In the fall of 2017, more recently, the new film "Hotel" Russia "" was released on the screens of our country. Reviews and comments on it will be voiced in this article, because it is interesting to know the attitude of modern youth, middle-aged and elderly people to everything that happens at that time. And it will be really interesting, because each generation has its own preferences, ideas about life and various situations, about how everything happened or was supposed to happen.
Story line. Ksenia - the main character
While watching this series, you can take a trip into the past. The film "Hotel" Russia "" - 2017, reviews of which will be slightly lower, takes viewers forty years ago, in 1976. At the center of the story is the ordinary girl Ksenia, who received a position in a hotel called “Russia”. This is a pretty profitable place, besides there is an opportunity to reduce the acquaintance with visiting foreign guests and high-ranking officials who can help Ksyusha if this need suddenly arises. In addition, the girl now receives a high salary and she has the opportunity to make savings for the future.
Ksyusha's responsibilities include ensuring a comfortable stay for all visitors. It is not easy for her, because the guests are quite significant people. The girl is quite responsible for her work, meeting guests with warmth and sincerely referring to their requests. She is not a conflict person, she never takes part in discussions between other employees and maids.
Inside look
So, the film "Hotel" Russia ". 2016 (in the reviews of the audience overwhelmingly praise this tape) was the year when the picture was in production, and it was released a year later.
Admirers of such a movie utter many words of gratitude to its creators, who colorfully showed what was happening in the elite hotel of that time. After all, a completely different life reigned inside. None of the ordinary citizens could imagine how impressive this hotel looks from the inside. Such a rich life can afford exclusively wealthy people. Ksenia is proud of her position. It gradually becomes part of the story, because many important things were done there, within the walls of the hotel. But the girl never betrayed a single secret that she unwittingly managed to learn. She became a truly valuable employee, and no matter how much the detractors tried to remove her from her position, the bosses were on her side.
And yet, intrigues began to plague around Xenia due to the fact that the girl became pregnant from her lover - Nicaraguan Manuel. The young man was simply overwhelmed by her beauty. Soon, all staff learned about this novel, and not very flattering words began to speak about the girl. She was very unpleasant, besides, she found out that Manuel was buying weapons, planning to carry out a coup in her country. Now Ksenia does not know what to do and how to live further - alone with the child or Manuel will stay with them. Soon, a fire breaks out in the hotel, which became an involuntary push for the girl to make, perhaps, the most difficult choice in her life.
A film made with respect to the past
For some viewers, watching contemporary TV shows is an exquisite torture. Just a few minutes later they begin to frown and squint at the unprofessionalism of the director and actors, the illegible plot and the savings on consultants. Against this background, the film "Hotel" Russia "" is seen as a "ray of light in the dark kingdom". Reviews and comments on it indicate that this creation was a success. At first I like music, color newsreels, in which Moscow was shown in the late seventies ... This is all the more valuable, because Zaryadye Park is now located on the site of this hotel . And he is already a completely new reality, similar to another, unfamiliar planet.
Sincerely and honestly
In the reviews of the film "Hotel" Russia "" indicate that there is no special plot. Each series is connected by a chain of events in which the protagonists are the hotel management, KGB officers, farmers, people from the art world. Absolutely honestly, without any smirks over the past, the ups and downs of the main characters are shown.
It is noticeable that this picture does not contain condemnation, as is now customary, or ridicule. And if twenty years ago everything Soviet was anathema, then today most people probably realized that something better that they had expected so far was not yet visible. Ekaterina Vilkova, who embodied the role of Xenia, plays quite smoothly, clearly. She is beautiful, besides dressing her heroine in the fashion of that time.
Small "bloopers"
The film “Hotel Russia” turned out to be really interesting. The reviews of the audience are an indicator that it is impossible to find fault with this picture: everything is sustained in the spirit of that time. Nevertheless, some "mistakes" can be found. For example, it was unlikely that at that time Xenia would have managed to get a place where, after a careful check of her biography, a father with a not-so-bright past would have been discovered. In addition, her own fate was unsettled, and then she completely spun romance with a farce-man. At that time, such things became known immediately, because the person holding her position was in plain sight.
