Go and do not sin again. The film is a parable with many Gospel allusions, references to the Lives of Saints and the Christian understanding of disease as the consequences of sin.
A banker is an image of a man in the power of the devil. He is deft, dodgy, unprincipled, ruthless. Power and money, the meaning of his life and his minions. The pleasure and entertainment of the crowd is business. All forms of debauchery are business. Disease is business.
Ivushka is the image of Christ and His followers, saints. Healing the body is meaningless if one lives in sin. A miracle is like a call to wake up and live a new life. A call for moral purification, healing of the soul.
For the bankers “Ivyushki” will always be not just enemies, but mortal enemies. “All who desire to live piously shall be persecuted” (2 Tim.) 2:12).
The disciple of Ivushka is the image of Judas, and of all those who, being near purity and holiness, think of sin. Having let the devil into his soul, he begins to envy, and then hate his teacher, and betrays him.
Mimosa is the image of a sinner who, touching holiness, rushes from the darkness of sin to the light. The healing of the soul does not occur immediately, it is necessary to establish oneself in virtue.
The crowd is the crowd. Yesterday they shouted "Osanna," today they shout "crucify him." In this crowd there are always those who are looking only for bread and circuses. They have their Jews, their Mimosis. Everyone makes their own choices.
It's a good idea, I'd bet 10. But the implementation is about 6. Weak play of supporting actors and extras. However, for the thesis, very, very commendable. Well done, guys. I am very glad that such semantic, original films are being made.
The cast liked the game of Natalia Ivanova (the only work) and Evgeny Potapenko.
