Review of the movie Forbidden Reality. Semantic hallucinations
In three years, people will appear in Moscow who can see the shining snow-white city behind the cluttered metropolis. The forces of evil will begin to test psychotropic weapons of mass destruction and the patience of the warriors of light. The latter will call to the capital from a voluntary exile a first-class agent - "interceptor" named Matvey. But he will have to fight not with criminals and thieves in law, but with hallucinatory muck, reminiscent of the Windows screen saver `` and the Pipeline. '' Do you still want to watch the new opus of the USA saifai, Forbidden Reality? A plot reminiscent of the books by Paolo Coelho performed by the Wachowski brothers gives a hundred points ahead of any other semantic hallucinations, that you have seen in USA cinema. At the same time, it is not the very fact of the desperate stupidity of the script that is striking, but the fact that the movie is based on the novel by Vasily Golovachev `` Smersh-2 '' and it seems that it should answer at least some kind of logic (maybe the point here is that `` 2 ''?). The joke is that the author himself adapted the book for movie adaptation, which gives rise to the suspicion that he is, in principle, a bad plotter. Whatever it was, in Forbidden Reality there is no special meaning, not the slightest bit of coherence and logic – one otherworldly. The meditative media charge of this movie could be praised and credited to the `` author's '' art house, if the movie did not strive so hard to be pop mass. The scriptwriters (Golovachev and Konstantin Maksimov, zero experience in scripts) did not bother to explain elementary things: what kind of Light City, who are its inhabitants, who is Konkere, why is Matvey so unreasonably cool, what is happening on the screen in general and what is the point and "message" in all this? Worse, with an optional plot, an action is required in a spectacular movie – irregular and undercooked. Director Konstantin Maksimov (experience in directing - zero) does not feel the battle drive: the fight in the `` Forbidden Reality '' delivered kosher – with the grace of ballet, but with the aggression and bloodlust of the teddy bear struggle. The slo-mo effect was overkill: it seems that the movie would be one and a half times shorter if all slo-mo were scrolled at normal speed. Jake Pinkman |
