Hobbit and gods

What films to watch in the New Year holidays? The distributors, thank God, have something to show us-while the Duma from the submission of Medinsky Medinsky has not passed the law that they cherished by their quotas for foreign film products for a long time. Since the holidays in Russia are a tensile concept, we will imagine the best, in our opinion, non -condensed films that go out in the period from January 1 to 15.

"Hobbit: the battle of the five army." Director Peter Jackson, New Zealand - Ssha. Already at the box office

The distributors are not without reason that this film will confidently last in the cinemas for at least a month, just until mid -January. "Hobbit" is a luxurious spectacular film, mainly consisting of grandiose battles. At the same time, he has a clear and reasonable ideology. It is that the authorities corrupt even very good ones-yes, gnomes, but it doesn’t matter-people are still depicting gnomes. Especially if the authorities are accompanied by immense wealth. Then crazy ideas begin to occur to the ruler: that wealth is more expensive than the life of the people, that for the sake of power and wealth it is possible to unleash the war, that any sacrifices on it are justified, that the forest is chopped - chips fly. Then the ruler easily forgets about his promises, about his own word. A serious audience does not seriously refer to the “hobbit” and the early movie trilogy of the same Peter Jackson according to the same Tolkien “Lord of the Rings”. And in vain.

"Exodus: kings and gods." Director Ridley Scott, Great Britain - Ssha - Supreme. At the box office from January 1

One of the most powerful Hollywood directors, Briton Ridley Scott (whose almost as powerful brother Tony, being at the peak of a director's career, committed suicide) made a picture about Moses and the outcome of the Jewish people from Egypt. Stunning 3D. Representatives of the young generation were recognized as the author of these lines that they felt the complete immersion in ancient times in the course of viewing (although which of us can judge that time?). Moses depicts one of the best actors of our days, the Oscar-tier 2011 (for the film “Fighter”), the recent Batman: we are talking about Christian Bayle, who became famous at the age of 12 after roles in the “Empire of the Sun” by Stephen Spilberg and-many will be surprised-in the film of Vladimir Grammatikov “Mio, my myo”. It is a pity that the main feat of Moses was not shown in the “outcome”: how for forty years he drove slaves in the desert, so that a generation was left for whom freedom is an unknown substance, and that those who did not know the worship of the overseer be born and mature. However, the audience will see the usual miracles (the sea parted at the behest of Moses) and, perhaps, will appreciate the great gift of God, who gave people the law - tablets.

"John Wick." Directors Chad Stachelski and David Leightch, USA -Kanada - China. At the box office from January 1

During the holidays, all male faces want to at least once see a high -quality action movie. Real. Which you believe. Here you are, please: a film with overseas cinema sites, as it turns out, is still in demand in Hollywood, Keanu Reeves. The hero is avenging. Do you need to add anything else? Add. According to the assurances of the 50-year-old (Lord, how time flies!), Yesterday the young Reeves, he performed almost all the tricks without understudies.

"Big eyes." Director Tim Burton, USA. In a limited box office since January 8, in the wide-from the 15th

It is amazing for film acquaintances, but the cult director of Tim Burton, whose famous paintings cannot be listed, for the first time in a long time made a film without his favorite actors-Johnny Depp and Helena Bonem Carter (Burton's wife and representatives of one of the oldest English aristocratic genera). This is a film about the American artist of the 1950s Margaret Kin: on her canvases, the characters have very, very big eyes. When she marries the artist Walter Kin, he begins to issue her paintings for her, because female painting was unsaturated at that time. Soon, these paintings become expensive. The most interesting thing is that Margaret Kin is alive, and Burton is one of the main collectors of her works. A wise financial and artistic decision: both the film will be perceived with a bang, and the cost of the collection after its premiere will increase ten times.

"Wild stories." Director Damian Sifron, Argentina - Span. At the box office since January 15

Argentine cinema in ladies. Recently received an Oscar for an elegant political and detective drama "Secret in his eyes." It is no coincidence that Pedro Almodovar himself became the producer of the next Argentine hit. “Wild Stories” is the most spectacular film of the last Cannes festival. Almost every scene broke the applause. This is a comedy about human passions, psychological problems and conflicts, consisting of six short stories. In four of them, someone is killed, in two-almost killed. The first short story, where the flight passengers suddenly discover that, although they are not familiar, once dealt with the same loser musician suddenly. It turns out he is a pilot of this aircraft. A kind of comedy Agatha Christie. The last short story is about the wedding. Strange, but the Argentine wedding, it seems, is abruptly Russian. There, in one scammers, as in the recent Russian "stories" Mikhail Segal and "Bitter!" Zhora Kryzhovnikov, it is not a matter.

“Unlivable”, director Angelina Jolie, USA. At the box office since January 15

The fact that Angelina Jolie was smart was clear for a long time. It cannot be argued that she, as a director, conquered Kinomir on the move. But she gradually conquers him, and “inconsistent”, quite possibly, will apply for Oscars. Including because the plot is based on a real fate. This is the story of the American runner Louis Zamperini, who participated in the famous Nazi Olympic Games of 1936 and who liked the Fuhrer himself - he personally shook his hand. And during the Second World War, the main character of the film was in a cruel Japanese captivity - and did not break. Angelina Jolie chooses politically correct and relevant stories for her films, which annoys the true moviegoers that appreciate the cinema.

“Another year”, director Oksana Bychkova, Russia. At the box office since January 15

The amazing modern interpretation of the long-standing (early 1970s) plays of the Soviet classic Alexander Volodin "Do not part with your loved ones." The film about the young married couple, the relationship of which is failing after the girl sets up with a designer in a fashionable media, begins to read completely different books and watch a different movie, and he remains a night bomb. The film was awarded at festivals - from Rotterdam to Kinotavr, however, women are now making half the best paintings: as directors, screenwriters, producers and even operators. The coming to the cinema of women is a global trend in the last decade. But Russia is here ahead of the planet.
