The film, which caused me the most positive emotions, is worthy of the highest ratings and will forever remain a pride for all fans of motorsport and especially the KAMAZ-Master team.
From the very beginning of the team’s existence, when KAMAZ-Master was just beginning to participate, with triumph in Wroclaw, the film carefully demonstrates the team’s path to the heights of success. Each stage of this epic struggle is shown with fascinating dramaturgy, allowing the viewer to experience the joys of victories and the tension of fights on the track.
This film took me back to that time, allowing me to experience those emotions. To see a team bravely overcome challenges, overcome themselves and challenge themselves is incredibly inspiring.
The film pays special attention to the details and deeply developed characters of the team members. We see not only the struggle on the track, but also the internal battles, decisions and sacrifices that must be made to reach the heights of sportsmanship.
Every race becomes an emotional experience, every victory is a reason for pride, both for the participants and for us, the spectators. Visual effects and sound take us to the hottest point of the drive, and the workshop allows us to feel the atmosphere of tension before the start.
In conclusion, this film is a true work of art that can inspire, capture and awaken pride in our country and for the outstanding athletes who conquer the top of the world stage. KAMAZ-Master has become not only a symbol of motorsport, but also a symbol of a real spirit of struggle and perseverance. This film will leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all who see it and will inspire new generations to achieve great goals.
No matter how banal it sounds, we have something to be proud of!
I came across the series by accident. On channel ' Match TV' saw one of the last series and wanted to watch everything.
I didn’t expect a great show about our drivers. That’s probably why I liked the series.
In ' Master' there is a little bit of everything: a story about the cool riders of KAMAZ, overcoming technical difficulties, relationships of friends, love triangles, secrets of the past, the machinations of competitors.
But all this is rather superficial, without in-depth analysis and analytics. Therefore, I would not call the film a drama, it is a melodrama in its pure form.
Everything that is directly related to the technical and sports component is filmed so that the Dummies & #39 understand and do not cause feelings of inferiority. But I still had a question: how can you do a job that takes 6 months in 1 month, even if your ex-lover asked you to do it (this is about the history of creating new tires for an updated truck).
The race itself was beautifully shot. It is a pity that this filming is not enough, only one full series. But in life it is like this: competitions are two weeks, and preparation for them is years.
I've read about a lot of stamps. I agree that the stamps in the plot moves, and in the methods used shooting a lot. But the series looks easy.
I’m very glad that the last series is really the last, all the storylines have come to a certain conclusion and it’s less clear what will happen to the characters next. I would also like to note positively that there was no clumsiness of the plot, any acceleration of events in the last series, when it seems that the writers have time and they do not have time to properly tell the story. In ' Master' everyone manages everything.
The artists are good, they play well. I like Petrenko of mature age even more than in my youth.
Strangely enough, for me, the only negative character is the main character of the Sasons. And, probably, because the writers are trying to show us that he is not just bad, and ' wrong'. But we know that a person twice in his life has been deceitful: he abandoned a friend in trouble, cheated on his wife on the second day after the wedding, then we are shown how he deceives the pilot’s seat, derogates from the young navigator of his team, unceremoniously enters the life of his ex-wife. And then we're supposed to believe in his nobility in rescuing his ex-boyfriend's crew in a minefield, or that he's going to be a model father to a 12-year-old son? I'll say it here: 'I don't believe it! People don't change. He who betrays once will do it again.39
The absolute plus for me in such series is the emerging desire to learn more about the events or people on whose stories the series is based. And for this there are documentaries, official websites and other sources of information.
The inscription at the beginning of each episode ' All characters are fictional. Everything ever happened and #39. This does not give reason to be offended by any of the real members of the KAMAZ-master team, as it happened with the film 'Moving up'.
The only obvious fiction is the presence of a woman on the crew. But maybe it's a dream!

Good afternoon. Because of sitting on a sick leave, I decided to watch a novelty of our cinema, dedicated to the famous and one of the most, if not the most titled, motorsport teams - KAMAZ-Master. For me, the topic of sports, especially automotive, has always stood apart and was interesting, regardless of the ratio of fictional-real in the plot. I will not hide the fact that it is preferable that the real was more, but still try to objectively evaluate the films, which are more fictional. I will not be distracted from the main topic.
