Adventurers

A person who lives in other people's apartments is invariably trying to marry the good -hearted owners. It was a matter, one elderly relative recommended that Slovekin's daughter: "A good girl. You know, just excellent." They celebrated someone's anniversary, which is why I was more accommodating ever. We agreed to meet tomorrow.

To my surprise, after half an hour, for no apparent reason, the newly -minted matchmaker changed the point of view. “To be honest,” I whispered confidentially in the ear, “I do not advise you. God save you!” That is, how is it? Did the absent girl manage to compromise so during a completely moderate feast during a completely moderate feast?!

However, the next morning paradoxically began with such a life -affirming call: "What, man, will you call Tanya? Good. Just excellent. Write down the number, dial!" The guy, meanwhile, guessed that Tanya was no worse and no better than others. Tanka like Tanka, what is. Who are you with, Tanka? Be happy, Tanka! In short, the following happened: having shown a agility that was not characteristic of his age, the relative jumped from the territory of everyday life into other things. Why I identified with young and free and, psychologically realized in my social body, went towards the adventure . His throws from the extreme to the extreme, which causes inconsistency, his forgetful adventurism discovered cunning role behavior, an unconscious, one -way game. I was unambiguously used! In horror, he fled to his native hostel, where, in revenge to intrusive circumstances, he lived for two months with the first whore. Whore, but its own, own! The choice is not the best, but free, not someone else. It all ended with headache, troubles, but I did not grumble: the adventure in the first category, as expected!

Somewhere nearby, the classic of sociological science of z . To begin with, Z. noted that the adventure phenomenon is the form that is as if intended for erotic content, and, therefore, "adventures do not correspond to the lifestyle of old people." However, the matter, according to Z., is by no means that these people are not able to ensure the content side of the adventure. The content in itself is secondary: overcoming danger, possession of a woman, amazing win or loss - this and much more must not be an adventure. It becomes such only due to the known tension of life feeling: "If the special coloring, temperature and rhythm of the life process become truly decisive, sounding stronger than the content of this process, the event turns from a simple experience into an adventure. This principle of emphasis is not characteristic of old age."

And further: “Just as for a genuine player, the decisive motive is not a win at all, but the game as such, the power of the feelings to despair and back of feelings, as if tangible proximity of demonic forces, making its decision in favor of one or the other, and the charm of adventure in countless cases is not at all the content, which, if it were proposed in a different form, would not have attracted our attention, but the adventure form His experiences, the intensity and tension with which it allows us to feel life, which brings you up youth and adventure.

The classic completes the analysis of the derivatives verdict: "The old adventurer seems disgusting to us. It is easy to derive the essence of the adventure from the fact that this is not characteristic of old age." And what is characteristic? Here: "contemplation" , "objective weighing" , "freedom from anxiety of life in the present." Now I'm rather middle-aged. I confirm: "Anxiety" is less attractive. I freely hang around the TV, weigify, contemplate.

I periodically sit on the "stars factory" .

"Factory of Stars" is the most competent project in our TV, and this is understandable: a license, someone else's. They themselves are not capable of anything. The most curious in our "factory" is not the notorious "creativity", not conflicts inside young animals, but hidden, only an attentive viewer, the relationship of young "semi -finished products" with adults: invited stars, teachers, producers. It is worth it to follow how adults connect to someone else's life process and, like malicious vampires, select, suck energy, transformed, young!

The "stars factory" inadvertently simulated the sociopsychological situation in the country. Professors , who overturned the country into the abyss, but did not abandon any late Soviet privilege "elders" teach, teach and teach the so -called younger ones. And, having eaten the last crumbs from the post -Soviet table, blocking the social realization of children with grandchildren, they start an unscrupulous role -playing game. Assign the very idea of ​​adventure. Steal "tension of life feeling."

In the multifaceted picture "Brother-2" the eldest smelled Balabanov well. Unfortunately, the notorious elders scolded the picture for much more, just not for this: they are so insensitive to the intercoral problem that they did not notice the most offensive sarcasm addressed to them. Opponents of the film defended America, defended the results of privatization, large business and political correctness, all that Danila and his comrades encroached on. Few read the starting episode of the picture.

