Nothing compares with holidays A fabulous collage of diverse and incredible stories, with a New Year’s atmosphere and the spirit of the holiday, rushes from city to city, through time zones, of which there are still a fair number on the territory of Russia, filling the hearts with a share of lyrics, positivity and good mood.
The number of New Year’s adventures told is such that everyone will find the most curious and interesting. So to speak, mine. This unique mood, reminiscent of childhood, as well as a wonderful time when wishes are made and fulfilled, becomes the center of attention in the unfolding action, growing closer to the final. After all, nothing can compare with the holidays, and the New Year is one of the most significant and important holidays, so that the New Year stories are simply obliged to become the most vivid and rich in their emotions and the charge of a good mood.
It is even surprising that in such a small timekeeping fit so many wonderful stories, some of which touch the soul, others make a good laugh, and still others may not seem too appropriate in such an almanac of New Year stories. Impressive is also the set of directors, including Timur Bekmambetov and Alexander Voitinsky, as well as an excellent casting, to list which is entirely not enough, here and Urgant, and Svetlakov, and Garmash and many, many others. Adults, teenagers and children all play, surprisingly, openly, very naturally and vividly, and are selected in such a way that even minor minor roles are remembered and caught in the soul. Given that a sequel is planned next year, it would be good to see at least a few characters from this film again, even occasionally.
The ideas chosen for the overlapping plots can cause an abundant range of feelings. The story of a girl from an orphanage will surely touch hearts, the sketch “two in a plane” will laugh from beginning to end, the episodes with Brezhnev will give a feeling of a New Year’s miracle even before the rich finale, extremely successfully combines humor with romance the plot of Garmash and Smolyaninov, and in the episode there will be an incredible charisma Verzhbitsky, only playing against all hopes and expectations, not another villain. The kaleidoscope of emotions throws from sadness to joy, from adventure to hope, from anticipation to celebration, uniting friends, loved ones - not even necessarily at the traditional festive table, and even those who are separated by distance.
Of course, like every fairy tale, there must be a moral here too. And equal to the number of stories, it is multifaceted and multifaceted. Let everything be obvious and superficial, the film is not designed for any deep analysis of what is happening, but even with its ease it can make you think about the importance and importance of various elements of our daily life, whether it is an opportunity to arrange a holiday for someone for free, or make a choice between a truly successful, promising career and family happiness, comfort and a loved one. This, of course, is not all, but let the viewer himself take the necessary ideas from all said polygamy, and even if he does not find morality at all, in this sparkling salad of fairy tales, then everything is fine at all, and all around wonderful people, surrounded by attention, trust and care.
If one can find any defect in this picture, it will be its inappropriateness for another event and time of year. The film is a holiday, but not so much creating in the heart of this nostalgic and magical atmosphere, as pushing for the upcoming holiday. Appropriate on his eve. Bright characters, of course, are remembered, leaving a mark on the soul, but their stories are characteristic only for a specific period, only for the New Year. But on the other hand, under any other holidays, not a little has already been filmed, but will continue to be filmed, the successful idea to revise the "Tree Tree" is obliged to visit us also under the "Old New Year", well, next December, instead of reviewing this picture, cinemas (as well as the creators of this project) will already please us with the second collection of New Year's stories - "Tree 2". After all, the first film must be successful, relevant and truly festive! So, as they say, with the new film us!
