Konchalovsky makes his film nominated for an Oscar due to the perniciousness of Russia's Hollywoodization

103
Russian director Andrei Konchalovsky wrote a letter to the national committee that promotes Russian films for an Oscar. The film director asked the chairman of this committee, Vladimir Menshov, to exclude him (Konchalovsky) the film “White Nights of Postman Alexey Tryapitsyn” from among the tapes nominated for an American film award. Reports about this resource Colta.ruwriting about the news culture and art.

Konchalovsky makes his film nominated for an Oscar due to the perniciousness of Russia's Hollywoodization


From the letter of Andrei Konchalovsky:

For various reasons, I did not follow the events after the Venice Festival, and was not notified that my film “White Nights by Postman Alexey Tryapitsyna” was qualified for consideration by the Oscar Committee for the nomination.
I want to notify you that I withdraw the film from consideration by the Committee and ask not to discuss it. There are two reasons for this - personal and public.


For reference: Andrei Konchalovsky’s film “White Nights by Postman Alexey Tryapitsyn” received the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival several weeks ago.

Andrei Konchalovsky:
In recent years, I have quite sharply criticized the hollywoodization of the Russian market and the detrimental effect of commercial American cinema on the formation of tastes and preferences of our viewers. In this regard, it seems ridiculous for me to fight for the possession of a Hollywood award.


Konchalovsky says that he considers the Oscar award extremely overvalued, and the very wording “the best film in a foreign language” (quote) ”segregation of world cinema from the Anglophone world"and another attempt by the West to declare a desire to dominate. At the same time, the director says that the development of world cinematography goes far beyond American or pseudo-American cinema. Konchalovsky does not exclude that in the future a film award may be created in which only one film will be given in English".

And if some figures of "culture" from across the ocean decided to unleash their war against Russia, then Konchalovsky’s move can be regarded as a worthy answer.

      Yes, we can’t do otherwise !!! What can oppose THEIR cinema OUR? Spiderman, transformer, dolboformer, or some mutant. So what? What's next. Not ours is all, not ours! How can a high-tech terminator replace Lelik, Kuzmich, or Associate Professor? I spit on the screen, looking at how a brave American pilot destroys alien crap with one rocket, in the name of peace on Earth, but in fact this brave pilot is able to fight only with civilians.
      Konchalovsky does not exclude that in the future a film award may be created in which only one place will be given to the “film in English”.
      I think that there is such a film with difficulty, because they are not for the soul, but for the flesh and its delights without emotions and truth in the head.

          It could not have come out differently. When you try to imitate something and lick something, you look like a monkey. Russian art has always been self-sufficient, although the low genre is not developed in our country. We have our own heroism, our own style of storytelling.

          The published position of Konchalovsky commands respect, but is there a double bottom there? After all, after the “annexation of Crimea by Russia,” any Russian film at the Oscar will definitely fail and the film will have an eternal “loser's stigma”. Well, this is me so as not to create an idol from Konchalovsky. Well done he is, and thank God!

          Yes there are good films, no one argues about this. The topic is about the harmful effects of the Americanization of our cinema. The desire to please the West. It became like paranoia, similar to phones and the Internet. Where, for a beautiful frame or likes (amer), people just do stupid things, frank insanity or cruelty. People constantly began to think about how they look from the side.
          So with the movie! See what the film Stalingrad has turned into, in your desire to be in the ratings of Hollywood! We do not know how to make cheap and empty films. Well, let's not try to learn this.
          Remember our films - Running, One among strangers, a stranger among his own, They fought for their Motherland, Hot snow, Cruel romance and many, many others. And our actors! 90% of Hollywood cannot even dream of such an ability to play as ours! Even our school of theater is the greatest - the Stanislavsky system!
          I respect Konchalovsky!

        I respect your opinion, the fan of our unsurpassed domestic directors, Gaidai Leonid Iovich, Eldar Ryazanov, Andrei Tarkovsky, Mark Zakharov, and others, but they also have a lot of talented directors in Hollywood, which is the most offensive very many of our modern directors likened to copying them scripts are engaged in pure plagiarism. Like it or not, but our cinema is still very far from Hollywood, the financial budget is not the same. I’m a patriot of my native country, but the mediocrity of our modern directors sometimes infuriates me, especially such clowns as Martirosyan, Svetlakova, Semyon Slepakova ...... and others like them. Someone told these clowns that they can make films. As a result, mediocrity and cheapness broke all records, stupidity and stupidity began to come first, the dumber the film, the more he began to take the box office ... I won’t talk about this topic anymore, I’ll say one thing, it’s very difficult with these statements from Konchalovsky - Mikhalkov , this person just does nothing if it doesn’t work in his favor. Everything is much more complicated than this laudatory article in favor of Andron Konchalovsky - Mikhalkov.

