Evil feminists have created a city for themselves.
At first, the promotional campaign of this series was positioned as “the first matriarchal series”. “Interesting,” I thought, looking at the banner on the Internet and decided to see what kind of creation of domestic cinema. Although the name no longer inspires confidence. After reading the description and seeing some men in the directors, it became clear what direction this "masterpiece" will be.
Having watched 6 episodes now (that’s how many have come out so far), I can say with confidence that my expectations have been met. I expected a shameful satire on feminism, and I got it under the sauce of Brave New World, Divergent, The Hunger Games, Mad Max and Black Mirror, only not normal, but a smoker. The show was supposed to have sharp humour mocking matriarchy and feminism, but the jokes are so outdated and not funny, as if they were taken from an old collection of jokes category G, which was lying in a dusty chest in the attic. Therefore, when watching, you just take a deep breath and continue to watch what is happening with sadness. You know what made me laugh? References to modern pop culture. They are so cute that they only make you laugh.
The script, of course, is a separate topic. The technological world of the future, you have smart voice assistants, rings with holograms, health sensors and all sorts of other smart things, but no one can send a photo of a person who goes to them, and a smart voice assistant somehow immediately became very stupid. You start asking these simple questions, and everything collapses.
There is no chemistry between the main characters. Why did they fall in love with each other? What influenced sympathy? That he stabbed a goose in front of her and then saved it from wild men? Thank you, but is this how love and love work?
Sexualization. Your bare breasts will accompany almost every episode. Need or need not, she will. I guess I had to justify the title of the series. This series is accompanied by poses from porn, the mention of porn itself, porn itself, masturbation. Over the tools for masturbation generally built a whole plot. Clothes of women from the most “matriarchal” city, of course, can be represented as a trend of tick-current “how would you dress if men did not exist”, but alas, women here still dress standardly sexualized from the point of view of men.
The political satire is too soft, more like sketches from KVN or Camedi Club, only stretched. Greta Thunberg, who left the mass information space for 1.5-2 years ago, is mentioned intentionally several times. This Swedish girl is just a thorn in the eye of Russian "satirical" cinema.
Over. I don’t understand the meaning of this series. The jokes are outdated, stupid and not funny. And in Russia, where feminism is not very developed, where there are still problems of domestic violence, harassment, rape, and terrible problems with landfills and the environment, this series is not very appropriate.
Several dozen times skipped the advertising of the series in social networks and I decided to look, too.
Literally, the first 5 minutes of the first series already pissed me off, the name of the city, stereotypes about women. Everyone calls each other friends, but at the same time they are ready to pledge each other (a typical stereotype among men about female friendship). Sexualization of girls, when one of the messages of feminism is to be yourself, to accept yourself - everything is like a selection: thin, with standing breasts, protrude at everyone's nipples, in tight clothes.
Despite the fact that in the world of the matriarchy, the so-called guardians of the seed will be blessed and do everything for them, and when the new guardian of the seed comes to the city, everyone greets him with honor and applauds.
The film also “ridicules” the stereotype that feminists want to “ban” sex. This is generally a separate clown, the film focuses on their sex gadgets, they are advertised by the main character, her “girlfriend” tries to discuss them, even her grandmother has her own counterpart from the “oil age”. Sexual desire is not denied, but sex is not allowed.
Yes, I watched with weight all 6 episodes (at the moment there are so many) and the message is absolutely not clear, Rada (the main character) falls in love with one of the “primates” Hera (in the plot he is the most adequate of all the other “primates”), they have feelings of blah blah blah, but what is the message? Is there one normal in a pile of lodlans? A man better than a vibrator? Should there be violence in the world so that we don’t develop much?
For the joke "Sashenka, you are a jeweler" special thanks, still saw this plowing video and understood the reference. And the joke 'Is there porn on the computer?' - Yes, we understand, it's a stereotype that men think only about sex.
For which audience this film was made, it is absolutely not clear, the theme of the matriarchal utopia could be played more interestingly, to come up with more subtle jokes. Once again, it seems that most of the domestic films / series are shot for cattle.
In my opinion, all the elements of the plot are a pathetic parody of humor. Sincere hope for a new confident step of Russian cinema was supplanted by Spanish shame.
Introductory information: in the distant future, most of the men became extinct, the rest “degraded”. We tell the story of the feminist village "two hills" with its unique system of life and law. It's a comedy series.
