig not cinema in the sense that we put into this concept, keeping in mind Fellini, Hitchcock, Kurosawa or Parker. Now streaming platforms resonate - with the digital arsenal and tools, with the millions of bloggers (for all my squeamish attitude towards them) - intellectual cinema quietly dies in the exclusive chamber of its elite ivory tower. This is neither good nor bad - this is a new aesthetics, there is no escape.

The actor was picked up - you can't tell. And what do you think? Such a lively, energetic, with a great sense of humor, quite suitable for running the state, Bush Jr. turned out! Even he. Not to mention other movie presidents.
                        But everyone else ... is criticizing everyone! Ruthlessly and sharply, including the CIA and other law enforcement agencies. The judicial system. Oligarchs. Officials of all ranks. The ulcers of society are scourging. With all their might, they raise the prestige of the best human traits and dignities. Evil is always punished, good wins, the script, the quality of the filming, the acting are often great. Where do we have that? So that after looking, I could say: "Hit on evil, hit it like that! And how recognizable everything is, typical!" No, desert.

                        Well, what to say ...
                        Thanks! She smiled. This is the first time I've seen such a poster with a rat. But why rock a boat that is already running aground? Swinging from the shallows cannot be removed - you can only get bogged down deeper. This is judging by the crazy plans for the construction of Shoigu-grad. I read today here, on VO, a criticism of the idea. Again, no one has tied the currency repatriation law, which was transformed into a currency easing law by two amendments. That allows by 2025 a complete non-return of currency from abroad to the Central Bank for the sale of everything and everything to foreigners, therefore, the impossibility of converting currency into rubles and taking taxes from merchants, filling the budget with them. Plus the intention to print out the money-box of the National Wealth Fund, so that under the pretext of building new cities and secretly filling the empty budget for current needs, scrubbing the NWF dry. Law on mitigation and scraping NWF. Plus the quiet export of real gold abroad (last year, bars were dropped on the takeoff field).
                        Are you picking up anything, colleague? I see a tenacious stranded. The one on which the country is already being planted. The budget will be empty, the NWF will be empty, gold will be taken out and, apparently, taken out. By the beginning of 2019, we reached the 4th place in terms of reserves, now it has already flashed in the press that we are barely holding the 5th place.
                        I don't know about you, but I see a repetition of 91. Can you start to worry? Or is it too late?

          Good afternoon!
          The music for the film "Who's Who?" Leaves a very strong impression.
          However ... as well as the film itself. And? And the game of Belmondo!

            Did you make a mistake with the movie? Who's Who has a pretty run-of-the-mill soundtrack. Although Sardis is certainly considered the titan of film music. For me, so melancholy.

              No, I'm not mistaken. I liked this music / the beginning of the film when Borovitz drives in the car /, and in my opinion it sounds quite energetic. But the soundtrack to "The Professional" is quite, well, not melancholy, but rather philosophical, calling to reflection.

            Don't forget Marie Laforêt. Now many of our actresses copy her manner of acting, without knowing that her face is without facial expressions, emotions in her eyes. And it looks great in contrast to Belmondo, who is full of facial expressions and ... eyes, on the motionless face of Marie Laforêt.

          I haven't seen the film. I saw the ending in the trailer. In French. It is difficult to give a rating to a film, knowing only the ending. Even harder is not knowing the language.

    The film "17 Moments" should have been banned. Not because they show Germans in Nazi uniforms, but because there is a strong element of special services admiring all this.
