How do we equip Russia? This issue is resolved not in the silence of the writer's office, but in the thick of the fight. The shell exploded on the right - and we think who sold his homeland. To the left, someone's body broke up into fragments-and we are already sad about the glass of vodka about the glass of vodka about the glass of vodka.
Such is the film “The Invincible”, which recently appeared to our viewer, is a patriotic action movie with elements of political discussion. He kills two birds with one stone: there is a discharge aggression, and there is a reason to think about the fate of Russia. The film raises the question: what is better - the predatory power of capital or the omnipotence of special services? The choice, frankly, is not rich. But the film bribes this naive directness.
Here, as expected, one runs away, the other is catching up. The Khrenev special services agent catch up with Mikhail Efimovich Shering, a former assistant to the omnipotal oligarch. Getting a blow to the liver and a bullet in the leg, the runaway rich hisses in the face of the agent about the "rotten spy kingdom." The agent retorts: "After your creation in the country, there is nothing to destroy."
In a word, one is a smart, intelligent, rich in the pro -Chindic. The other is strong and honest, but it is painful for reprisal. Well, if he undertakes to equip Russia ...
Who to rely on? Who to believe? Surrender to cynical capital or honest straightforward power?
The homeland does not know. With such as agent Kremnev, the original Russian female skills are not needed - to stop the horse at a gallop, enter the hot hut ... But it will beat it if it is laughing. And it’s not inclined to think globally. Mikhail Efimovich is intellectual, rich and courteous. But it is painfully unreliable and disgusting on his mind. This is how two ways to develop Russia are represented. What to do, as they say?
But God is with him, with a decision. It is difficult. Better look at what unbearable beauty accompanies the torment of choice: here is a beautiful woman under fire leads a boat to victory. It turns out that the fate of the country is not only in the strong male hands of the protagonist, but also in these - breathtakingly beautiful - female legs. Here is a shootout against the background of the sea - screams, corpses, and all of ours are alive. Here is a familiar frame for all gangster films: steadily impending, self -confident, clamped black boots. Here is the sauna - and everything that is attached to it ...
You look at everything at this, rest your soul, and then again the supporter of the oligarchy and the representative of the special services about the future of the homeland will be bought by the discussion. The agent is the capitalist: "That's because they admired the carrion - they trampled the country into shit." The capitalist is the agent: “And you first build schools, then you will not like the children who go there, and you will begin to build prisons for them. And soon there will be more prisons than schools. ”
And again the flour of the choice. So, decide the country: you will go to the left - there are unprincipled rich, sharks with an intelligent look. To the right are strong and honest, but how they will begin to save the homeland, they will break so many firewood and bones, they will demolish so many goals ...
About modern cinema, they are increasingly saying: that film is shot by order, this one is by order. Orthodoxy was ordered here, there is autocracy, here is a nation. But there are films made by order of the collective unconscious. “Invincible” - from them. From this muscular, aggressive film, it blows confusion. The accents are not placed, the answers are not given. Who is a friend, who is the enemy - God news! In a highly artistic film, such ambiguity could be reckoned with advantages. But in the so -called cinema for everyone, this ambiguity is more likely to indicate what is happening today in the minds of creative workers and spectators, that is, our fellow citizens.
Here are two heroes, two very high -quality men. Two roads, two paths. And absolute confusion - where to go and with whom. Because both are worse. Although both are good.