        Strongly disagree with you. In the USA there are many worthy films and directors who do not make pops like those films that you cited as an example. Great dramas, melodramas, science fiction (not Spider-Man and company, but really worthwhile films). The only problem is that our cinemas do not show them. In Moscow, only a couple of cinemas show deep films, let alone the rest of the country ... Recently I discovered European cinema - a bottomless sea of ​​talented films. I didn’t even hear about this film in the commercials before the films or read on posters. Asian cinema is, of course, sometimes strange and incomprehensible to an unprepared viewer, but this is also interesting. Of all Asians, I only heard about Takeshi Kitano from the media. In cinemas do not twist. The worst thing is that I’m sure that we also have a lot of talented directors and films, and in cinemas again, the slag is the best film, the coopers and remakes of Soviet films. And where is Hollywood? This rental business is not oriented to society. This is a lack of education of citizens and, as a result, a bad cinema taste (a person can simply not understand intellectual cinema). This is the dominance of clans in the domestic cinema (as well as in the music scene) that newcomers do not allow. That's who is to blame, not Hollywood.

        "Fast train Moscow-Russia", "Corporate", "Graduation", some other vulgar senseless garbage? So what? How do the heroes of drunks, heroes of libertines, heroes of fools replace a high-tech terminator? I not only spit on the screen, looking at how our directors filmed another mega vyser a la Hollywood, I vomit from one type of Russian cinema, from this rubbish, from this slag, from this propaganda of drunkenness, bl.ya.d. s.v.a, idiocy. I will never forgive the Russian cinema for a remake of the film "Gentlemen of Fortune". If only our cinema was all dead, burned down and disappeared.

      And here is another director’s actions: Fedor Bondarchuk ousted actor Alexander Bashirov from his job for helping Novorossia: Yuri Osipov, producer of the Delta-2 project, deprived Alexander Bashirov of work for helping Donbass, the director of the Glavkino group of companies said on his Twitter (Concern founded in 2008 by Fedor Bondarchuk and Ilya Bachurin.) Ilya Bachurin. According to Bachurin, Alexander Bashirov was removed from the project because the actor drove the products collected on behalf of the Clean Dreams Foundation and he brought the products to the humanitarian catastrophe zone, Ridus reports.
      Earlier, a photo appeared in social networks in which Bashirov was captured with the militia of New Russia. The actor himself commented on his visit only to the publication of this photo. In addition, Bashirov made several hours of documentary for his film about the Civil War. The working title is "Donbass beats in our heart."

      Apparently, a lot of negative things are inherent in people by nature, and when in order to get a big jackpot they take off what most people want to see, it turns out a product that cannot be called art. And art should improve people, not indulge them.

      "Konchalovsky says that he considers the Oscar to be extremely overvalued, and the very wording" the best film in a foreign language "(quote)" the segregation of world cinema from the Anglophone world "and another attempt by the West to declare its desire to dominate."

      That says it all. In general, I agree with him.

      In Russia, in fact, they imposed the Oscar award as an ideal for EVALUATION, which a Russian director should strive for.
      As a result, Bondarchuk created the anti-patriotic film "Stalingrad" to mock the memory of the fallen Soviet soldiers abroad and to satisfy the custom-made wishes of Jewish-American propaganda and ideology in the international information space.
      But......
      Although Konchalovsky himself has been living abroad for more than 10 years. In 1980, he went to create it in Hollywood, where he did not work out as he desired and returned in the early 90's with the Hollywood style of imposing on cinema.

      I guess such a step - it is possible PERSONAL resentment at Hollywood. As far as I know - he never received more than one Oscar .... if I'm not mistaken ....

      And therefore, he is already an adult, to take part in the mass session - you should not play at this age in toys with lordly children.

        There are many other film festivals where you can adequately show yourself, your art, explain your position.
        Konchalovsky is a real man who has a firm stance and does not compromise with his conscience.

      Over the past three decades (idolatry before the West began under Gorby) we have been deprived of our quality standards and national vectors of development. All foreign trends. In cinema - "Oscar", in music - "Emmy", in literature - "Booker". As if we did not have our own great Russian / Soviet culture. It's like we are some kind of Bushmen, whose primitive crafts are appreciated by condescending white people. Konchalovsky is right: the significance of the Oscar is overblown. This is not a global competition, but the private opinion of several American film hucksters. There are, of course, worthwhile things among the Oscar-winning films, but most of the winners, IMHO, are just UG. As, however, and the Nobel Prize nominees for literature. "Russian Booker" is clearly awarded to those who made the greatest contribution to the collapse of the Russian literary language and the system of Russian perception of the world. The murder of the language and, through this, of the Russian identity is encouraged. This must be clearly understood. It is already clear to everyone what "delights" the so-called "American culture". We turn into cattle. Time to wake up. Konchalovsky well done!

