The film, "Example of Intonation" is not an exhortation to colleagues or spectators in how we should look, talk, think, how to show. "Example" - as an experience, as a test, as an attempt. I do not hide their sympathy for the hero, do not hide the tragic premonition, which, of course, may not coincide with reality. If the leader of the Russian parliament, a character you have seen a great politician and felt - Man with me and that's enough.


We are all people indefinitely
The film "Example of Intonation" can be read in different ways, but you can not read at all. Personally for me - this is an example of how you can for 47 minutes to destroy the myth of the "superhuman" strength of man and that in 1991 - it is really a year of freedom. Well, if the "leader of the Russian parliament, a character more politicians we looked and felt the man" - the author really means did the trick. The film is particularly important, even significant look now, from the perspective of evaluation of the events of twenty years ago.
In the middle of the film, the music of Verdi's opera "Nabucco" and "chorus of slaves" mourn his freedom. In the history of music literature, this aria became a symbol of hope for the future. Neither is whether the Russians had in 1991, the year?

Somewhere on the coast in the distance from the town live and work crew working on the road - a few families. Heavy and senselessness of their work - the way they constantly repaired, does not lead anywhere, and no one needs.

Monotony of life violates settled beside the tent a couple traveling by car. They are people of a different social layer, a different culture. 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".
