A movie for your bathy. Your father is no longer a boy, is poorly oriented in the modern agenda and does not keep up with the dynamic narrative of modern action films? He is forced to watch TNT and TV series about the police, because Hollywood does not want to make a movie for those who are over 50, and “Love” Haneke and other arthouse about those who survived, for him too gloomy, because the Bati and his problems enough? Then buy for Bati the fourth part of the adventures of Crocodile Dundee, which recently appeared online with a Russian translation. You can watch it yourself. And if you do not understand something there, ask your father, he will explain.
First of all, the bate will surely be pleased to meet his old friend from the 80s. Today, perhaps, it is difficult to imagine, but once simple, but cute Dundee nicknamed Crocodile (1986) and Crocodile Dundee 2 (1988) were leaders of the Soviet and world box office. And Paul Hogan, who invented and played Dundee, is the most popular Australian on Earth. By the way, it is old Hogan, not Dundee, the main character of the new film. The actor plays himself - yes, the reception is not new. So what? I don't know about that.
Second, get ready - five times in a movie dad will probably exclaim: "Oh, this is this one!" We don’t know what your dad watched when he was young except Dundee, but he’ll remember either John Cleese of Monty Python, or Wayne Knight of Space Jam and Jurassic Park, or Chevy Chase of Golf Club, or Reginald VelJohnson of Die Hard and the first Dundee. Or all of them. Of course, there will be many jokes that you will never understand if you have not seen the previous films three or four times. Don't worry, it's normal. The main thing is that Dad will appreciate the scene with a punitive can and a glam-sleep with a musical about the largest knife.
Third, Dundee in Hollywood curiously approached the subject of a man on the threshold of eternity. In his eighties-plus Paul Hogan is equally up to the ball of honor (the Queen wants to make him a knight, but he is too lazy to fly to London) and criticism, which he constantly runs into, then uttering something wrong about blacks, then accidentally bulleted a can of beer into an elderly nun. But it is not up to his manager - a young woman, the daughter of a late friend. For her, Hogan tries to behave as he should. It turns out that old age is, whether you like it or not, a life for the sake of others, because you do not want it for yourself, and no matter how hard you try, everything will never be the same as forty years ago. But you're still good in your own way, you're cute and funny, and someone needs you. Perhaps it is important to remember this now.
Fourth, it’s time for Bati to take a tour of #MeToo, #blacklivesmatter and other 21st century inventions. Separately, we will dwell on how the film shows the mechanism of the cancellation culture. Whenever Hogan shoals, he doesn't do it on purpose - he's not a racist, a bully or a scuffler. He's just an old, a little confused uncle, and of course he's not used to following the language to the extent that he has to do it today. Alas, from the outside, his behavior looks malicious - but from the outside, everything is always ruder and simpler. And instead of trying to figure out what really forces the elderly person to act in an unsympathetic way, whether there was a mistake, etc., he is in a hurry to send to the bath. It's not fun because you care about him like you care about your own. Paul Hogan here is such a collective variation on the theme of bati. Yes, he is not perfect, it is difficult for him to be correct and correct and delve into all kinds of modern nuances. But he is harmless and usually wants the best. Maybe we should feel sorry for him and let him live as he wants.
Unfortunately, in the fourth Dundee not everything is twisted and brought to mind to the extent that I would like. Sometimes, in order to get pleasure from watching, you have to independently speculate what this or that scene could be under a more favorable set of circumstances, and sometimes resort to the services of an internal editor, cutting off what was not too successful. But anyway, the new film turned out better than the third part of Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001). Well, what's there, it's just nice (not everyone, of course, but it's a matter of taste) to watch how the old eighties show their own, sometimes damp, but still acting gunpowder. And this is their ninth decade. And your father must be very young in the background - just a guy somewhere! ?
