At first glance, we have a paraphrase of "Mozart and Salieri". Andrey Kosarev (S. Martynov), as Salieri really should be, is conscientious, hardworking, eager for fame and recognition, but... alas, he is deprived of the highest inspiration, the ability to express himself in art, his inner world. Mozart — Vladislav Bragin (A. Kurepov). Although not an "idle reveller", but a frivolous person who does not take his vocation seriously. At a crucial moment, when, one might say, his fate is being decided (he must take an exam at the conservatory), Vladik, without hesitation, throws everything, lets down his comrades, teachers and leaves "after the nomadic caravan", that is, the circus.
But don't expect a tragic outcome. The authors dealt with the eternal conflict of diligence and giftedness decisively and simply. It turns out that all of Andrey's troubles stemmed from the fact that he saw music not as a goal, but as a means ("I hate music!" he shouts after learning that he was excluded from the list of applicants for participation in an international competition and thereby deprived of an incentive to study).
Naturally, as soon as Andrey Kosarev corrected himself (the authors generously gave him such an opportunity), his soul revived. He is ready to give it to people and will probably do it through music.
Moreover, Vladislav, who returned to Moscow, as it turns out, also wasted no time in vain. It just seemed that he was aimlessly traveling around the country and frolicking like a bucolic shepherd boy in the bosom of nature.
In fact, at this time there was an active accumulation of life impressions, experience was gained, the result of which was the concerto for two violins written by him in his travels, which he presents to Andrey.
So, everything has come into balance. Difficult issues were resolved easily and simply. Friends remained friends. They are still true to the music. Rita recovered. The young organist found solace in her work and in a trip to England.
What did the viewer get in this case? How did the story enrich him? He, of course, extracted the moral: only by being mentally generous, open, unselfish, you can give something to people.
He saw beautiful faces, magical views of the Crimea, fashionable clothes, exquisite interiors. True, one could say about these beauties in the words of Gogol, referring to Manilov's appearance: "His facial features were not devoid of pleasantness, but this pleasantness seemed to be too much sugar..."
He heard Bach, Pergolesi, Sibelius. That's just the music, perhaps, in the "Concerto for two Violins" a little more than is required even for a movie about musicians. It sometimes just pours from the screen, filling pauses, accompanying dialogues, replacing words.
The busting of bright colors, the overlap of emotions are characteristic of the style of the film. But the pictorial solution does not always correspond to the task at hand.
For example, at the moment when Rita, clutching her heart convulsively, with her face distorted with horror, falls to the ground, there is complete confidence that a tragic finale has come. After all, the director makes the whole world freeze at this moment: cars slow down, passers-by stop, a bird's flight is interrupted in a freeze frame. What is our surprise when it turns out that Rita is alive, is in the hospital, and all this was needed in order to paint a heart attack.
And as a result, behind the prettiness, behind the external effects, behind the attempts to say something significant, life itself was lost with its ill-conceived difficulties, really acute conflicts, sometimes insoluble collisions.
And she was in the frame! Evidence of this is an episode of the performance of a clown girl. Here the circus is seen from a completely unexpected side and filmed not as a farce, an acute alluring spectacle, but softly, lyrically, surprisingly heartfelt.
The authors of the film could have followed this path, but chose another one. are there any fortnite hacks