I'll start with the main story for me. According to the authors of the series, the basis is the events that occurred with the KAMAZ team during its existence. I will not assess how reliable they are shown in the series, because I understand perfectly well that it is beautiful not to lie - you can not tell a story, and in a movie, even based on real events from the world of sports, I consider this acceptable, because it adds entertainment. The main thing is that the vector of events and highlights coincide with reality, and otherwise you can embellish. As for the added fiction, the authors of the script did a very good job here. Added and entertainment, and drama (albeit in places stamps). As for entertainment, very well selected places for shooting, angles, shooting in the cockpit, shooting out and out of order nodes (process). I can’t complain about the result in any way. As for the drama, here, although the authors could not help but use stamps, but in general everything is also good and interesting. In this case, the use of stamps very well fit into the plot. Under the stamps, I mean love triangles, triangles from the series man - beloved woman - favorite work, plots from the series ' clarifying relationships in the present due to conflict in the past' I really liked that there is no one main character in the series, but there is a team, which in principle corresponds to expectations when watching the series about the team. As it should, each of the characters has their own problems, experiences (even if they are not always logically justified, sometimes some of their actions cause misunderstanding on the part of me as a viewer), thoughts and logic of actions (also not always clear, but we are all different people, so we can not be the same in our thoughts and actions). What I would also like to note from the authors of the script is the absence of directly very positive and completely negative characters. Yes, there is a fight with other teams for the championship. But everyone who is at least somehow familiar with the history of motorsport and sports in general, knows that the fight for the championship was never limited to the fight only on the track, it was always outside it, which is certainly a very interesting component of the plot. For this, from my side, the authors of the script also have a plus, i.e. for a very successful attempt to comprehensively study the plot. I did not like the weak elaboration of the characters of the team's competitors, but perhaps this is the idea of the authors to create intrigue in the viewer, the meaning of which is that in reality we also do not know what our enemies are up to, if they can be called that. That is why their actions come as surprises to us, and how often they happen depends on our ability to calculate situations.
I guess that's the story. In terms of cast, I have no complaints about the authors. For me, all actors meet certain expectations as a spectator. I have great sympathy as a spectator for Anton Vasiliev. In this series, he has a very interesting role, which he entered quite well. Maybe there were flaws, but overall the game is very good. Igor Petrenko also fit well into the role of his character. This character is a kind of businessman who tries to succeed in all his undertakings, but if something goes wrong, he knows how to rearrange priorities in time and get out of the situation with minimal losses, saving face. In some places, this causes negative reactions, in some places, on the contrary, positive ones, but in general, I treat such people in life about the same way. Anatoly Bely also fits very organically into his role as an idealist leader, whose theoretical ideas about how to face the harsh reality of life. The main female role is performed by Linda Lapins, whose play in principle does not cause complaints and claims. The actress very well showed on the screen a strong woman who still wants to feel protected by her beloved man, but persistently tries to prove that she is strong and independent because of her passion to show her weakness. Aristarchus Venes, in my opinion, coped very well with his role as a representative of the son of wealthy parents, who gets into not the simplest life situation and tries to get out of it, saving face. The character of Nikita Pavlenko, although the opposite of the character of Aristarchus Venes, is played quite well. The only person I have any complaints about acting is Makar Zaporozhyesky. The essence of the claims I have boils down to the fact that he is quite constrained on the screen, although he can play much more vividly and vividly, as in the same Youth for example. But in general, the cast is very good, and I want to note that the creators managed to make sure that young actors do not go into the shadows against the background of their more experienced colleagues.
Summing up, I want to say that in general, the series is very good, especially from the point of view that it shows the creative process - the creation of a team, not a crime; very interestingly selected landscapes and locations of shooting, camera work and the cast also deserve high marks, i.e. there is no feeling that something is missing, or something in excess and eye callus.

Bambarbia-Kirgudu 2.0 or Tatar unisex from Bondarchuk
We have all heard that Russia has not made a good movie since the late 80s, when at the fifth Congress of the Union of Cinematographers of the USSR in 1986, the creators collectively destroyed their President Sergey Bondarchuk and abolished the arts Council. It was then that all our Soviet Fellini and Bergmans received complete freedom to create without the totalitarian yoke of the Party’s all-seeing eye. From this moment on, we have a happy opportunity to enjoy masterpieces of late Soviet and later Russian cinema. For 35 years now, we have been weary of the burden of choosing between the new Fate of Man, The Dawns Here Are Quiet, The Slave of Love, or, at worst, The Caucasian Prisoner. We regularly take Oscars and golden branches of Cannes, our directors and actors are known all over the world, and Hollywood dreams of getting the lead role in a couple to DiCaprio Anna Mikhalkov, and to Penelope Cruz – Sasha Petrova. Mosfilm will soon be renamed New Hollywood and Hollywood will be renamed Old Mosfilm. Collections of our films have long broken the billion mark, supplanting “Titanic” and “Avatar”.
So now we were happy with a new film masterpiece from the country’s leading film producer Fyodor Bondarchuk about our famous racing drivers. The country needed its worthy answer with the brilliant Race and the powerful Ford v Ferrari, especially since we really have something to answer. Our kamasists are the best racers in the world in their class, and this is what it was necessary to show on the screen, creating a deep drama about how in the devastation and lawlessness of the 90s our mighty men forged victories: engineers, locksmiths, racers, managers. Back then, in the 90s, it seemed like a miracle: a country in the wilderness and powder smoke of civil wars flies to hell, and our guys on Dakar tear up the best crews of the world as preschoolers. The film was supposed to be incredible, especially since it was possible to shoot a serial series without shrinking.