Meanwhile, the episode is good. The older brother , a former policeman performed by Sukhorukov , is drunk in the Rasyskaya outback. The youngest , performed by Bodrov , socially grew up, turned into a TV star and now tears his rusted mother from the screen. The compassionate post -Soviet pensioner reproaches Sukhorukova: they say, look, while you drink shamelessly, your brother flaunts in the light of Sofites, realizes his best qualities. Hero!

And what are the such "best qualities" have a hero? The guy soaked half of the gangster in St. Petersburg, and now it pursues the same very policy of point extermination in Moscow. I wish the pensioner to ask how much social success was won! But no, this is not in her rules, not in her interests. Strange "senior", without measure, corrupted by the "scoop", in the most terrible and inadvertible place readily close their eyes and shut their ears. I don’t see anything, I don’t hear anything, I will not tell anyone!

All further time of the paintings of Balabanov is witty as the implementation of the "covenant of the fathers", that is, mother-sisters. The brothers united in the gang secretly, far from television, exterminate Russians, Chechens, Americans. In fact, fulfilling the social order of the godfather , a pensioner, God's dandelion. The adventures of the bandits of the sons are inspired by it, but the color, temperature and rhythm of their life process are stolen!

Only properly determining the protagonist, it is possible to correctly consider the content of the film. Suppose, an unconditional Danish masterpiece , the "reconstruction" of Christopher the battle and, as indicated in the credits, "company". Here is the initial alignment of forces: the famous elderly writer with a beauty wife, a brutal young man with his lover, only four. The writer is famous, but tired of life. Beauty wife meets a young man on the street, and then spends a delightful night with him in bed.

Freshly baked lovers hope to continue the adventure, plan to go to the eternal city of Rome. However, the writer who accidentally learned about treason requires leaving home (and here he is on a business trip). Meanwhile, the young man finds a note of his beloved in his pocket: "I love you." Trying to find a girl, ask for forgiveness for treason and say goodbye. But the beloved does not recognize him. Then the guy rushes to his someone else's wife, but now this, someone else's wife, yesterday’s mistress does not recognize him! In addition, it is not known where his own apartment disappears: at the site of the front door, some fire hatch, and the neighbor from below sees him for the first time ...

To identify, as the main and only hero of the film, an elderly writer, as everything becomes in place. "Christopher the battle and the company" build a narrative as the realization of the writer's fantasy, as a film adaptation of his spontaneous plot constructions. "Reconstruction" is suitable as an exemplary illustration for the conclusions of the classic of sociology Z. This film tells not about male and female, as it might seem, but about the conflict of the same age with another. The Western culture attentive to the human culture represented by sociologist Z. or director B. knows well how much this conflict is productive, problematic, unresolved. In the long -standing domestic picture of Khutsiev , "Ilyich's outpost" was a dead father for a young man. A living corpse and a young man spoke, easily reached a consensus: an incomparable soviet falsehood .

The playwright Sh. The bloody horrors of his popular play “ Hamlet ” (by the way, another illustration for Z.) were provoked by the demanding living corpse of his father, which, like every living , eager to participate in the adventure (the quintessence of life!), Buditing, but is not able to ensure the appropriate tension of the life feeling. That is why, like a godmother from a Balaban "brother", he requires from a young Danish prince - revenge, blood, actions and, most importantly, the maximum internal stress! And you thought the notorious "Hamlet" - what?! The formula "The connection of the times" has broken up "denotes an indefinite border between the psychological capabilities of old age and youth.

Exactly the same thing happens in a wonderful Danish picture of our days, the elderly hero of which reconstructs this very “tension of feeling” , as if forcing “young” to live and love to the limit . Up to loss of memory, common sense, orientation in space. It seems that the same actress plays both heroines, and this is wonderful! Not distinguishing faces, irrationally changing a beautiful woman exactly the same and “meaninglessly” by a young man, who is mercilessly, trifles the very idea of ​​“content”, such an expensive heart of a wise writer! That is why, despite all the efforts and professionalism of the latter, the plot of its story, and therefore the plot of the film as a whole, does not develop. The "reconstruction" ends the same way as it began. The author’s voice recalls that all this is a fantasy, “just a movie” , that the hero is not real, a plot unit. The author’s voice with bitterness adds: "But it still hurts ."

The notorious “pain”, a real experience, distinguishable before, after and in addition to “content”, is that sufficient category that makes a possible psychological connection of the old hero, his young embodiment and cynical viewer, a screen in the company with popcorn, a bottle of beer and a specific friend.
