The significant film Socrates (USSR) was shot in 1991 by director V. Sokolov. The events in the picture unfold in ancient Greece, from 404 to 399 BC. The grueling Peloponnesian War leads Athens to decline. The victorious Sparta puts a special garrison in the city and subordinates everyone to its orders. The established life of the Athenians is being reshaped by the invaders in a different way, and we are not talking about any democracy.
Traffic
The power belongs to the oligarchs, the main one of whom is the harsh Critias (B. Klyuev). Oligarchy means tyranny to the Greeks, confusion and fear in society. And in this outcome people blame Socrates (the role of G. Aredakov). He is a former teacher of the cruel Critias, and Lycon (A. Galko) demands that the philosopher be held accountable. But Critias also has a reason to deal with his teacher, and only the patronage of the supreme leader of Sparta Pausanias (actor G. Drozd) prevents this.
When the enemy leaves, Likon finds allies to fight Socrates - personal scores with him want to settle the talentless poet Melet (G. Vorobyov) and greedy leather magnate Anit (V. Stepanov). Out of revenge for an insulting assessment of his poetic abilities, Melet accuses the great Athenian of blasphemy and demands that he be executed for “corrupting the mind.”
Truth is more expensive
The evils of the philosopher’s teachings to society are proved by the fact that his disciples Critias, Harmid, and Alcibiades are guilty of the situation of Athens. Socrates "dismisses" the charges, but the majority votes for a severe sentence to the ruler of the Duma. The author of the statement that “a man above the crowd” is offered to repent and renounce seditious words. Then he can avoid death by asking the Athenians for forgiveness or exile.
But in the most difficult times for the country, Socrates does not consider himself entitled to trade in truth. Even if the price of a deal with conscience is his life. He obeys the court decision and accepts death with the pride of the hero.
The film “Socrates” was filmed by the creative and production association “Soyuztelfilm” in alliance with the film companies “Petropol” and “Lenfilm” in a watershed for the country in 1991, as it seemed, on the topic of the day. But even after decades, this picture remains relevant, as well as the events of centuries ago described in it. close
