The stupidest things are usually done with an instructive look “The Munchausen” by Mark Zakharov consists of 2 episodes: in the first we are shown all sorts of quirks and twists of the baron, in the second part to go to the denunciation of people who are trying to do business on anything, including a deceased relative and are extremely unhappy when someone begins to interfere, especially when the deceased himself does it.
The series differ dramatically, if in the first part we are told a witty, charming story about a joker and a merry man, then in the second it begins with moral teachings about how to live. It ends with a famous monologue about “smile, gentlemen, smile.” Moreover, it seems that during the whole series the baron himself smiles only once, and his only joke is to smash the greenhouse, which for 3 years faithfully fed him.
I do not like pathos and moral teachings, especially from the "most honest man in the world" Baron Munchausen. And he himself, judging by the film, did not like it when he was told how to live.
Perhaps that was not the case, however, and Muller’s gardener is indeed too much like the unfortunate baron who shot himself. He is so similar that even his own servant confuses him with him. In the case of such a falsification, it is easy to understand such a serious change in the character of the main character, but then it is a pity that the director left us so few clues about what happened in the film.
On the roles of actors, respectively, will also have to distinguish the first and second parts. In the second, the brutally serious Jankowski is as terrible as he was beautiful in the first part. Perhaps only the burgomaster plays equally well in both parts.
Screenmasters, do not teach the viewer, do not teach. The most unfortunate things in the world are usually done with the most serious, instructive look.
