Hey.
Write a review (share the opinion that not the same) on a new film based on the novel Bulgakov sincerely consider a bucket against the background of the last week. I won't, though I have something to say. A few extraneous thoughts, though.
The first time I saw it, I said “oh” when I saw Yeshua (Aaron Vodovoz). Here he is, a short stocky Semite from Galilee, with short curly hair, practically written off from the results of the research of criminal anthropologists. Not an icon-painted Middle Russian boy with a long hairstyle and beauty indescribable (as usual), even with the crafty squint of Sasha Bely from the Brigade. That's right. You can read the rest of them, I won’t.
I liked the script decision. The reflector, to reflect others, is put on the Master, not even on him, but on Bulgakov, who writes about the author, who writes about the author, who writes about Pilate. A good move, giving room to who you think future writers of the same novel.
In the next film adaptation, you could put a reflector on Margarita. Once upon a time there was a girl from a decent family who graduated from Smolny before the revolution, and it began. Did she read Faust? Don't go to Grandma's. What's wrong?
But I would install a reflector on Ivanushka Homeless, and now I will develop the topic a little.

So what do we know about Ivan? Since the action takes place on May 5, 1929, and he is 23 years old, we record the year of birth - 1906. Of the workers, the "proletarian of intellectual labour" (c). And in the epilogue, we learn that a thirty-year-old, or a little more, a young man becomes... Professor of the Institute of History and Philosophy. That is, in the courtyard 1936 (or 1937). And Vanya is our professor. How so? True, he keeps an oath, does not write poetry, and is punished with a headache at a full moon.
The only way to jump into this elevator at that time was to graduate from the Institute of Red Professors. There from Ivanov forged the future ideologists of everything, and most importantly, the apologists of internal terror. Vanya and released from the mental hospital (and from there was not released in fact, this is a one-way ticket), only because he told everything about the Master and Woland. And all the testimonies of the Barefoots, Varenuchs and Romans coincided, although Vani was not there. I think it was up there and I liked it. No wonder expeditions were sent from that top to Tibet and Antarctica. There, at the top, they wanted to be like Volanda (hence Bulgakov himself was forgiven). What a find Ivan is! After all, there, at the top, it was well understood that for a qualitative struggle with what has essence, it is necessary to know the subject from the inside, to know deeply, for example, to be a spiritual seminarian in Tiflis. Or, it is impossible to shoot a cigarette from Satan.
And we are all well aware that historians and philosophers up there were not very necessary, because at the top they themselves were both, wrote papers, and later also understood genetics and linguistics. And what could Vanya teach in 1937 to survive? I could have finished the feed for a future film with a reflector on the Homeless, I wanted to, but something was in the way. Watch your hands. And Bulgakov has nothing to do with it exactly.
