Kids in Love, 2016, Chris Foggin

England, our days. Jack earns extra money by spending social surveys, and is going to enter the law faculty, where his parents almost kick him. Boring life The quiet man changes when he meets Evelyn, a girl from a wealthy family who always has her head in the clouds. So Jack joins the carefree crowd, who spend the whole summer in luxurious mansion Evelyn. “Children in Love” really wants to seem like a spiritual twin to “Skins,” but filmed by Linklater. A story about a carefree pastime during summer holidays- drinking, falling in love, wandering around the city at night. That's just up to popular series the tape does not live up to the coolness, but to the creations cult director– meaningfulness. The person responsible for the script, Sebastian De Sousa, by the way, played one of the key roles in the third generation of “Skins” and, apparently, really wanted to write something in the spirit of a teenage drama. All the archetypes are present: a rebel who goes against her conservative parents, a “not like everyone else” girl trying to forever be stuck in her tender age, a brutal macho who makes money from crime and assures that “we are not like that.” But there is no chemistry between the characters - the love is feigned, the showdown comes down to the banal “he’s an asshole, and I’m handsome” and “we slept together, so what now”, the friendship is also kind of unconvincing - so, parties. It is also characteristic that the film most time is “silent”, but this is not at all for the sake of artistry, the authors simply have nothing to say.

“Children in Love”, review

The silence is filled with frames have a fun life teenagers accompanied by indie rock. Director Chris Foggin comes from the world of short film and clearly still has little understanding of how big cinema works if he takes on such scripts. His film is beautiful and the characters are beautiful until they begin to communicate, demonstrating universal stupidity on the screen. The desire to show near-bohemian youths enraged with fat captivates the creators of the film so much that they simply forget to bring everything to a logical conclusion. The same Linklater always had an idea hidden behind drinking and walks under the moon, but the ending rested on the transitional moment when the holidays give way academic year, and the train takes you from vacation to dull everyday life. The plot ends right there, but this is not an understatement, it is again a lack of words. Lack of ideas. If “Kids in Love” were an Indian band's music video, this would be great video, in which smiling guys play field hockey with a burning ball and take pictures with Pentax film. But this feature film, and on only one sunbeams Yes, it’s impossible to get cute boys out. Fans of Cara Delevingne should be completely disappointed. Here she acts as furniture - the character has no history at all, although he is placed in the center of the composition on the poster. One good thing is that Foggin is not mediocre. At a minimum, he is able to offer the viewer beautiful picture, which means that with a more meaningful script, the director can make a much more serious movie.

The Red Army can be called a real phenomenon military history. Within a few years, it became one of the most combat-ready armies in the world.

Paradoxical as these may seem, Vladimir Lenin did not plan to create a regular army and believed that there was no need for it in the country of the victorious proletariat. In 1917, he wrote the work “State and Revolution,” where he advocated replacing the regular army with the general arming of the people.

By the end of the First World War, the armament of the people was indeed close to universal, but not everyone was ready to defend the “gains of the revolution” with arms in hand. The voluntary principle of recruitment into the ranks of the Red Army showed its unviability.

Trotsky and decimation

Leon Trotsky is deservedly called the creator of the Red Army. It was with his submission that by decree of July 29, 1918, the entire population of the country liable for military service between the ages of 18 and 40 was registered and military conscription was established.
Trotsky, by his example, showed how to instill discipline in the new army and applied the ancient Roman ritual of decimation (execution of every tenth person by lot) towards deserters. The measures turned out to be effective.
In September 1918, there were already about half a million people in the ranks of the Red Army - more than two times more than 5 months ago. By 1920, the number of the Red Army was already more than 5.5 million people.

Budenovka from Vasnetsov and Vtorov

Budenovka was the first headdress associated with the Red Army. She became real cult thing for the history of the USSR. She was called both “Frunzenka” and “hero.” The top of the cap was jokingly nicknamed the “brain tap.” The Budenovka was introduced as part of the winter uniform of the Red Army in 1919 and until 1940 it was invariably associated with the Red Army soldiers, but after Finnish war was replaced by a hat with earflaps.
Sketches for the creation of the budenovka were created by Vasnetsov, and the first batch of the legendary “helmets” was sewn at the factories of Nikolai Vtorov, the richest man Russian Empire, killed under mysterious circumstances in 1918.

