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".

Story by Yuri Polyakov, which formed the basis of the script, one of the first in the domestic literature for the first time to illuminate the social problems of military service.

Review

At first glance, the film Husain Erkenov "One hundred days before the order" may seem completely apathetic recruitment featureless with a weak formulation. The fact that an outsider like it is unlikely, even less will like to serve in the army, and considered this period is very important stage in life. Like he could very narrow audience, mostly those who served and took the army as the biggest ass, which only can please people. Assess bias, personally I can not, and I think this film the most honest picture about the army, but because, as in any normal Russian part - meaning here. But it is so, and should be a movie to one hour to demonstrate all that gloomy palette of feelings, when you realize that they are in a place that does not have to be. Just a collection of scenes from various negative manifestations of military life, passed through the prism of the flying from the coils of consciousness. Slowness of some scenes finally turns all the established system of the absurd, senseless and merciless, where people are fighting for some unknown reason, are constantly being built, do something and ... die. Die, of course, not in the literal sense - discouraged that, in those circumstances in which there are characters of the film leads to a clouding of reason, fortunately, easily reversible, however, as a result, one can make some things with which to be reckoned. It is from this state are obtained suicide, autopsy revealing veins and sometimes shoots a hundred days to order, and these actions can not be explained, but watching this movie, you can feel if it is of course necessary.

A screen adaptation of the famous novel by Yuri Polyakov came 10 years later, after writing the book, and only 3 years old - with its output (censorship!), of course, it is claimed, and the relevance and topicality of the source. The book is famous because it was the first work that lays bare the problems of a modern army, in particular, hazing, had not attached by the mass public, and causing problems with the censors. Given the fact that in the 90's in Russian cinema was too little eroticism, Elena Kondulaynen subsequently and glorify a bit part in the film, but the fact that the army drove off the coils fantasy soldier becomes a sex symbol of the national cinema, says more about in what were appalling state it is the film in the early 90's. Therefore, the movie currently has an exotic representative early Russian cinema, which is still the Soviet, but from which one can already see that the Union is falling apart, and the ruins of his future is already building a nest grim reality of the 90th, where the "studio of children's and youth films" will no longer be children and youth films.

Outcome: Operational psychological arthouse about negative impressions of the military service, to see that there are very few reasons, the main of which are: to remember what this stuff did your army.
