Review

In the post-Soviet era theme of persecution of Jews in the state or only in the domestic scale sometimes become an excuse for all sorts of speculation filmmakers, which can not be avoided, in particular, and the film "See Paris and die." This picture is unpleasant affects, above all, the lack of dignity and hysteria, including - in the game Tatyana Vasilyeva, somehow marked a variety of prizes: the festival "Kinotavr" prize "Nika" and even monetary award from the Moscow City Hall. Of course, anti-Semitism as a manifestation of the universal chauvinism should call the righteous anger of the normal citizens, and a typical Jewish mother, ready to do anything for his talented son, a pianist, is required to obtain from the audience only the hot empathy - and nothing more.

But oddly enough, while watching the movie Alexander Proshkin (its "Cold Summer of ..." was far-tuned to exactly the socio-political tone in the treatment of recurrent Stalinism too outrageous) does not leave one feeling. The heroine Elena is more concerned about the device prosperous career own offspring Jura and desirable to "not in this country," and not genuine concerns about domestic and state oppression of the Jews. In any event, for her concept of the "fifth point" in the questionnaire also acquired psychopathological to "fad", sort of persecution.

And at one of those moments, even if you - half-Jewish, and the mother, begins to experience a sharp bias against victims who are pursuing to provoke retaliatory inappropriate actions. A message, the application directly to the title belt is completely offensive: stóit whether voluntarily leave their homeland (whatever bastard it was!), If in a dream Paris wants right to die - either from an indescribable joy, or of all-consuming angst? Perhaps, with the support of actress director created a different, more sinister way: not a Jewish mother, but Soviet obsessed aunt, who is obsessed with the implementation of their repressed complexes, wanting to create the perfect destiny for his son, so the nationality has absolutely nothing to do with it, and mean neighbor -Russian, envying other people's success, is the villain, even without his anti-Semitic remarks?

That is the Jewish motif appears in the movie "See Paris and die" bringing in favor of modernity and not without a certain amount of speculation: to play on the first hushed material and achieve external severity of the problem. The effect is largely gets back on the result - the viewer, regardless of awards handed out generously, may instead be irritated because of the role which she performed Tatyana Vasilyeva-Itsykovich.

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.

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."
