In Reply to: It is not all that bad... but cought in between. posted by Victor Khomenko on June 21, 2001 at 19:25:11:
Victor, thanks for the reply and your opinion on the film.I would agree that I probably have limited exposure to films of this type/subject and would appreciate it if you could list some of the others that you feel better handle the subject mater or its presentation.
Your suggestions may not be easily available here but I would most definitely enjoy the search.
Thanks again.
Regards,
John_N
Follow Ups:
www.bestvideo.com has Ballad of a Soldier and Ivan's Childhood.
The general war theme-
Trial on the Road
The Dawns Here Are QuietThe theme of children scarred by war-
The Orphans(one of my all-time favorites)Best of luck finding these. I have no idea where non-Russian speaking film buffs locate these films, but evidently they are able to.
PS-Never mind what "an experienced Russian" will think of Idi i Smotri.:)) It is a good film by any standards.
***Trial on the RoadCould not find any traces of it. Is it by any chance Bitva v puti?
Also - is that Siroty or Sirota? Who made it and when?
Proverka na dorogah
Podranki
Will look. Unfortunately Gubenko is modern age party apparatchik, saw him in Duma... disgusting... I think I saw the Podranki, but not sure.
Like, you know, nobody is perfect. Are you?:)
It is a film, not Gubenko's current political platform you will watch.
How about Takrovksy liked to fuck 13 y.o. boys. Eisenstein too. Got any other heroes?:)
Like yes, I khow. No need to push things too far, though.Director's personal views and experiences may play larger or smaller role in his work, be more or less intrusive depending upon the type of film he does. Gubenko's political views would matter little if he was making a love story. But a story about war is likely to tread on political ground, and there I would approach that with caution.
Kind of like me, for instance, as you put it, fucking 13 y.o. boys would probably mean little for my product designs, but my life spent playing and listening to rock music probably would.
Or take YOUR line of work. Your political views would not mean much to your average patient, but your having strong sadistic inclinations... ouch... doc... easy with that needle...
When Yves Montand made movies with political theme - his views did enter the picture (pun intended)
How about, like, you know, you watch The Orphans first, before going into yet another diatribe about post-Soviet politics, and then tell me if Gubenko's views of year 2001(whatever they may be)are profusely or covertly expressed in his film of 1977 or 79. Like you know what party Tarkovsky would belong to if he were still alive?
So director's sexuality has little to do with the films he/she makes, yet his political affiliation makes the cake? I say boo-hoo and lol(I'm almost positive you will say-"Hold on, I never said that! In fact...").:)
John, I think you should be able to get "The Cranes are Flying", "Ballad of a Soldier" and "Childhood of Ivan". But I have been largely detached from Russian films lately, so perhaps Dmitry could suggest more - as I would have to go too deep into my memory.
