Fragment from the film


Review

Go away, sadness, leave. Or at least shut up - no more strength to listen to you. Moan about what I want to forget, to bury as deep as you allow your conscience and aided its sworn friend of pride with his child vanity. I'm so tired, and the end all be seen, and sometimes I think that it does not exist, as if someone has lost a second series of the drama, where I would have found rest.

An actress circus, a wife, a happy woman - I had so many roles, and in one of them I will not break the flurry of applause admiring the room, though deceptively pretty supportive audience nodded their heads. The only decent suit, his eyes heavily made dark paint - I was in poverty as happy as they are, these rich people sitting on the top row, until it's you, sticky vanity. Actress Circus (acting - demonic calling!), I was satisfied with the number of her husband, a wife, I was happy as a notorious shanty humble abode, barely accommodates two of the lucky ones - but no, zmeyuka, their venom you an accomplished criminal compassionate healing the blind, squalor and poverty sported his ugliness, previously I do not care, they were standing in front of me when I squeezed his eyes shut, trying to get rid of the terrible visions. Woman's nature is weak, and knowing about their vices, it does not require to meet them, until they get a banner in front of the eyes.

Pride, and when you leave the warped soul, you have nothing else out there to profit. I think she herself worthy of a beautiful life - but who is to say it is not so! "Love, money, coats, good manners" - let the people in the red call it "the pleasures of bourgeois life," but what a girl, a girl, a woman does not want to "wallow" in such "lowlands"? It is not a crime - a crime in search of salvation from moralistic conscience, drowning her endless partying, do not finish pouring champagne. Cruelly accused of wanting to live richly, in rude rude to hang for it the label of "bourgeois" and cause choking pineapple, but hypocritical oblivion can not count on a reception. No one can hear my sobs (no sound), will not see a black eye from sleepless nights (no color) - as justified? Belief in selflessness toward luxury has taken a bullet himself in the forehead, and her ghost wearing beaded dress indifference, lost in a love triangle playboy. Hard and breaking sad - who would give shouted, but the sound is still there.

 I was told that I had icy eyes and incredibly sad hands - not surprising, for I and the Cold. Black-and-white sets off the transparency of frozen water and emphasizes all the bruising that leaves ethereal sadness. Frail woman alone against the forced moral accomplices in the gray torture chamber. I can not take any more, I want peace, where there is incessant guilty votes. Get out of the same sadness go away.

  1. Sometimes you wonder what silent films (most familiar from the films with Chaplin and Keaton), even in these days is so alive and fresh. Vera Cold - amazing actress, despite the theatrics of her game, heaving chest, all these subtle gestures, looks .. It is fascinating, and all that in her game can be funny brought to such intensity that I believe it is 10 times stronger than most modern actresses.

    Unfortunately, only 4 survived her film and everywhere Faith has similar women, but then she opened up to me the most.

    Her women are always teetering between two worlds, worlds, because the man represents the world for its women, but through it, it can change your reality and herself. There is a certain fatality: her heroines are often afraid to take decisive action, their motivation is not clear, and the nature of the actions taken affect. And yet they are harmonious. But incomprehensible as possible so convincing fashion his character in the context of the terse expression of the cinema of the century, besides all the other actors are becoming bulky through.

    I think that it is thanks to such films need to stop to judge the films 10-20's. only as an artifact of the Paleozoic era whose only for textbooks and historical sources of the manners of the century.

  2. Roman Serdyuk review:

    When I was little, on the TV channel "Culture" often showed silent movies with Charlie Chaplin. "Modern Times" and "The Kid" - that's all I know of repertory cinema early XX century.

    A week ago I decided to fix it and watched the film of Peter Chardynin "Shut up sadness ... shut up" was filmed in 1918 in honor of the 10th anniversary of the Russian cinema.

    To be honest - did not expect that the film will make the post-revolutionary Russia at me any impression. The main objective of this work could guess from the first minute - to show the new Soviet society all the dirt in which the bourgeoisie floundering. As the saying goes - "All bought and sold everything."

    Unhappy couple of former circus, Loriot and Paul, live on mere penny they earn by singing songs in the street. Here notice them rich gentlemen and welcome to play on society reception. There Golf give precious necklace and offer poor throw Loriot, promising untold wealth in return. The woman at first refused, but after a while, blinded by the prospects and expensive gift, forever leaving her husband. Then she began her new life, in the end not led to anything good.

  3. Artem Larin's review

    I have heard much about Vera Holodnaya, but could not find a movie with her. And the film "Shut up sadness ... shut up" was the first film with her participation, which I saw. I heard about Vera Holodnaya that she is a brilliant actress of silent movies. I never understood the silent movie. Horrible job makeup and old film ... But I watched this movie ... he turned all my idea of ​​silent films. Play the movie is not as easy as it might seem at first glance. And to play in silent films really just need a gift, because the actors have to play only person. And as played by Vera KHolodnaya in silent films no longer played NO ONE. She is really the most brilliant actress of silent movies.