The series is comedic, but is it really funny: a super-popular presentation of vibrators, a special caste of inseminators, breaks to pee in court, worship of Greta Thunberg, a Swedish eco-activist in a Russian village, ranking depending on the size of the reproductive organ, etc. And this "future" is so bad that I want to cry - it remained in the 90s.
It is not clear what the goal was, because it seems that none of the possible goals were achieved.
The series is filled with low-grade humor, vulgarity, plot holes and vulgarity. Even in the air network of TNT new series can be many times deeper and more interesting.
At the time of viewing, there were only 6 episodes and after changing the rating. In general, the series is shot beautifully, but кfкeкmкiкnкiкzкmк shown by its features repels the perception of the series as a good product. The first series with the story that men are evil and all the problems on the planet because of them, clearly not the best idea was, especially if you know the history of the world not only from the current school curriculum.
There is radicalism and dogmatism in all ideologies and movements, which people on both sides are happy to see ridiculed. Perhaps that is why the South Park is still not settled. Criticism and self-criticism are fun and helpful! But the whole series is a struggle with straw stuffed, that is, images and ideas far from real feminism. If you’re immersed in popular political debates at all, you’ll get bored. So much so that by the end of the first episode, you're going to start looking for a double bottom and you're going to see a meta-irony over sexism: 'Well, no, they wouldn't have done that stupidly and unprofessionally, feminists probably did it to ridicule anti-feminism.' The loss of the main idea of the series does not compensate for either humor or plot - nothing at all. It's such a fun thing.
To make fun of it, you have to understand. Otherwise, the supposed satire turns into masturbation: “That’s how easily we carried their ridiculous ideas! that’s all it is!”, but who are they if you struggle with your own misconceptions? As Maria Nesterenko said in a review of the series, echoing the authors: “It is really easier to degrade than to learn new things.”
Yes, you might think that the genre of comedy can not be strictly treated. Comedy is humor, there are no boundaries. But when you watch this series for some reason you feel only a hint of humor.
From the very beginning of the series, the film is saturated with sexism and discrimination. Girls turn to each other "girlfriends", walk around the house with bare breasts. Men are called 'male'... it's not funny, it's primitive.
The question that arises of itself is why our filmmakers can not do without all this, from excessive vulgarity and vulgarity. Are half of the characters sticking out at the beginning of the Jennifer Aniston-style 'nipples' series fun? Advertising vibrator from the door and talking about let's buy one for two - top creative? Girls don't say that, no matter what age they live. Were the images of mating monkeys also needed in the plot? It still doesn't make you laugh.
At the beginning of the film, it seems that society is divided into women and men. At the same time, women live in a highly advanced technological society, and “rogue” men (although, as it turns out, there are women there) are stuck in the last century, wearing clothes from our time, living marginally. If the authors showed the similarity of technologies, at least functionally, but externally different in appearance and quality, the film would look much better. Technology cannot be so isolated. Two completely different people can invent the same thing, and we know of such examples in history. Make a comedy, make it your style, but don’t make it so implausible.
And yes, about women in the ranks of outcasts. This is a huge omission for the plot and in general the meaning of the idea is lost, comic is lost.
The society of women, technological and advanced, lives without men, has greatly evolved forward. At the same time, there is another society of men and women, which could well exist in the same conditions, without any privations and restraints, but more fully, because it is represented by both sexes, remains backward. Such a society, in theory, should be more numerous, that is, the film completely loses its meaning and looks like there is our society and a small group of women from another planet, which lives on its own. And that's the kind of description I would give after seeing it, not viruses and the apocalypse.
At first, when I saw the trailer, I thought it was another piece of nonsense. However, giving the series a chance, I did not regret it. He is very funny and satiristic, apparently said that the scriptwriters are the same as the recent Vampires of the middle band.
In general, the distant future, almost no one survived, there were women who ennobled the planet, created a completely girly white and fluffy (at first glance) world, with buffoons a la series of “black mirror”, where everyone had a social status that others can raise and lower. As a result, the ideal society of ladies turns out to be the same viper with hypocrisy and set-ups. And I wonder what it was like to live in peace with men.
Some men, by the way, survived and live in megacities, aki savages, or the characters of the mad Max. Epiphanes in their role is simply fire. The line between their dwelling and the ideal settlements of women is divided by a certain field, through which the ladies decide to go only on excursions to look at the savages.
