Venue story moved to the pre-revolutionary Russia. The story has undergone significant alterations. Mayakovsky emphasized the contradictions in the character of the hero: the combination of anarcho-individualistic rebellion with a touching love dedicated to the teacher.

Review


Mayakovsky was really a genius.

Make a film, at a time, on the subject of love ...

Striking his image - a street bully, disheveled, just rejoicing life.

He always smoked a cigarette, and it is a notorious villain in the teeth, diseased love, looked very lyrical.

The main character falls in love with a teacher from the local school, a few times to bully, and once and for standing up for her. It "interferes" with the same - a group of people of all beliefs. After futile attempts to win the hand of his beloved character, he dares to challenge these bullies and they score it to death. But he still has time to kiss your love ...

I think, Vladimir Vladimirovich. During this death experienced deja vu: I once again proved that the great poet, probably killed, and it was like in this movie.

His talent and originality of "unprofitable" proletarian society.

Well ... his voice is still, Mayakovsky much left behind.

He will be back ...
