The new film by Clint Eastwood – is a complex phenomenon, which combines well-known story of the ocean, a charismatic character, patriotic rhetoric, a strong statement, financial success and, finally, the Oscar nomination, defeat in which the film is almost no chance. Here converged all the stars in the sky cinematic success (what do not end up lucky, for example, last year as “Survivor”), as the highest grossing film that year was not a Hollywood blockbuster with loud advertising, and filmed for a modest 50 million chamber story, albeit about the war, for this viewer should see in the film is something he especially important, in fact necessary here and now.
At the time, quite the opposite thing happened to Kathryn Bigelow and her “Hurt Locker “. After gathering all the possible awards, the film became the inheritance of highbrow audience admired the fine directorial approach and taut as a string, nerve. But the viewer of the film did not go, leaving him with a dubious achievement of the non-cash oskaronosnika in recent history. And much more successful in terms of rentals, “The number one goal” is not shown, and a third of the number of tickets sold istvudovskoy drama. This is despite the fact that Bigelow was actually thriller, while Eastwood all postrelushki amounting take about 15 minutes timing.
And all because being an integral part of the Hollywood establishment Bigelow could not understand what is understood quite a close sense of self Eastwood American heartland. Namely – less snot, the common people do not like this. Need no throwing, no need snot, do not need the conflict. The film of this kind is successful only if his appeal, his promise is simple and fairly accurately formulated to be clearly understood.
Yes, the American people needed a hero without the slightest blemish, morality without internal contradictions, patriotism without any “but”. Republicans were eager to see his movie about the war: a simple, melodramatic, but at the same time frowning, severe, and Chris Kyle for this ideal. The legendary sniper-record holder, who managed to escape from the end of the war, began to help other veterans in their struggle with the consequences of participation in hostilities, but died at the hands of another veteran who wanted to help.
To this story harmful reservations and doubts, any throwing glavgeroya permissible only in the fight against their own weaknesses, what must successfully overcome by willpower alone, flags should flutter, Al-Qaeda militants have to die.
If the child was in sight – he raises a grenade, and then be killed. If a woman gets in sight here – it will throw the same grenade, and will be killed. No doubt about it. If the child is still throw the ill-fated RPGs, then it safely escape the inevitable fate, we do not shoot at unarmed children. The protagonist is strict but fair, as bequeathed to him by his father, he is not an avenger, he is a warrior. And no hihanek and antics, this is not “Team America”, then rechuga about “wolves, sheep and shepherds’ touted repeatedly and with as a serious expression on her face.
In this case, the protagonist do not care about any uncomfortable questions that all Americans are doing in Iraq, as there was Al-Qaeda, where she appeared in general that there is now making LIH, he would come back if on a throne sat still unfortunate Saddam Hussein, the chief bugbear All cartoons for rednecks, and did not raise if it is education on the spot vacated by the death of Bin Laden.
No, sir, the main character – a simple guy who knows that politics – it’s dirty, and war – a simple thing. Here is your enemy, kill. Here is your friend – protection. This kind of thinking gives confidence and helps to live. If you certainly do not kill.
And the main opposition in the film remains a protracted hunt for the enemy sniper, not moaning wife (as demonstrated weakness is quite liberal, and the same nevnyatno- impotent), shown schematically quite the same post-traumatic syndrome (yes he was! Do not come up with his liberal psychiatrists!) or weak-willed brother, unsuccessfully trying to be a true patriot – older brother.
Yes, Eastwood tells the viewer with a wink in our country is full of wimps, but it is our weaklings, and they also need to be protected. To do this we created. So we will win.
However, if you are not the target audience of this film (it should be noted that the film does not take away Americans, but, for example, the Serbs, a huge proportion of our audience would have reacted quite favorably to such paternalistic the views of the authors and the main character), then quickly begin to climb everywhere white threads simplifications, and just as a shovel, American patriotism throughout the world decided to ridicule, not to admire. In fact, the film is extremely simplistic, quite modest in means of expression, and sometimes just plain boring.
Here is a movie.
PS: soon in the Russian rolling out shot before all the latest developments of Russian-Ukrainian movie “The Battle of Sevastopol” about the Soviet sniper-Ukrainian, which raises similar questions somewhat thinner here, and compare the views.
Yes, says Eastwood, in our country is full of wimps, but it is our weaklings, and their also need to be protected The protagonist & mdash; simple guy who knows that politics & mdash; it’s dirty, and the war & mdash; a simple thing. Here is your enemy, kill. Here’s your friend & mdash; protection. This kind of thinking gives confidence and helps to live. If you certainly do not kill. And the main opposition in the film remains a protracted hunt for the enemy sniper, not moaning wife. Yes, says the viewer Eastwood, winking, in our country is full of wimps, but it is our weaklings, and they also need to be protected. To do this we created.

| Roman KORNEEV If the characters involved science, at least half of the time that they decide to block puzzles, and a smaller one to play spies, maybe from the film would have turned out something like a coherent docudrama. But in fact it is a melodrama, with clearly in its first principle nedotyagivaet to tear Oscar-winning standards, so the authors constantly have to abut against all outsiders. Do not be raised by certain themes, there would be no nominations for "Oscar", do not be Cumberbatch - would not have high ratings. |
| Roman KORNEEV film until the very end skillfully pretends completely unalloyed sports drama, play two bratuha -bortsuh tirelessly to wallow each other on the carpet in the sweat-soaked sweat pants. Locker rooms, warm-up, stretching, crumpled ears stёsannye cheekbones, intense men's thighs, flickering during the capture of arms, everything is so atmospheric and steeped in a kind of Greco-Roman energy of this male bonding that a captive audience is drawn and generally feels nerve happening. But all in vain. |
| Roman KORNEEV Inarritu of the heroic special effects, drum soundtrack, no visible mounting gluing of household dialogues and two repetitive passages theater begins recreating the inner world is not individual actor, but all the modern theater and cinematic space, imbued with a lack of ideas, with emphasis on foreign slozhnopostanovochnost instead unclaimed spectator internal complexity, interleaved constant samopovtor, and most importantly do not really understand where to go. |
| Roman KORNEEV Tops Chappy of acting are so easy that after returning home errant robot even the most frostbitten ukurok will cry like a baby. Another thing is that Blomkamp on that note can not stop, the film must be final, and starting from a certain moment, the crash of vigorous cannonade movie takes another leap, beginning to talk about an unexpected way things even more abstractly-high - about life, death, love, that is the soul, where we're going, why we are here. |
| Roman KORNEEV The rolling grid this year is arranged quite simply - as long as the viewer painfully peers into a poster, distributors as well invent painfully what it once prohodnyak slip. And in March, in this sense is not an exception. These hits so small that the fingers of one hand grabs the eye, about most of the other movies you just read the first time.
