The road in art. Since the time of Gogol, the image of the road in Russian art is unusually tragic and causes a feeling of helplessness. In the vast expanses of the homeland, only roads connect numerous cities and villages. Russia is not two cities, it is hundreds of thousands of small towns, villages and stations. The climatic and geographical features of the country make roads arteries that will unite people into a single people.
In the film, GG goes home and predictably doesn't come. It is a characteristic feature that a hero cannot return home because he does not have a home. Endless roads that lead nowhere. The impassability and off-road symbolizes the defeat of the best manifestations of the Russian soul. No matter how beautiful the goals may be, the people cannot achieve them, because they will be stuck in a swamp of bureaucratic procrastination, human indifference, distrust and envy.
The indifference of the authorities and their representatives to someone else’s trouble is particularly felt. There are no cars to save a child. It is important to deliver several tons of vegetables on time.
What way out? To rely on ourselves and people who have preserved the human in themselves, who want to live in a normal society, and not behind a high fence around devastation. Act on your own! (The One With The Car That Stuck In The Road) And in the end, according to the plan of the Director, will bear fruit.
