"Graduation": reviews of the movie, reviews

The new-fashioned youth national comedy "Graduation" (reviews about the film are extremely controversial) are now positioned by the majority as an answer to all the infamous "American Pie". And an indication on the poster of the film debut of ex-journalist Vsevolod Brodsky: "From the creators of" Bitter "! - it works unmistakably attractive, but it also imposes obligations on something.

Pioneers and followers

The comedy "Bitter!" Opened the special, we can say the secret door in the self-consciousness of the public, turning inside out, legalizing all the shameful, but letting them openly and admire, laugh, and be proud. The combination of such screen truth, unsightly frankness with inexorable reckless humor shocked many. The creators managed to combine the disgusting with the cute and touching, the terrible - with the familiar to the pain, relatives. "Graduation", reviews about the film in 2014, the proof, moved on, not only opening the reality of the festival in a purely Russian spirit, but also raising the eternal problem of the relationship between fathers and children. The basis of the plot line and intrigue for the film is a prom night in one of the ordinary provincial schools. Everyone understands that graduation is "a ticket to adulthood", but the creators managed to give the entire action a specific domestic background. The film "Graduation" (reviews unanimous in opinion) is "American Pie" in Russian. After watching, you finally understand that the time of sterile, censored Russian comedies has sunk into oblivion, the new project allows you to meticulously examine all the unsightly aspects of domestic reality and laugh at them, albeit viciously enough.

Apple from the apple tree ...

And what could you expect from the creators of the film, including Sergei Svetlakov ("Our Rasha", Comedy Club) and Alexander Nezlobin. That's the project they have turned out not boring, diligently lacquer reality. This is not the "Class" of Elmar Raas, not the "School" of Valery Gai Germanika, it is a picture of "kings of humor", "inhabitants" of TNT, a channel that provocatively and scandalously does not differ. It seems that Nezlobin and Svetlakov in this movie just mock at some stereotypes, decide to cancel the usual taboos. That's how he is - a modern graduate. Reviews of the movie 2014 are written in a negative light only by fierce zealots of morality, which speaks of the acceptance of his broad audience.

Loss of virginity - not the main thing

It's not entirely clear why (mentality, tradition?) In Hollywood movies, like "I can not wait", "American pie", etc. American graduation was unambiguously associated with the mandatory loss of virginity. But the creators of the Russian version of "Graduation" are more realistic and realize that modern teenagers are not so stupid as to combine the loss of innocence and the end of the school. Our graduates are worried about another problem - how to bring alcohol to the holiday! In advance, the protagonists of the movie "Graduation" (the reviews are emphasized by the red line) are developing a cunning scheme to get what they want, they manage to enlist the school watchman, but it was not then, the teachers confirmed their qualifications, they will do everything, if only yesterday's students are not " Kicked. "

Summary

Normal school No. 14, which is in the glorious Nizhny Novgorod, is actively preparing for the celebration. Naughty guys from 11-A class, having planned everything in advance, load an impressive amount of booze into the hired motor ship for the night. However, the director learns about their tricks and takes the banquet to the walls of their native school. But the children do not intend to give up, they are tuned to the "best" in their understanding of the evening, so as one classmates embark on a famously twisted scam. It is no accident that the film "Graduation" 2014 reviews of spectators were awarded the title - "a guide to action, an instruction for future graduates". The heroes of the picture in the midst of the banquet invite all parents and teachers to the basement of the bomb-shelter school, motivating this walk with a surprise prepared there - after which they are locked all there, and they themselves have fun. However, young people underestimated the opportunities of the older generation, which, "armed" with the attributes of the Komsomol youth, went on a breakthrough and arranged such a party, a debauch, that the children's "bacchanalia" irrevocably faded in comparison. That's how it turned out graduation. Reviews of the movie do not understand who they are condemning - whether fathers, or children.

main characters

Naturally, this youth comedy has not been without stereotypes about the main characters. There are two smart teenagers in love with each other, there is an impending tragedy for young hearts: a girl (Kristina Isaykina) wants to send to Sarov, and a young man (Victor Grudev) to Rotterdam University. To avoid separation, the young man comes up with a "legend" for an explanation with his father - he declares that he feels a pleasant excitement when he sees naked guys, so it's definitely not worth it to go to Holland. However, he does not suspect that his father - a latent homosexual, and he is familiar with this most "pleasant excitement." Here it is worth noting that the "Graduation" (reviews about the movie 2014 indicate this) rather delicately, and not in the spirit of the Comedy Club, manages to present a dull theme of "dissolute Holland".

Not less colorful

The remaining characters are no less charismatic and colorful. That only there is that same "naked graduate" in a sexy lace dress (Yana Enzhayeva). And the musical duet of the local Black & Black spill (Nikita Karpinsky and Danila Vakhrushev)! The rapping children will invariably be remembered by the audience, if only because the whole meaning of their text is necessarily reduced to one phrase: "we will definitely fry the heifers." Their successor and follower (Sergei Pokhodaev) shoots a video with a provocative title "100 pop." The hormones of this trio just flow, from the walls bounce off. Even the queen or the high priestess of local informal people is ready to Julia Night (Sasha Makarska), she is a "toad", although she constantly threatens to commit suicide, she breaks off on the graduation from her cheerful classmates. The film "Graduation" 2014 (critics' reviews are ambiguous) contrives to go through corruption too, because during this disgrace the fathers-officials all think how to grab a piece of more from the state funds allocated for the restoration and construction of bridges across the Volga. In a word, the eternal theme of hypocrisy, pretense and doublethink, with which modern teenagers come into conflict, is solved quite well in the film.

The final will put everything in its place

Still an ambiguous film "Graduation"! Reviews of the audience and condemn its culmination, and agree with it. In the final episode, the main character, contemplating the launching of balloons into the sky and listening to the drunken vows of his ex-classmates, is very capacious, articulation shows that most likely they neither meet nor make friends no more. And this is atypical not only for "kind" domestic comedies, but also for "burnt" Hollywood. It is difficult to say after this that the semantic load of the picture gives "provincial kavenschinoy" and does not fit into the plot of the plot.

Not ideal, but a warning

It is not necessary, after reading everything written above, to assume that this picture is a breakthrough of the domestic cinema, is far from ideal "Graduation". Reviews of the movie break this assumption to smithereens. After viewing remains an annoying aftertaste - the authors of the picture, choosing between sincerity and dashing mischief, drive, chose the latter. Consolation is a strict age rating, perhaps the picture will be useful for a certain category of youth, pre-empting, if you want, not allowing the current eleventh-grade students to spoil their graduation. Reviews of the film position the comedy as a guide about what can not be done and how to find a common language for generations of fathers and children.
