On the screen - “Explosive blonde”, where Russians are freaks and sadists

Charlize Bond

1989. Before the fall of the Berlin wall, a few days. On the instructions of Mi-6, a special agent Lorrein arrives in Berlin-stunning, irresistible and inaccessible. A girl with Miss Data Universe should urgently get a list of secret agents of the East and West. Lorrain is forced to work with Hameleon - the Berlin resident David Persivl (James McEva), acting exclusively in his own interests. So the diamond in the crown of the secret intelligence service of Her Majesty Lorrein is alone against the armada of Soviet agents and their brothers, the modest workers of the Stasi. Everyone needs a cherished folder with an invaluable dossier. But what are the emitted Cossacks from the dying USSR against the heel of one of the most beautiful women in the world!

Yes, the Charlize Teron application for the receipt of Bond in the future is convincing (the actress is one of the initiators and producers of the film). In it-charm, melancholy, plastic Fam-Fatal and humor, which, unfortunately, did not use the scriptwriters. Yes

The idea of ​​feminization of agent-007 is worn in the air.

Recently, users of social networks proposed the role of James Bond Actress Gillian Anderson, the star of the mystical series “Secret Materials”. Anderson liked the idea, she already offered to name her heroine Jane Bond and published a poster on the blog with the announcement of the future film.

The “explosive blonde” was shot by the ex-cascading David Litch (John Wick, and the filmmaker “Deadpool 2”). And this explains a lot. Litch dreamed of making a militant in the spirit of John Wick. And in the thriller about the atomic blonde, the main thing is not the sophisticated spy games, but the action itself, the attraction of virtuoso assault and muzzle. In Lara Croft and the Scientists of Evil, lovely girls Mila Jovovich and Angelina Jolie dealt with enemies with the help of machine guns, and the indifferent Lorrein separates the healthy men with his beautiful arms and legs (Theron went through a serious school to chop in an adult battle with personal coaches). However, she really also uses other little things that have fallen by the arm: in addition to the chic scarlet shoes not of a girlish size, skillfully inserts a key into the cheek of a tireless kagebashnik, the other in the throat, the rest simply presses the “Lada”.

The climax is a six -minute scene, shot by an almost single plan: the battle of Lorein with a regiment of ghouls on the stairs and in the apartments of an abandoned Berlin house. Do not even ask who will prevail.

The winning model-spy is all in abrasions, bruises ... But how to say ... exclusively those that even more emphasize its indestructible beauty and sexuality-even now on the cover of a magazine for fighted men. As if the director was guided by the testament of the Gaidaevsky Lelik: "I will beat neatly, but strongly." Partner Lorein, an agent under the cover of David Persival-a kind of Loki: the concentration of cunning, mockery, a double player pretending to be a drink and a womanizer. In his role, James Makeva, habitually squeezing with the eccentric and cloning. Gypsum wears on his hand, because he broke his hand on the set of Split. In the film, gypsum is in a simple way beaten: in the bandage, the Persian hides "bugs".

The film does not solve what to be: a comic book, a serious espionage thriller, a militant with a political lining (Lorein herself tells the whole story during interrogation in the London office of the Mi-6, summing up the traumatic Berlin special operation). The feeling of secondary, temporary puffs and dramatic subsidies does not even make up for “Berlin on the verge of nervous breakdown”. The city in which the usual Ordnung and the ideological focus on the bright tomorrow falls into the abyss of the anarchy. When the wall itself, which separates Berlin, trembles in the tangible shocks of the social earthquake (the film is based on Roman Anthony Jonstad “The Cold City”).

In the soundtrack-an obsessive electronic techno-drill of the 80s. The central musical number is “chuckle horses” by V. Vysotsky. And the most unexpected battle of the unbending blonde is the battle behind the screen on which the “Stalker” of Tarkovsky is going on.

However, why the film is the plot, script, sappress, if Charlize Theron on the screen, according to Esquire, is the sexiest woman in the world. Let it go back and forth, it rolled-rolled-rummages and breaks through the heels of the foreheads of cinema bastards.

By the way, about bastards. Russians (more precisely, Soviet) in the film speak the same broken language as Schwarznegger as a policeman in the "red heat". They look like bandits and obey the bearded sadist Bremovich (Roland Müller). It seems that only for a while settled stereotypes of the Cold War bloom again.

Russians are coming!

Again, the “enemy at the gate”, he is dressed in a pertressive, unprincipled, lying, stooping, mortally dangerous, as in the anti-Soviet series “Rocky” and “Rambo”.

However, to be frank, then in the era of perestroika, and in the 90s (years of friendship with America) the screen continued to support the "danger of Russian threats." In 1987, the series “America” was released worth $ 40 million-about the Soviet occupation of the United States. In the 90s, Bondiana scattered a “golden eye”, frightening the world of the mafia, the secret satellite complex of the Golden Eye, deadly for highly developed countries. Like, be on the alert. Everyone correctly guessed the replaced vector: the threat to the world comes not so much from the transnational terrorist organization Spectrum, but from the Soviet army that broke into the wreckage. In the “crimson tide” Tony Scott Russia, shaking by internal straightforwardness, is terrible and unpredictable. In the “broken arrow” with a trawl and Slater in the post -Soviet republics they sell nuclear warheads. By the way, there are more Russians in the 90s in Hollywood cinema. But among the professions, military, spies, killers, bandits, prostitutes prevail. In extreme cases, the inventors of deadly weapons.

“The Russians are coming! Russians are coming! " - The brilliant satire was called the widespread fear of one -story America Monster Gomosovetikus. The film, shot in the late 60s by Norman Gyuison, is a parody of cinema stamps of the Cold War. The Russian bear in a beaver, a sheepskin coat and a warhead under his arm resolutely opposed the Yankees with a cigar, his legs on the table and the Baltic accent.

Our compatriot Oleg species, who successfully starred in the “red heat”, became one of the inspirers of the American guild “Real Russians”. A group of Russian actors (about thirty people) gathered in it: fighters against the unleashing of the Cold War in the cinema and images of Russian villains.

It did not help. And there is no hope that the “bad accent” in the image of our compatriots will disappear. On the contrary, the screen begins to directly participate in political games, escalating hysteria, participating in propaganda. Even trying to influence politics. A year ago, the BBC showed the English film "Third World War: in the command post." The now fashionable cartoon with “game” inserts, real experts are discussing the hypothetical situation of the conflict of Russia and Latvia, which unfolds according to the “Crimean” scenario. In this “forecast for tomorrow” the confrontation between Russia and NATO leads to the need to use tactical nuclear weapons.

And this year, a series was released, shot according to the original idea of ​​the famous author of the detective novels of the Nesba “occupied”-the joint production of Norway and the Franco-Germanic Arte. In fact, this is a continuation of America. In the near future, Russia, with the approval of the European Union, invades Norway. The official reason for the occupation is the restoration of uninterrupted supply of oil and gas to Europe. Actual, isn't it? In the final, it is the Russian ambassador of Sidorov (Ingeborg Dapkunaite) that reports the inevitability of a full -fledged war. The final is open.