It sounds very ridiculous, but give the series a chance, it is really very funny, and very clearly ridicules Harassment, and female friendship, and men. . All of us, anyway. But the love line leaves us hopeful that the ideal female and squalid male world will still be together.
2140. The North Korean biological attack was supposed to kill men in America. Instead, the virus mutated, decimating large numbers of the male population. Therefore, women who did not grieve for a long time decided to create a small paradise for women, and thanks to science to increase the growth of life expectancy (in other words, to become immortal for 150 years).
Actors: in one of the perfect campsites 'Two hills' (why is that called?) Apparently, repeats the perfect back of a lying woman) lives Rada, a history teacher. She is unhappy and does not know what she wants from life. Even in an ideal world, you cannot be satisfied with everything (for example, the voice of the AI Larisa, replaced by Alice). Therefore, when she meets Hera (named after the Herald from the novel by Sapkowski), she thinks that he is the primate that should be avoided. And at first it will. But then everything will change when she understands what it is worth living for. Pelageya Nevzorova played an ambiguous heroine, thinking according to the rules. But later, the whole truth about the world and history will be revealed.
Only her students are still naive and do not quite assume the danger of the male camp of men who survived, especially Mila.
But the grandmother performed by Jeanne Apple on the contrary for that lifestyle with all hands ' Za' I liked this character with his free will. By the way, I can’t help but mention Gera’s grandfather, who was supposed to remain a modern teenager of the 21st century in the shower. He understands the computer, understands games and you can watch movies with it (although the creators again move the topic of domestic films). It is his hero who tells Hera about true love.
True, at first the hero Nikita Kologrivoy perceives the desired for the actual. Finding himself in a world where such as he is not welcome, he quickly plunges into pleasure. But, he seeks to win the trust of the very beauty, although from such an abundance of women, his eyes will not crawl.
As expected, Svetlana Kamynina will play a kind of antagonist living on both sides of the camp. She hides the truth, which is about to be revealed.
Yes, and of course, without Epifantsev here was not done. His Baron (this is the second series where the hero is called Baron) Why not give a name for a change or a new title? The way he listens with soul to the band ' Nancy' already suggests that he is not an easy defector. Why everyone listens to Vladimir’s hero, because it can explain what others do not know. And Hera's knowledge complements his intelligence.
Everything else: a very bold series put Dmitry Gribanov on the script by Dmitry Krepchuk, Alexei Zuenok, Anatoly Molchanov and other creators of the future sci-fi, though too simple. And many facts about the world of the past are distorted. Even men degenerated to the use of male vibrators. Half went wild, the other became Seed Keepers. The latter, even worse. But how nice to listen ' Gaza ' or songs of the past. Although provocative from the lips of Rakushka (the heroine with a ukulele in her arms) also sings good songs, but the soul rejoices only thanks to nostalgia for the past. Although for many heroes there will be a difficult choice, to return the men home and continue to destroy nature, or to achieve mutual respect and equality of the sexes. This is especially true of technology.
Impressions: the series does too bold action (especially in the first episode, where the girl mistook waving a phallus for a greeting). A hint of pedophilia. Although I do not want to desecrate the glossy reality of the future, which Gribanov created. There is a place for humor, graphics and fantastic campgrounds look like a disappointing future has really come. The fantasy writers unleashed and they made a really easy, uncouth fantastic comedy.
First, it is an original dystopia based on contemporary discourse, literally, from the ship (from posts by Nicky Vodwood (grandmother so simply a parody of her) and other activists on Twitter) to the ball/screen. A lot of small modern details are screened: #metoo, Larisa / Alice, Ilyich, Greta Thunberg Square, lawn for the fifth time, the percentage of acquittals, etc. I don't remember anyone else doing that. All fem-idioms in dialogues are clean and beautifully written. Plus the series is elegant with ' Black Mirror' echoes - social. points, ' Lily 6s', oath on apple: )
Secondly, it does not look offensive to anyone - not to fem-activists, over whom there is plenty and above all ridicule, nor to men, of course. It's the kind of humor when normal. It's like a parody of a celebrity in Camedi that's a sin to resent. Although, I think Maria Kuvshinova will find a problem here.
In addition, Pelageya Nevzorov’s charm is perfect, the male post-plot for comedy is very reliable, plus the Russian soundtrack is perfectly inscribed, almost always in a theme, from Hadn Dudn to the Gaza Strip.
It's great.
