Their relationship, lifestyle attract movie character - twelve Yuri. The boy approaches the newcomers. This leads to a serious conflict with parents and makes think about my life.

Review

The film is really a sort of "memory", "sleep" - all the artistic means of expression to work on something to show us the whole story through their perception of the 12-year-old boy. When you first view it was very difficult to catch the idea, it seemed to many incomprehensible, illogical. But then it became clear that this picture can not watch as it "head" it is important to immerse yourself in the material and treat it as any kind of developing the story, but as a stream of memories, a stream of thoughts, matured boy Jyrki sometimes confused with one another, which is not as bright as they were once. And all the light and sound play, I think it was on such coverage.

Director's work is pretty interesting, and unique, as already mentioned, was a task to tell us a linear story with a beginning, middle and end, the decision of the director to show us the means of man's inner world of film language, in this case a 12-year-old boy, and that's why the director (and sound) to use a symbol, in the representation of types of people of different social status, cultural level, various conventions, and in some aspects, overdone.

It is impossible not to note the work and the sound: first, it seemed that the sound is trying to dominate the picture, and sometimes even go in contrast with it, because the sound is very tight, and plays in the film is not a supporting role, as one of the top: a lot of sounds, noises, votes, difficult for the "music". However, if you try to understand the director's plan - everything will fall into place - the music will go down in tandem with the image and perepletetsya into a single visual-sound experience, very dense in its texture.

Overall, the movie seemed to me, is too heavy for the unprepared viewer, but if you find the right approach to it, to understand that we are trying to convey to the director and to take that little convention, which takes place on the screen, we see a good, smart movie, with a bright director's idea and expressed a very interesting attempt to transfer visual or audio screen concept words like "dream", "sleep", "thought", "memory".

Review

The film is good because it perfectly the atmosphere of the restructuring, the zeitgeist.

It is very interesting to look at us, only very different from ... other vital perception.

I've always been fascinated by the Soviet or Novorossiysk "veil."

Interiors, music - all this creates in the film a cover of secrecy.

Nice to look at the scenes that were commonplace then, and you will not see now. For example, a bystander, a completely unknown person gives the hero of light. Now this scene would seem absurd, but in the movie it looks very soulful and place.

The first half of the film measured, almost no plot, but, strangely enough, I liked it even more than the second "extremely topical" part, because it is riddled with a touching warmth, not without its share of drama, of course, but still very very nice.

Fragment from the film

Review

What is the "American Dream", which has long since become a global dream? "More and more sweet to devour." In every sense. Jack London, carried out the American dream in full, adding to the "more and more sweet," In vivo "publicity". He did not hesitate to craft work and even maiming his best work in favor of bourgeois crowd - just to make faster and more accurately voiced dollar. During this cruel fate has paid off with the talented upstart firmly sliding it, banal and insightful thinker and storyteller on the shelf "reading for young people".

For the company got there and Wolf Larsen - the hero, in no way does not deserve such a fate, a real prototype of which was a reference to Jack London in the best years of his career.

Alexander McLane, like London, was «self made man». The most famous poacher last quarter of the 19th century, managed to climb out of poverty in the owners of yachts and ships. This is it on both coasts of the USA and Canada (as well as in criminal chronicle, long before the novel) was referred to as the «Sea Wolf». Incidentally, the English translation rather a "pirate" and not "sea wolf".

In 1892, when 16-year-old Jack London first set foot on the deck of "Sophia Sutherland", McLane has already implemented his "dream" in full - a real «Sea Wolf» was born May 15, 1858, and then, at the age of 34 , was considered the most successful captain of the Western Flotilla. A to 1903-th, when London began work on a novel, 45-year-old McLain became a legend after being declared wanted by five states (including Russia, Canada and Australia), and is suspected of killing more than 70 people. That it is a middle-aged sailor, a train pulled by notoriety, London, and took the basis for a key character.

Not to admire such a vital breakthrough and let semi-criminal, fame, London could not. Therefore in addition to talent inherent McLane (mind, excellent knowledge of navigation and mathematics, business acumen and ability to win over the other), Larsen has presented his own love of literature and the craving for beauty. And from the negative - the cruelty of the real captain and his penchant for sociopathy. Creepy turned hero.

