I am always amazed at Nagiyev’s talent. From him you always expect tons of fun and jokes. I don’t know what this has to do with film, it’s probably an unconscious past. Or maybe his permanent partner Sychev, against which Dmitry Vladimirovich is just an Oscar-winning winner.
But one way or another, each of his new work makes him immerse himself and think. And Egor Andreevich, undoubtedly his directorial presence and talent, does not even allow us to doubt that somehow it will be different.
We have a lot of characters and storylines before us. And they all add up to one question, which the captain expected when he returned home. He hasn't been home in 10 years. And as the song--' hey, sailor, you've been swimming too long. And you have been forgotten & #39;
A wife and a child living with someone else’s dad, the former himself, or a friend, or a partner who left his family, are just surrounding. It is not clear why they should adapt to the hero, to his manners. He is dressed strangely and carries a spear. He speaks some bird language. He only thinks in ways he can understand. But perhaps it was destined that the hero gradually socialized. Oh, my God, that's a word. And his family returned to him, despite the efforts of a business partner, to leave everything as it is.
A little naive. But it is.
Against the background of chewing snails, flowers and napkins Nagiyev unfolds a real drama: Maxim Lagashkin is wary of rejoicing, grinning bitterly, uncertainly explained in love, indignant, frightened, plots, gets in the nose, worries for a friend, fights for the family and adequately accepts the inevitable, directly participating in the eternal Russian problem: who is the one who by blood, or the one who raised (by the way, see ' Bitter 2' ).
Nearby Maria Mironova, for whose heart the best seamans of the city beat, selflessly plays a boring woman slightly over forty with a child from her first marriage, who will cook borscht, and goats will be afraid, and she waited for five years until she came out for a close friend of her ex-husband.
Almost in the role of himself drinks beer, rejoices in the falls of cyclists and builds a boat wonderful Fedor Dobronravov.
A little further away languishes sophisticated Christina Babushkina, unable to resist the primitive male principle.
From the outside, all this is observed by the future Russian superstar Mira Malakhova, who, like no one knows how to be surprised with one glance at what kind of game (adults) are created by others (by the way, see ' Irrality').
P.S. And game, of course, they create, especially at the beginning, where Nagiyev jumps on the pier in a skirt of straw, and at the end, where the entire film crew clumsily fussing in the warehouse among the burning racks.
Debilitation of modern viewers through online cinemas is growing both in Russia and in the world.
Director Egor Konchalovsky directed the drama. Not just a drama, but a drama in which the alpha male of modern Russian show business Dmitry Nagiyev starred. His image of an African leader says: “Debilitation of modern viewers through online cinemas is growing not only in Russia, but throughout the world.” The leader performed by Nagiyev says: “What the word “love” can explain “want”, “spread your legs”, “feed”, “give up a full life and go serve me” and similar stereotypes (such as “if a man says “love”, a woman should throw everything at his feet, surrender and ask for self-sacrifice). For some reason, cultural people (and such people still live in Russia) believe that a woman should be an honest giver all her life. And a woman who uses her charms and sexual malleability to get her whims from powerful and wealthy men. Cultivated people are called modestly “depraved lady”. Zina (she plays Maria Mironova) married a wealthy man, raising a son in prosperity. And then the former (played by Nagiyev) appears and the word “love” wants to destroy everything.
The film is very philosophical. Director Egor Konchalovsky explains: “The so-called middle class, for whom it is normal to spend $5,000 for shoes, landed with anti-Russian sanctions.” And now they understand that it is necessary to somehow communicate with people behind the Moscow Ring Road with the simple words “love”, “family”, “decency”, “alimony”. After watching this picture, I came to the terrifying conclusion for myself: “The so-called ‘truth’ does no good to anyone.” This “truth” can destroy the comfort of the middle class, but it will not give anything in return.
I really liked the actor Lagashkin (he plays the mayor and husband of Zina). His role explains: "A person's comfort hides his shortcomings and saves him from age-related loneliness." And Captain Petrov, and Mayor Vladimir, and his wife are trying to guess the future with the word “love”.
I don't know, "Why is the mayor (played by Lagashkin) considered a negative hero?" Why take everything from life and buy your wife expensive clothes is bad, it is corruption, it is condemned? The movie is boring.
A summer comedy like that. The film is light and even funny. Nagiyev can play when he wants to. And in this picture it looked just organically rare.
Thank you to the creators of this film, first of all, for the lack of vulgar jokes in it. Yeah, that was half a joke. That's it. And then simple humor, but without the now fashionable dirt. Mironov and Madianov also played very well. Kids... not bad.
But still this film is first and foremost Nagiev himself. It's his benefit. And he turned around in full swing! The image of a former captain who became the leader of savages and returned home ten years later.
This film does not require high drama and brilliant play. You just have to watch. Like children. Remember the same Bingo Bongo with A. Chilentano! Here we see a charismatic bald man with a spear and the desire to reassemble the puzzle of his life. Including - to establish relations with his ex-wife and grown up without his teenage son.
To be honest, I expected a lot of the worst. It was a good summer comedy. With dancing, throwing spears and fighting with a group of villains. Yeah, even that. And all this looks good, like good old comedies from the past century.
Anyway, I liked it. There is a positive here and it is very, very good!
To begin with, the age is 6+. Why? We need to raise more money from all age groups. It is unclear who the script is designed for. Like Papuas for children aged 8, but the script itself sometimes pulls for 16+. Good that there are no murders and phrases ' I will stab you '.
Estimate - constant tension and shouting 'Misha, do not go there', some constant skirmishes, quarrels ... Secondary heroes promote alcohol and drink beer (and what is stronger) without hiding.
Papuas 'I want to make love to this woman'...without comment.
Melkom - the wife of a missing Papuan sailor says to the current husband ' you don't forget to return alimony to me' - this is generally why children from 6 years old? According to the script, it doesn't even fit. I guess I had time to fill it with phrases.
The general impression is stupid ' comedy' where there is nowhere to laugh at all. Nagiyeva is pathetic, as it does not belong at all.
This summer, the Russian film industry, like a cornucopia, began to shoot films for children. And if ' Artek' suddenly turned out to be more than good for many, then what will offer a comedy with Nagiyev in the title role, where the main character, having suffered a shipwreck, was on a wild island, received amnesia, survived there for 10 years and now, by chance, returned to civilization and family, but does not remember anything from his past life.
The plot plot is intriguing and offers a huge set of dynamic plot development with many jokes and funny situations. From which the director Konchalovsky and 2 screenwriters decided ' whatever it is ' - to refuse. Nagiyev is crooked - this will come down to a comedic moment. Otherwise, the filmmakers try to cover everything at once, without having time anywhere. And a love square of 4 sides. And a story of friendship and betrayal. And the problem of fathers and children, complicated by different cultures. As a result, there are many plots, and in one they merge weakly, no story is really revealed and the film turns out to be quite dull, boring and boring. Alas, this time it's not. The film is not recommended for viewing.
