An obscured conscience The main thing is not to change yourself. But Hitler, for example, did not betray himself. Right. He didn't. But millions of Germans cheated on themselves. That's the tragedy. Not that the loner dared to become a conductor of evil, but that millions of others did not dare to take the side of good.
Fowles, J. "The Magi."
There's life. And there's something valuable in life. Beauty, ideals, principles... and the work you do. It doesn’t matter how much you try if you’re just sitting at a reception. But there's a difference. Other people's time depends on your skill. Your smile depends on your mood.
The heroine of the film (cute, modest girl Nadia) seems to understand this. Looking at her is a pleasure. A man does his job, really, as it should be. And we see that.
But the strange world is not so clear. He doesn't see the man and his work. And instead of the well-deserved warmth and admiration for Nada, the world begins to sympathize with her. This is his condescending call: “Change, don’t be like that!” Here's your lipstick, dear, cool - take it, it's the most important thing. Become like all of us!
Will it? Or not? Sold to the world of manicure, flirtation, expensive trinkets? Or will he be himself? And if it remains, what awaits it?
You sit on needles like you ate a suspicious mushroom and wait for it to end. Finally, cutting out the screen under the coming credits, you get up and start thinking about what kind of world we live in and for what.
Maybe, however, the film is not about that at all, and diligently advertises lipstick, which you need to gift a poor stubborn girl. I only talked about my feelings.
It does. No message. Think for yourself.