And a hero in London just had to be destroyed. Intentionally cruel. Purposely tell the whole story through the mouth of a fool helpless intellectual who has no idea of ​​the cause, make a strong, bold and smart "waste" Wolves. London did so not out of humanity, but because he knew life. He had not been able to change the coward Hump. The struggle with the elements on the island in the second half of the novel and other bravado to the lady does not count - a bold and really good character would never run away from such a ship. He would have stayed and managed to change something in my life and worldview of captain. A Hump can not convince Larsen even possible to doubt its brutal principles. Because there is no match of the two philosophies, there's only solo performance of Larsen. And let the wolf is honest and consistent "good" Van Weyden, life has its own laws and whims: Wolf should perish, Hump - to live and thrive. In no other way. And this is not the happy ending.

Good film on such a product can be removed only carefully re-read the book. Evaluate the merits of this film - too. By the way, one of us would think of re-reading "child" in the age of the classic? Want to reconsider whether the movie, filmed on its products? Just a couple of months ago, I myself "sinned" in London, having behind him a cursory reading of the "Wolf" in more than 10 years ago. Now the novel seems logical, truthful and intelligent.


A three adaptations that happened to see the last few years, the show Igor Apasyan was the closest to the original idea and the writer, and therefore the best.

Four series, four and a half hours of the film looks at one go, the voltage is forced from scene to scene. Painful, close to despair atmosphere reigning in the "ghost", masterfully described in the book, transmitted accurately. The film "sounds" and looked for real - not a single "plywood" scene, move the deck under my feet, the sound of the sea and the groan of an old wooden ship - the effect of the presence of the maximum.

A "solo" on the fate of the captain and the lives of their voluntary and involuntary slaves - Lautsyavichusa best work of his career. Not as rough as a book Larsen, but the result remains the same. He stifled the riots in the bud, and wants to at least someone to really rebelled. He is tough and convincing, his outlook on life enslave rather than any compulsion, but by every word asks to prove him wrong. Lautsyavichus impressed just that - hidden contradictions and the ability to crush the opponent's not physical strength and strength of character. In his mouth sounded so convincing larsenovskie swinish aphorisms about how the world and society, about the bitch-life (it should be noted here also great merit who voiced Baltic actor). Well despair of uselessness and futility of his own "achievements" - the "American dream" cruelly deceived Wolf Larsen. However, dreams are often deceiving us.

The film remains brutal scenes of the novel, but that he just won.

And the rest - Hump "seems to be" not bad, but not right, life is unfair, Larsen fear and pity - such a precipitate remains after watching the film.

Then still very young Valeri Todorovski meticulously read London. And one - just one - indulgence he did the main character: Larsen scenario Todorovski dies, and dies slowly and horribly. Because the feel of the movie a little less painful than that of the final book.

With the real Wolf is to get even life itself, showing how right London, choosing its denouement of the novel. Alexander McLane corpse was found in the sea off the southwest coast of Canada in September 1914. Was it murder or death by ridiculous accident - remains unknown. Fault of the McLane in any of the murders of which he was suspected, and has not been proved. By its 150th anniversary, in 2008, Canadian and American historians have restored many of the facts of his life and published a book with a lot, and talked at length that he was not a monster, but rather the product of a bloody and brutal business, in the formation of which has played a the main roles. However, historians have called the book «Captain Alexander McLane: Jack London's Sea Wolf». Literary villain crossed a real person. Perhaps it is a payment of Captain McLane for his "American dream."

Film is based on a story by Leonid Andreyev "Life Basil Thebes", the fate of the village priest Basil, who passed through a great many troubles, renounces God, to a still greater grief regain faith - true.

Review

"Purification" - a mystical drama about the fate of the priest, his crazy wife, drunkards, their daughters, mocks his parents and sick son, imagining her mother's dreams.

The film was shot on one of the taboo in the Soviet Union, so it shows the spiritual elevation of the main character, speaking of the existence of God, as immutable dogma. However, the main character, the priest loses faith in God.

Acting in a film on top. Each of the actors plays so that it seems as if his character - the main. The game also Balueva beyond all praise.

The film is striking in its directness, sincerity, and mysticism. He was removed to the public, but, first of all, for people who believe.
