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.

Review

The film - a set of scenes and episodes that make fun of all the Soviet regime since revolutionary times. When you watch it, it seems that the actors, many of them at the same time, and the directors and scriptwriters like get the go-ahead, waiting, well, when will you can ...
... And waited, "Let the guys, you can burn!"
Guys and lit!
In episodic scenes starring pretty famous actors and actresses such as Larissa Guzeeva, Leonid Yarmolnik and beloved Simon Faraday.
We do not forget that the film is made in the era of the 90's, where the film industry was given a place ... one of the latter, which does not pay any practically attention to the financial side, then shot it pretty well, and the acting is just great, because working in the interest of .
The movie is cool, you should definitely see.

The reign of Ivan the Terrible - this time, fame, luxury and cruelty, perversion of all kinds, lowliness virtue, and betrayal becoming the rule. But even then there were nights Russian people as Prince Silver and Morozov.

Fragment from the film "Tsar Ivan the Terrible"




Review



And here is a film about Ivan the Terrible. Moreover, according to "Silver Prince". I love this story, and watched with great interest this screen version (there is a second, it still was not looking).

In the film two minuses. With that, the film perfectly revealed almost all the images, the image of the king is "swimming". Whether nedoprodumali interpretation, whether the actor implementation problems directing task. Half of the phrases he utters not the tone, sometimes the motivation for his actions is extremely vague, and even incomprehensible, he served there as a mentally ill person, or is that his vision - just a dream or a metaphor. The second disadvantage - lack of whole idea is just filming the story of Tolstoy. "Duplicity," the king and fool for a full idea still does not pull.


It seems to be seriously flawed, but still I liked the movie.

The story, with the exception of the final, recorded a surprisingly complete (minus a couple of scenes). No special stupidities, sets and costumes did not look cheap, and the film is surprisingly not boring. The plot is a good story, and here it is not spoiled. About the book a little more openness in the "seamy": rioting guardsmen here more directly shown.

The second role Kavsadze was given to him somehow better than the first, whacky get his touching and sincere.

Fedor Basmanov success. And Tolstoy is quite transparent hints that a relationship with him in Grozny, but here at all in plain text. The only thing that sorry, missed the fact that for all that Basmanov brave soldier, and not just "in Baby annuals" much dancing. Actor - handsome, great eyes, the operator does not hesitate to take a look, and played well: there is no love on either side not, Fedor is trying to manipulate the king for corrupt purposes, not very skillfully, until recently, not realizing that his beauty and skill in the pleasures for Ivan - a toy that has long tired, and just a habit established relationships postpones the inevitable disgrace. Alas, the acting duo with Kavsadze then somehow does not add up, that is clearly not interested in this facet of his image, despite the fact that the screen time given to Basmanova except that slightly less than silver.

"Druzhina" is good too - kind of a true nobleman, this noble old Russian suit. One of the most striking episodes - an attempt to break his Grozny, wearing a clown suit. When the lord of silence is menacing, then casually throws his hat, looking into the eyes of the king and begins to scold him outwardly calm ... I was filled.


I liked very amorous dreams Duke Silver, which in the original was not. But in vain! Lover can not dream of the beloved, and at every opportunity. And then there's separation ...

Final evidence preserved, but psychologically - no. Silver Book, a very simple and gentle, shows himself a true fatalist, and in the film - is very worried. I can not say it - lack.

While filming in front of us the classics, the film is clearly not meant to be high art, which is very good. The result was normal such drama on a historical theme. But here's the image of the Terrible led, yes ... maybe in the next screening is better?

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."
