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.

Review

I went ... to God for the freedom to fight and fight and fell like a hot fire smoke was gone.

I once touched the beautiful so out of my mind this girl all the time does not fly out, but remained in the first half of the youth and adulthood (21-35).

Liberty wants everyone to understand that it is different for children and adults. To cut to friveyam should take place in this life, and if such opportunities at the moment, then at least begrudgingly pozaglyadyvat through the wall of obstacles to this freedom not want me one.
 Actually, I noticed that our local people watch less movies and later to ripen them, all the more the channel is not on the European mainland and in American movies. Russian same movies, especially the older ones often with neuropathic endings in contrast to household plot. And this is far from gone, apparently shot the father of "Brother", like that film shows uncut dognivaniya period and the collapse of the USSR State colossus.

All pretty vital shown is that if you fall in love himself is not necessarily mutually and do not always have a couple of matches, such a stretch misalliance happened with Robert-Bob. Of course the characters are not named in nashenskie Bob and Nat, some awkwardness. In love with a biker and a stern voice-over narration sensibly conducted without thinking of the appropriate words, they came from the heart. Entertained devils, weaving about the future, about zagadyvaya house in the suburbs. A girl, it was not necessary, she ssuchilas. Maybe her life so obtochila, but she went hitchhiking, no money with a strange desire to move to another part of the world.

The guy from Saratov, was looking for her in the basement, where they slept, but peering into the room he saw the girl-child defenseless and naked, for me it is not clear what was meant. As a result, Bob acted not reasonable zagrobiv yourself, your motsel and as in the ballad of the ancient Russian warrior shadow wandered through the snow near a spreading bush as a true Solitario myeon, terse in life, not to humiliate the fear of death, he made a fire and waited. No time to see, love came to him, softened guy will blunt caution fatal fascination turned an ordinary Russian girl. The film very much, reminds of past stage with just such a stone cold (deadpan) man, but a happy and without tragedy.

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 ...
