A bell you didn't hear. Correcting the synopsis - our journalist just works in Washington, D.C., without making any TV movie. The whole mini-series is his account of what is happening in the world of reporters accredited to ... here is no certainty - in general somewhere in Washington, near the rulers of the world that. The authors perfectly show the various ways of development of the destinies of the members of this press club. More precisely, how politics affects them, permeating their being. Each of the characters in a different, according to the thoughtful nature, reacts to this invasion gradually. The Soviet journalist records this, being in the thick of events, but still more distant, because the events described only indirectly concerned our country.
The authors created a whole plot, where everything is in its place and develops according to the logic set by them. There are journalists with different opinions. There are reinforced concrete dogmas and demagogues. There are those who express their oppositional opinion indirectly. There are careerists. But in the apt expression of one of the characters in the United States, you can only be a crusader on the general line, otherwise you're a weirdo - Don Quixote and end up the same. So the characters end up corresponding to their own degree of quixoticism - someone "suicide", someone honorary exile to Europe, someone continues to be approved from above to portray themselves as the independence of the press. Mirok turned out to be diverse and added a little conspiracy theory (as the Soviet man loved secrets!), intelligent pickings of its members, reminiscent of the communication of scientific workers from NIICHAVO, plus copious insertions of docs. shots and attempts to depict commercials we get quite a watchable product.
How much he corresponded to reality is unclear - judging by the attempts to reproduce advertising, it is not much.
If the depth of analysis of the predicted future is very realistic. Here and strong passions boiling in American Negroes, for the time being restrained. There was a prediction about our country. Also, the reality of the show can be judged if you know that the second author of the script, not listed on the KIPO page, was an international journalist Mikhail Rachyanovich Saghatelyan, who really worked in Washington for 6 years as an APN reporter.
It was there that he probably heard outright self-destructive calls for a frontal attack on the “cancerous global tumor – communism” and the much more dangerous, as we know from the recent history of our country, neo-colonial actions aimed at further enriching the United States – making the reds more and more pink, gradually absorbing them, recalibrating them to their own way. There are a lot of such people among the Reds now. This was noticed in 1972, almost 20 years before the disaster! From where, knowing the opinions of both “hawks” and “absorbers” about the destruction of their country, the authors of the film give birth to the final maxim about the “mutual coexistence of two systems”. This gap in formal logic is the opposite conclusion from meaningful data. Or is this irrational belief in “people” or “people”? Belief in their change based on their own limited circle of communication.
