Lunar conspiracy

Today, when Richard Branson is preparing to launch a onlookers on his orbital aircraft into the sky, and so many satellites and experimental military space machines rotate around the Earth that plugs will soon appear there, no one thinks to question the reality of a person’s development of Cosmos. No one except the director of the aesthetics section Nastya Travkina, who tells you about the film "Moonlit Scam".

Almost half a century ago, Neil Armstrong and Bazz Oldrin landed on the moon during the flight of Apollo-11, about the same time came the idea that they had never done this. Today, the film of Antoine Bardo-Jacques and Dina Craig, inspired by the conspiracy theory about the large cosmic fake of the Americans, was released today. For some reason, the Moonwalkers tape was translated as the “Moon Scam”-although if the name is already distorted, it was necessary to entit his “Lunar Conspiracy”, because this is how it is customary to call the story with a fake of the adjustment.

The CIA agent with post-traumatic syndrome after Vietnam receives the task of insured the Apollo mission: because of the race with the USSR, the States are not sure that the mission will get technical power to land on the moon. The agent performed by the brick -like Ron Perlman goes to London to find there a director who one of all on the ground can remove the landing to the moon: Stanley Kubrick, the author of the Space Odyssey 2001. Ron Weasley, Ugh, sorry, Rupert Grint (with his bearded neighbor, remotely similar to Kubrick) passes the way to him. Despite the fact that soon the calendar will pass in the seventies and the era of high-tech and plastic will begin, Johnny is still wearing colorful shirts, bacenbard and works as a manner of a group of nerds with hair, like Robert Plant. And further the question is whether the orangutangangan -like perlman of the red -haired prongel for his swindler will kill - or the liquid -haired hipar will drag the CIA agent into the fairy -tale world of the psychedelic culture slowly going into the past. Of course, the authors choose the most colorful scenario.

The psychedelic choice of the plot is obvious, starting from the titles made in the animated style of the Beatle clips of the period of flying Lucy, where, by the way, an amazing character is found: President Richard Nixon in the pose of the chair Dasha Zhukova, like a rocket, farting fire. To save the situation, the Trinity goes to the king of psychedelia, the avant -garde director with thin hair and a thick belly, renata: a suburban lock of pods, hung with beads, with a sweet vapor and an entrance in the form of an exciting red vagina, looks like a nostalgic explorer. The film even has a classic trip for the song Jefferson Airplane - and this number is made with love, abrasion of any accusations of the authors of the film of banality.

Renat himself is a precisely captured nature of the “brilliant” filmmaker: in addition to the film “Jump”, shot in five years, about how Renat and chicken jump on a trampoline, there are still many professional features for which, apparently, there is no nationality. He is very similar to some beginner artists and with us (only they now cut short and wear black).

I must say that in the American press the film was contemptuously doused with silence, having a small number of negative reviews. Personally, I received a wonderful joyful pleasure from the Moon Scammers, enjoying as if the work of my comrade: a fan of Guy Richie with shootings of English bastards in a dense corridor; fan of Tarantino, whose heroes beat each other under the major classics; A director who is not averse to creating a world corresponding to his fantasies about him.

I don’t know how it goes in Russia, but the Americans were disliked. In addition to the fact that the main heroes of the cums are recognized by film critics not relevant heroes of our time (and you will live my life, American film critics!), The topic is called obsolete and squeamishly wrinkle their nose, as if a dirty sock, not washed from the screen from the time of the Cold War. But it seems to me that the fact is that French production, although united English and American actors, violated the US monopoly laugh at itself. After all, there was a US-British reflection of cosmic paranoia on the screen. The spy -space action movie Capricorn 1, released in 1978, talked about a similar situation, which unfolded against the background of the Mars race: three astronauts are removed in the studio from the cabin of a fake spacecraft, while the real module flies to Mars and breaks down. Well, then about how everyone is trying to kill special services. And all this is extremely serious.

Meanwhile, despite the fact that even Vladimir Putin confirmed the impossibility of falsification of an event of such a scale, the idea of ​​information manipulation of superpower does not give rest to our fellow citizens or the Americans themselves: according to the results of a survey of the All -Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion, 40% of Russians do not believe that the Americans were on the moon. Back in 1975, writer Bill Keising published the book “We have never been on the moon”, and this cart lasts forty years later: Christopher Nolan drew a future in the Interstestellar, in which the McConacha History Textbooks were outdated precisely because the author insists on the reality of landing on the moon.

A year after the Interstellar, the documentary of Patrick Murray, shot by him in 1999 a few days before Stanley Kubrick, was published. In it, Kubrick talks about his work on the project of fake landing on the moon for the American special services, taking a written promise from the documentaryist to publish the film only fifteen years after his death. Here he is.

The film made noise, especially he was glad for the Russian -language segment of the Internet. Pretty quickly the film was exposed as a fake. Soon, additional doubles were found, in which the Kubrika (named Tom) is trained to answer questions. However, as a conspiracymic mockmentation, the film is not even bad and gave rise to an excellent recursive joke in the spirit of Baudrillard: “DID Stanley Kubrick Thice of Stanley Kubrick Admitting to Faking the Moon Landing?” A wave of folk glee met this film and screamed it, raising a very acute question about the ratio of “objective” reality with the reality of the screen. Probably, it is for this reason that such a magnificent genre as mocephmenters, which makes it possible to sculpt plots from the actual story, bordering the performance and having almost a state -owned potential, is not very popular among filmmakers or the audience.

The screen is still tied with the law of expectations, and here the viewer has only two approaches: either we look at the truth, or we look at fiction-these are two perception modes, and when they are mating psyche, apparently threatens some kind of collapse. Watch films in which reality is closely intertwined with fiction is difficult for moral spirit: who wants to fall into paranoid relativism? Meanwhile, if you look at the news, everything continues: the information war, fake landing on other planets, as well as fake tears of presidents of fake democracies. However, here we are still talking about the Cold War and the space race: in essence, this is completely unimportant.

- Science? - Naps! ... I must tell you that we do not want to conquer any space at all. We do not know what to do with other worlds. We do not need other worlds. We need a mirror ... We are in the stupid position of a person who is torn to the goal that he is afraid of, which he does not need. A person needs a person!
