Meeting with Georgian guy distract hopelessly sick girl from the experience. With his parents' heroes travel to Israel for medical advice. It turns out that she is healthy. It seemed that life was adjusted ... But their happiness does not last long: to replace the sadness comes another one ...


Review


Once seen on television movie Valery Akhadova initially perceived as a "burning tears of melodrama" (not a coincidence that in 1994 Ahadov arranged in Magnitogorsk, which was working in the theater, a special film festival more noble name "Crystal Tears"). But here's an unconventional ending with voluntary death of the heroine, which still could not meet even rash promise to his beloved die, made quite a different look at the tape.


Valery Ahadov works pretty smoothly - successful pictures ("Who is going to Truskavets?", "Family Secrets"), and not very successful ("Ruth") alternate with all checkpoints, random, supposedly removed forcibly. And in the film "I promised, I'll go ..." to detect signs of unpretentious, negligence, haste, though hectic period "mnogokartinya" that occurred in the late 90's, it seems to not only set out clearly and intelligibly, but also as Development of the more stylistically justifiable and artistic interpretation.

This band started as usual melodrama about a girl from somewhere in the Urals, who accidentally discovered by a local doctor that she had, in all probability, breast cancer - and to live very long. Then the story gets adventurous (crazy ride in his car to the Black Sea, the deception of the young businessmen of Georgian) and romantic (the meeting with the beautiful and noble prince - the future architect Tomaz actually belongs to the family of the Georgian princes). He appeared as if from their own dreams girls, but their love of the "on the edge of the abyss" and amid the beauties of Tbilisi and Tel Aviv to give her the necessary history "touches hysterical" - just like in the play "The Lady of the Camellias", excerpts of which we sometimes wedged into the narrative.


But modern Violetta, by the way, amazingly thin, delicate and exquisitely played by Elena Korikovoy another three years before her success in "Mistress into Maid" is neither a lady of the demimonde, inexorably fading from consumption, or (later discover) terminally ill, which surely must leave her Armand. However, the gap between the two lovers, who had already combined seemingly doomed marriage, it is still going on - and not metaphysical, but by long-known issue of class (and ethnic - part of a new, post-Soviet) prejudice.

And instead of suffering, and the final happy reunion parted loved ones, whose ways and views about again intersect at one point and now forever, is something that breaks the traditional system verified melodrama. Of course, "Lady of the Camellias" can be seen as a case avtoevtanazii, slow mortification. But the young heroine of the novel Yevgeny Kozlovsky, served as the basis for the film Valeria Akhadova, passes away quietly, as if just fallen asleep on the seat coaches still solves it in an instant, dramatic force of will, and most importantly - a sense of self-esteem: "I promised, I'll go! ".

If it were not for the music ... It was Michael Tariverdiev music, even for him, not quite familiar instrumented (just like the style of Oleg Karavaychuk in the 70's), originally perceived as an imbalance of this sad story, gradually perceived even in the harmonic terms. She - as a kind of hymn to light detachment of being, which is not completed abroad death, and goes on and on in a different time and place, in the infinite otherness. And the transition to those unfamiliar with life outside is not terrible, but at peace and rest. Most Tariverdiyeva not become in this world in 4 years - but there was his music, as the good news from wherever, promising or not promising, they leave.

Try to put yourself in the shoes of the protagonist, which fell by chance on fishing schooner, surviving and winning a lot of difficulties and humiliation against the sea and the unpredictable nature of its captain, rightly bears the nickname - Wolf Larsen, and you permanently leave these videos in their collection.

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.
