Tricky comments. 44 number is fading or Russian films should be shot in Russia

221
I don’t expect such a thing from our Ministry of Culture.

So, to take and withdraw the rental license from the movie for 2 the day before the premiere is, you know, something. Precedent, however.

What was this film masterpiece from a fairly well-known company "Lionsgate" about?



In the movie "44 Number" (Child 44) directed by Daniel Espinosa, the main action takes place in 1953. The main character - Lev Demidov (Tom Hardy) - a pupil of an orphanage who survived the 1933 famine of the year and, according to the film, hoisted the Victory Banner over the Reichstag, works for some organization called the NGB and cracks down on "enemies of the people." After his wife Raisa (Numi Rapas) gets on the list of such enemies, Demidova is sent to the city of Volsk and degraded to the position of a local policeman who is led by General Nesterov (Gary Oldman). In Volsk, Demidov goes on the trail of a maniac, on whose account the murder of 44 children along the railway tracks from Vladimir to Rostov-on-Don. Demidov is trying to find the killer, while his former NGB colleagues are hunting for Demidov himself.

I do not understand, overseas themes for the militants ended? Apparently, yes. Together with the screenwriters.

Many thanks to Comrade Medinsky for not seeing this Hollywood brew about us. For several reasons.

The first one is that we have enough domestic movie shots. Even, I would say, in abundance. Moreover, a normal film is actually difficult to find. But this is not a reason for Hollywood to start us to rivet films about the Soviet reality.



It seems reasonable to Russians that there are Mikhalkov and Zvyagintsev. And their masterpieces about the Russian and Soviet reality. True, there are rumors that sir Nikita decided to quit and do fast food, God forbid.

And we in general import substitution goes, if someone did not know. Therefore, corn with orthophosphoric acid seems to be "not to be free, and not to be paid for money."

No, guys from the Hollywood hills, you are in vain. You Kakuruzu themselves ... consume. And to us - not a foot. And then at that rate, decide to treat us with another masterpiece about how the Banner over the Reichstag was raised not by Leo Demidov, but by Leo Dummkopf from the US Marine Corps.

Do not gobble, times are not the same now. Kakuruza is not in fashion.

And the second reason. There is nothing to go where considerations are nothing. In Russia, do they not make films about how in the USA things were historically? To you in the rental did not go? Here let us pay in return. That is, from the beach along the eternal Russian route.

Let me quote Medina. Why not quote a smart man?

Such films as “44 Number” should not go to mass film distribution in our country, earning from our movie-goer, neither in the year of the 70 anniversary of the Victory, nor ever else.

The film shows not a country, but Mordor, with physically and morally inferior subhumans, a bloody mess in the frame of some orcs and ghouls — in this country the film takes place from 30 to 50 of the XX century.

This is how our country is shown - the one that just won the Great War, has escaped into the number of world leaders and is about to launch the first man into space.

It's not so much a particular movie. American filmmakers can express themselves as they please. Before that, in general, we have little to do. Fundamentally, we must finally put an end to a series of endless schizophrenic reflections about ourselves.


I do not know how anyone, but I personally like these words very much. It seems, dear patriots of Russia, our regiment arrived. Yes, and in such a key position, and even at such a time. As they would say on our pages a couple of years ago - good news.

So, yank, go back. Together with the film.

But there is another aspect about which I would like not to speak maliciously, but, on the contrary, express concern.

Who were the people who prepared the movie for hire? They sounded, made ads, wrote reviews, motivated to rent this klehlebovo?

At a minimum - it is non-professionals. They would cook teletubbies, no more. As a maximum - corrupt scoundrels, ready for the dollar from the American film company once again throw mud at our country. Our, I stress.

Such filmmakers should be in an amicable way, in the style of Khrushchev - a passport in the mouth and in two weeks from the country without the right of return. According to the article "anti-Russian subversive activities." With the confiscation of everything "honestly" earned by overworking for the benefit of our culture. That would be a budget benefit ...

Apparently, in the culture, we are still full of stitches, if the minister gets in the way of some kind of creative work. But glad that gets up.

Well, the beginning of Comrade Medina very impressed. May God grant him health and continued success in work.

And Hollywood about Russia, let him not make more films. Themselves must cope.

