To say he raped her is like accusing a man of stealing from himself. In many societies, women were simply the property of a man, father, husband or brother. In many laws, rape is a property crime, meaning that the victim is not the one who was raped, but the person to whom it belongs. Accordingly, justice was restored through compensation for property damage: the rapist paid the father or brother of the woman a ransom for the bride and took her to himself. 39 If any one meets an unbetrothed maiden and seizes her and lies with her and finds them, he who lies with her shall give her father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife. . . ' (Deut. 22:28-29). From the point of view of the ancient Jews, this was a reasonable way to settle the matter. ('Sapiens. A Brief History of Humanity' Harari Y.N.
It would be nice if this film of domestic production appeared in the local online cinema. At one time, they released 'Happiness', which seemed to like a huge audience of the service. Why ' Wouldn't it be nice '? Because 'Tradition' or 'D?p' also demonstrates the unsightly side of the relationship between a man and a woman in our Kazakhstan. The problem of violence against women has recently risen to a new level in the country, so it would be nice to pay attention to this through the cinema.
In general, the first half of the film, before the desperate bride runs away from the wedding, we liked much more than the second entertainment part. We saw a real social drama about how in a village with the mocking name Bolashak (Future) there is a local young authority who is stupidly burning his life. It does not work, does not set goals for itself, does not strive for spiritual maturity. And energy is spent only on collecting money from village boys who really have nowhere to go.
Try to snitch on this major, so respected in the district the father will once again remove the beloved child from everything. And if she gets tired of excusing herself, the compassionate mother will turn on her resources to convince her to help. And when it seemed that still can commit a young man, there was a fateful prom evening. The guy liked the local beauty, well-mannered and modest, and after a fair dose of alcohol he wanted love and affection in the middle of the street. And I don’t care about the rejection and protest of the young girl, it’s normal.
In our patriarchal society, men are allowed everything, including rape. At first, the parents of the humiliated poor thing are ready to tear into pieces the strapped bolt, nothing and no one interferes with them, but as emotions subside, with the direct participation of the local akim, who does not need unnecessary noise in his village with a life-affirming name, a peace agreement is reached between the parents of the rapist and his victim. 10 million tenge, wedding organization, everyone is happy, hands are shaken. Curtain.
The head of the family who went on a deal will regret his action later, of course, but you won’t make that much money either. In general, before the eyes of the audience, as Pendalph said, normal civilized life, people kill, rape, rob, even McDonald’s set up. That the film will please us at least a great picture, we understood, seeing the name of the cameraman Azamat Dulatov. It’s strange that this is not mentioned in the film card. We are confident that this is one of the best (if not the best). . .
Operators-directors in our industry in the mass film sector. Shot beautifully, professionally, using popular camera techniques. And the main twist of the whole story is easily read at the moment when the girl runs out of the restaurant. Everything is so obvious, but it does not prevent with interest to watch the other half. And there is already a frank attempt to perform, show horror. It so happened that Kazakh filmmakers have long understood, shoot for small budgets romcoms. . .
Or just adventurous comedies, box office success is assured. With horror and thrillers, of course, this does not work. As South Koreans, they don’t know ours, I have to admit. Suddenly there appears 'D?st?r', the trailer of which arouses cheerful interest. So the attempt is undoubtedly a big plus, but it still failed. And if someone begins to threaten us with violence, we will write that we succeeded, but with a stretch. Most of all the questions are caused by a cool exorcist, which can not be broken. Usually in similar movies. . .
Priests or clergy of other faiths have weaknesses, flaws, obstacles on the way to victory over the evil supernatural, the more interesting. In our film, the imam (the unshakable Terminator) as he began to read suras, never stopped to one incident, which was sucked out of the finger. The feeling that there were many options to finish this fun merry-go-round at the end, and chose the most ridiculous. The ending is definitely smearing. Elements of horror, of course, were present, but their presence alone is not enough.
It didn't get to goosebumps and heart palpitations. I liked the film more than I did not. I was pleased with the authenticity of village life, perfectly used the manner of communication of people in this area, good acting work. If ' Happiness' managed to show the horrors of family life without superfluous fiction, then ' D?st?r' tried to make friends with fiction, but it turned out half cool. Remember, the first half is wonderful. It is not fearful, it is more frightening than what is in life.
Rape of a woman who did not belong to anyone, and was not considered a crime - how to pick up from the ground dropped by unknown people coin is not considered stealing. And the idea that conjugal intercourse can be regarded as rape would seem absurd. The husband had complete power over his wife’s sexuality. To say he raped her is like accusing a man of stealing from himself. And this was not only believed in ancient times - in 2006, 53 countries still had no legal possibility to prosecute a man for raping his wife. Even in Germany, rape laws were only amended in 1997 to include marital rape. ('Sapiens. A Brief History of Humanity & #39, Harari Y.N.