Tank from Renault

The role of “our Western partners” in the revolution and creation of the USSR has not yet been fully studied, but it is known that the first Soviet tank, released for the Red Army, was the Renault-Russian. It was copied from French light tank Renault FT-17 and was produced at the Krasnoye Sormovo plant in 1920-1921 with a total circulation of 15 cars. "Renault-Russian" was officially in service until 1930, although it never took part in hostilities. The tank was used for peaceful purposes - as a tractor, as it had a very powerful engine of 33.5 horsepower at that time.

Camels in the Red Army

In the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army included the 28th Reserve Army, in which camels were the draft force for the guns. It was formed in Astrakhan during the battles of Stalingrad. In total, 350 camels “fought” in the Red Army. Two of them, named Yashka and Mashka, reached Berlin.

Commissioner's propaganda

The Red Army would not have been created without active propaganda work. According to various sources, from 2 to 8 thousand former “tsarist officers” voluntarily joined its ranks. They could not rely entirely on “military experts,” as the officers of the Imperial Army began to be called. The institute of commissars was introduced in the troops, looking after the “former” ones.

The commissars, all of whom were members of the RCP(b), took on political work with both the troops and the population. Relying on a powerful propaganda apparatus, they clearly explained to the fighters why it was necessary to fight for Soviet power"to the last drop of worker-peasant blood." In the White Army, propaganda work was much worse, which was one of the reasons for its defeat in the Civil War.

Revolutionary bloomers

The episode from the film “Officers”, where the hero Georgy Yumatov is awarded “red revolutionary trousers” is quite historical - orders and medals in the Red Army did not immediately begin to be awarded. And the first awards were different from those we know.
The first holder of the Order of the Red Banner, Vasily Blucher, received an award with serial number 114, since the orders from the first batch were of poor quality.

Young army

To the beginning of the Great Patriotic War The Red Army was young in direct and figuratively. Average age Soviet generals were only 43 years old.

Officers are banned

It’s not customary to talk about this, but for a quarter of a century the word “officers” was considered counter-revolutionary in the Soviet Union. On March 1, 1917, order No. 1 “On democratization” was issued former army and the fleet." He actually equalized the rights of soldiers and officers.
It was only in the May Day order of the People's Commissar of Defense in 1942 that the word “officers” appeared again. At the beginning of 1943, with the introduction of shoulder straps in the Red Army, the word officer officially fell out of favor. The commanders from the platoon commander to the brigade commander began to be called differently.

Shoulder straps after a turning point victory

The return of shoulder straps to the Red Army took place as part of military reform and was not spontaneous. The return date was also not chosen by chance. A turning point victory was needed. Stalingrad became it. When it became clear that Paulus’s 6th Army would not have much time left, the project was approved by the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) on October 23, 1942. According to the order, it was necessary to switch to shoulder straps within half a month - from February 1 to February 15, 1943, but still Kursk Bulge in July of this year, some pilots and tank crews, as can be seen in the photographs, wore old buttonholes rather than shoulder straps.

Foreigners in the Red Army

During the Great Patriotic War, foreigners fought in the Red Army. For example, the American Joseph Beyrle, who was captured by the First Belorussian Front and continued to fight as part of a Soviet battalion. Greek Jean Zachary participated in the liberation of Ukraine, Poland, and liberated Warsaw. Awarded a medal"For Courage", Order of the Red Star, Order of the Patriotic War, II degree. The Spanish pilot Antonio García Cano took part in the Battle of Moscow and the Battle of Stalingrad.

It tells the story not only of the murder being carried out and its tracks being covered, but also of how the book about the crime was written and the investigation into it several years after it was committed.

Spirited Away is perhaps the most famous surreal anime film. However, if anyone loves the “weird” in his films, it’s director Satoshi Kon. His "Millennium Actress" talks about famous actress, who lived in seclusion for 30 years and finally agreed to an interview with two journalists before her death. The “weirdness” comes when you begin to realize that the journalists are actually traveling with her through the waves of her life.