    They “banned the rental” of an already purchased film, as I understand it. Who bought it? Again some kind of “Vasilieva from the Ministry”? And, of course, again for kickbacks. (What you won’t do for the love of the sea... money and the Cote d’Azur.) “How can we get the money back now, and why should we suffer losses?” - that’s what, in my opinion, VVP said on Direct Line.
    It’s time to understand that if any of those in power today hope that, as in Ukraine, they will sit at the “steering wheel” or at the feeding trough if the Americans take over the country, then they are deeply mistaken. Even in America they don’t like traitors, fools and scoundrels, and even more so if they own something and dispose of it at their own discretion. Why are they needed when we have our own? At best, they become “out of use”; at worst, they lie in damp soil. You don’t have to look far for an example, if you remember the event at the end of March in Moscow.
    And I also want to say that a bucket of slop directly poured on our viewers would have had the opposite effect if they had watched the film. It is much worse when the same “ideas” are conveyed to the viewer gradually, in a film that is harmless at first glance, where the only dialogue of the main “positive” character can influence the audience’s sympathies and perception of reality much stronger and more effectively.

    It’s useless to shout that someone needs to do something. You just need to raise children so that they are not interested in watching Hollywood garbage. Our cinema, unfortunately, is practically dead. For example, I prefer to read a book. Considering the comments on similar films on torrent trackers, they are even our “problem” youth don’t really look at it. They also immediately cut the trick after reading the description of the film. The West is dumping a lot of money on calo-propaganda, but it doesn’t work. Regarding Mikhalkov... I don’t know why, but I’m biased towards all his films. You just want to turn off his films right away. It’s also disgusting that he, being the director of some kind of crap, broadcasts on TV in his Besogon-TV program. Why? who asked him? What interest does he have in this? who orders this?...everything that is filmed and shown on TV has its own customer. Even original films.
    Why did they stop making films that you want to watch again and again. It seemed like a good film about Kharlamov... but I don’t want to watch it anymore. Why do I wake up at night even though I have to go to work in the morning and suddenly decide to rewatch The Diamond Arm or Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession? although I’m only 30 and I can say I grew up watching all these American blockbusters right during the dawn of Hollywood on the USSR market?
    ..I’m re-watching Soviet films....why didn’t I watch the much-promoted film Stalingrad? movie Sunstroke? because I am convinced that the country has not yet born someone who can film something truly memorable. My wife, too, when she sees Mikhalkov on TV, immediately reaches for the remote control.
    Of the few films that Hollywood has made recently that I liked once and for all, these are the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. Now they can’t make anything normal. There were masterpieces, but they are also in the distant past.

    They made this propaganda film well and why write a lot about it. If our filmmakers are capable of producing films like “Penal Battalion” and other similar nonsense, then it is better to watch Soviet films about our Great Victory. There is no need to speculate on anything in them, everything is clear and understandable, who won the war and who the heroes are. By the way, in the battles in the Donbass against the Ukrainian fascists, there were many feats similar to those that Soviet soldiers performed during the war and threw themselves under tanks with grenades and covered their comrades with their chests. I think that there is no point in commenting further, but Western propaganda should be resisted more harshly, and perhaps even cruelly.

    The thrill of this situation with the film is that they FORCED the bourgeoisie to fork out money for voice acting, advertising, production of copies of 1500 copies, and then - in an exemplary manner - pasted on all the money, so that they would be remembered better and longer, how and why Russians love their Motherland)))
    After all, as the historical experience of “working” with the Anglo-Saxons shows, punishing them with money is the best method for mutually beneficial “friendship”))))

    But the West doesn’t want to make a film about their “heroic” participation in World War II: about how they waited with the opening of the second front, when it became clear who was on top, about how they fought, how they cheated us, in operations with northern convoys, when, upon hearing about the release of the deadly German battleship Tirpitz, the vaunted English fleet scattered, and Russian women in quilted jackets stood at the machine guns on our cargo ships and fired back at the Germans?
    They could have filmed their flirtations with Hitler in the 30s, when their policy of appeasement allowed the Nazis to seize Austria and Czechoslovakia and militarize all of Western Europe, but they constantly remind us of the Ribentropp-Molotov Pact?