      Always in Russia, the so-called intelligentsia has essentially been an enemy of the state. At the same time, she, taking as an example violations of the rights of outright minorities, absolutely did not care about the interests of the majority. Such crap might find a response in the hearts of the “enlightened Gayropians,” but not among the Russian people. The expression “lousy intellectual” is perhaps the most accurate description of the attitude of an ordinary citizen towards the so-called “intellectual”. These “gentlemen” sent congratulations to the Japanese emperor after Tsushima, they joyfully greeted the “liberator” Hitler, they poured slop on the soldiers and officers returning from Afghanistan, they, choking on hysterical saliva, destroyed the USSR, which only they hated, and they are now trying to corrupt our children, under the pretext of freedom of choice, to legitimize and elevate all biblical sins to the rank of norm. Of course, a simple Russian peasant cannot understand this, he is. , who stood at the guns of the “Varyag” and “Korean”, who gave their lives on the fields of the Great Patriotic War, in the mountains of Afghanistan and Chechnya, on the streets of our cities, defending our lives. Why should they, the “intellectuals,” worry about us, because we are subhumans, we are unworthy of their thoughts and even more so their feelings, for some reason we never understand them, which means, according to their incomprehensible “intelligentsia” logic, we are a hindrance.
      And everything is simple: you work at a factory - a scoop; driving trains - unpromising; you live outside the Moscow Ring Road - a drunkard, a slacker, who deserves it; you serve the Motherland - an executioner on handouts from the tyrant. But in order to “free yourself”, in order to “be spiritually enlightened and see the light,” you need nothing more than to live on loot from overseas, and shout that everything is bad and is about to collapse, and everywhere has long been better, and this country - hell on earth. And now you are already an “Intellectual”, with a capital “X” and “M”!
      I, as an average “person” who defends his homeland, am frankly pleased that, despite the undoubted presence of such “intelligentsia,” in my country there are also simply talented, spiritually rich and cultural people who are recognized by everyone and understandable to everyone. Who make films for me that I understand, that make me want to make my country better, paint pictures that I enjoy looking at and that I am not ashamed to show to my children, write music and sing songs that make me want to live. Of course, these people have a huge drawback for a “democratic society” - their actions awaken the Man and Citizen in me, and they will never be forgiven for this!
      In order to act in our time as Konchalovsky did, we need courage and responsibility. It is much more profitable to be Makarevich.
      I am proud that my time shows who is who without any decorations.

      Konchalovsky - honor and respect. Very worthy. This will not mean, of course, that you need to isolate yourself. There are also worthy films among Hollywood products, but it says FAB-RI-KA. And any factory is interested in colorful crafts for production. Dose and dose again. However, I would even recommend periodically releasing especially trashy Hollywood films in our country, so that there is no deification of the “dream factory,” otherwise the current sobering up is easy to lose again. As I understand it, the traditions of European cinema are much closer to us. This is what we need to focus on. Figuratively speaking, there is no point for a hereditary nobleman to break his hat in front of a shopkeeper :) And as for all sorts of action films - we have so many themes and eras in which these action films can be filmed that it is even difficult to choose, the selection does not fit in my head. I remember a scene from “A Real Fairy Tale”: You are a hero, Ilya Muromets! And serve Kashchei! - So you forgot about us. You now have hobbits, spider-man, batman. and how I was pressed, immediately Ilya, help! Well, did your Pokémon burn you?" (literally, it may not be accurate, but the meaning is clear).

      He doesn’t want to deceive the expectations of the American viewer. After all, this latest masterpiece of his with actors from the street, in my opinion, is another story about how someone drank something once again, sitting in a rickety hut on chicken legs, now in the Arkhangelsk side of Russia. The Americans will accuse him of lying, because in their opinion this is a lie (it has already begun to reach many people there): how can one simultaneously “conquer” Crimea from NATO, send Obama to jump on a trampoline into space, “mocker at the universal human values ​​for Ukrainians”, rip off skin from the Mistral, because it is ours, and at the same time live in dugouts, drink liters of moonshine and give nothing. For a very long time, a whole guild of Russian cinematographers, general people, were lulled to sleep by such films in the West, and now no one there believes them.
      But unfortunately, despite this, in our country films about real people who create and create something in Russia are released under the heading “For official use”, or even “Top Secret”, or they are not made at all. But they are the ones who are expected in Hollywood, no matter how strange it may seem to some.