So what did we see in 2020? We were tricked. We were offered a more valuable fur: not a Mexican Tushkin, but a Shanghai leopard. Tatar unisex in the version of Bondarchuk. Everything that happens in the film is very similar to the DDT song: “Close your mouth, rip off your hats: boys are scratching down the street.” Close your mouths, rip off your hats: on Dad's Volga boys-majeurs! 6 episodes out of 8 we observe melodramatic games of all sorts of boys-majeure, who will not end puberty, their parents and other people involved in the team "Kamaz Master". We are plunged into a rotten cesspool of cheap multidimensional Russian melodrama with a beaten typical set of relationships between people of all ages: love triangles, trapezoids and other parallelograms, from the vulgarity and stupidity of which the cheekbones are reduced in the second half of the film. It is so bad, stupid, typical, beaten and contrived that watching a movie is only possible with breaks and then out of respect for our race car drivers. Thus, the producer Bondarchuk attracted a female target audience of different ages to his product, because we have few melodramatic series on TV, but films about racing drivers every second.
Actually, auto racing is present in series 1 and 8, as well as a little smeared over the rest of the film, being the background for sophisticated melodramatic script moves, never seen again in domestic and world cinema. The races were shot very well, and it remains only to regret the missed opportunities: it could turn out a powerful film of 4 episodes about the men of the 90s who pulled Kamaz from the abyss of hell and tore Dakar.
The cherry on the cake is local Tatar nationalism. Big Bai from Tatneft gave money for the film, so in almost every scene of the film there are an abundance of Tatars. They are in the film more than in all Soviet and Russian cinema for 80 years of their existence. Judging by the lack of professionalism, almost all Tatar actors are relatives of the Big Bai or members of its clan. The model of Kazakh modern cinema is almost completely copied, when in the film about the 80s about the Kazakh SSR there is not a single Russian in the frame. Here everything is similar: negative roles are played exclusively by Russians, bad deeds are also done by them. But the Tatars are all presented in a positive light. Yes, they seem to be in second roles, but they really drag the team - the viewer unobtrusively shows it. Tatar national dances are often shown in the film, but there are no Russian dances there. From beautiful angles, the Kazan mosque is often shown, but there are no Orthodox churches for the film. What about reading poems in Tatar? Rarely does a modern Russian film do without it. This is a bambarbia kirgudu 2.0. Tatarstan, dear viewers, is not Russia for you.
As a result, we have another film product from Bondarchuk at once for all target audiences in the style of Tatar unisex with an unobtrusive but distinct nationalist bias. The subject of auto racing is not disclosed.
I’m a fan of 'Blue Armada' so I was looking forward to coming out. Here's what I can say.
No, the film does not pretend to be documentary and authentic. Yes, a person who understands will find a lot of joints and technical inconsistencies. Yes, sometimes the characters behave like juvenile morons (c). But there's nothing we can do about it. Take everything as it is - and you will get a documentary about professionals, absolutely not spectacular and uninteresting to most viewers. I can imagine how hard it cost the writers to link events from the real history of the team and the movie and entertainment & #39; format & #39; characters. And I think they did.
The movie doesn't tell the story of the team. For the story, welcome to the team's YouTube channel, there it is. The series was made to show the general public that we have such people in our country. That Russian sport is not only footballers-debauchers and the Olympic team under a white capitulation flag. And in technological sports, we also know how, however, with an eye to the Russian flavor - this is not a jewelry F1, but raids on 10-ton monsters on endless deserts, mountain rocky roads, and sometimes even on minefields.
And if after watching a person goes to the network to learn more about them, as described in the review above, then the series is not in vain.
After watching, there is dissatisfaction. It was always interesting to learn more about the team 'KAMAZ' and in general about rally raids and this picture was very high hopes.
Unfortunately, 90% of what I would like to see is shown in the last series: beautiful shooting of competitions, teamwork, danger, etc.
Most of the series about relationships between people who are not fully disclosed, and the relationship of the son of a commercial director with girls, an accident, etc., generally stand out, occupying an obscenely large amount of ' airtime'.
The topic of the team’s work is not sufficiently disclosed, and the moment when the difficulties of transferring the engine, in accordance with the new regulations, are actually solved through bed, after which new tires are born in a month. . .
Summarizing the above, you can look, but if you are interested in motorsport component, you will be disappointed.
I watched the full season of this series. I want to express my deepest respect to the authors and creators of this beautiful film. I may not be an expert in camera photography, and not a great expert in the intricacies of design and construction of series, but... At the level of sensations and perception, this is a very high-quality series, I hope not mini, because not all the lines of the main characters are finished, everything hung in the middle of a word, and I would like everything to be brought to logical conclusion. I hope there is a second season.
The film itself:
I have never seen such a great and patriotic film, when you are happy and proud of what is in our country. Thank you to the authors at least for the fact that I like the last noob climbed into Wikipedia to read about the successes ' Blue Fury' and once again surprised and surprised that things are exactly as shown in the series. There is no prophet in his country, as the Bible says, and that is true. And it’s good that they began to shoot not dull shit about Russia, but such great TV series. About strength of mind, about achievements in sports and technology, about real people. As the credits say: 'All characters are fictional, all events have happened in one way or another' This brings everything to a new level of perception.
The actors are impeccable, the shooting, the drama, the pathos of the presentation ... everything is at the highest level. I recommend it to everyone. And more shows like that. I am looking forward to it and I hope to continue.