Another "blunder", also relating to this girl. She is a former teacher who speaks four languages! For the Soviet era, this is almost impossible. The exception was probably only the cadets of the KGB Higher School.
It is a pity that the creators of modern series do not always turn to the services of consultants who could tell the director the true state of things in those years when the USSR special services were a fairly powerful organization and worked at full capacity.
Serious organization
Superbly managed to show the KGB. Older people can say this with absolute accuracy. Particularly, an employee of the central apparatus turned out to be played by the famous actor Pavel Trubiner. His character’s methods of cracking smugglers will horrify the modern viewer and even cause them disgust, coupled with other negative feelings. But the director, speaking of the film, justifies every action of his hero, saying that the martial law of those years, his duty to his homeland, orders and the like ... It is hardly possible to blame this character, but there is something to think about, this is certain.
Comrades from the Central Committee and the rest ...
How similar are the figures from the Central Committee! The film "Hotel" Russia "", reviews and comments of which are full of various impressions, indicate that these people were shown very accurately. Characters from the same committee, their impressive size wife in then fashionable hats from karakul, which in their shape looked like flying saucers. Those viewers who are already in their fifties can remember that this is exactly how it was.
One cannot help but recall the supporting actors: many of them were simply perfect in their images. For example, Anatoly Goryachev, approved for the role of manager of the Khazov hotel. Everything here was in the best traditions of good cinema. On the other hand, not everyone looked so organically. This applies to Miriam Sekhon - the role of a chess player’s mistress. It was clear that she plays rather weakly.
Eye-catching action
There are viewers who do not particularly like TV shows in general and domestic ones in particular. And all because they prefer to spend time with short films, trying to get the maximum of positive emotions in the shortest possible time. But the film "Hotel" Russia "" clearly stands out from the general list of paintings offered to the audience. The building itself is represented by a symbol of the past tense, a symbol of the Soviet time, which so many people remember, with their own advantages and disadvantages. It is noticeable that the filmmakers tried as accurately as possible to reflect the spirit of those years. Probably, not everything worked out, but still a lot was done. You can feel the sincere respect of the director of the film to our grandparents, mothers and fathers, who lived at that difficult time, did not give in to the difficulties that arise in their path. Worked honestly, creating a bright future.
At first glance, at first glance ...
So, the film "Hotel" Russia "". The reviews and comments that can be read about him suggest that many contemporary paintings that go on the main channels in the evenings often disappoint the audience. And this film is a pleasant exception, which makes us believe that our cinema is still alive and capable of releasing a really worthwhile tape.
Acquaintance of admirers of a good movie with the new series was quite pleasant. The actors of the film "Hotel" Russia "" played so sincerely that from the first frames they were able to attract the attention of viewers. And then it became impossible to break away from the screen. Wonderful music, colorful frames in which you can see your favorite capital as it was in the late seventies of the last century.
Today it seems that Moscow then and now are two completely different cities. After all, so much has changed since then, it has become completely unrecognizable. In addition, one should take into account the fact that the hotel, which gave the name to this film, no longer exists: in its place now is one of the most beautiful parks in Zaryadye.
Who do we see on the screen?
Talented actors and reviews of the film "Hotel" Russia "" speak for themselves. And here it is not at all necessary to pour bright colors onto the palette with a generous hand in order to embellish reality. Everything is clear. Just watch at least one episode.
Ekaterina Vilkova was approved for the role of the main character. The young actress looks quite organically in this image. A beautiful, smart, fashionably dressed girl immediately attracts attention. A significant number of reviewers note her excellent game.
Actor Ivan Bosilchich was entrusted with the role of a foreigner, to whom Ksenia was imbued with warm feelings. No less interesting was Pavel Trubiner as a KGB officer with his frightening working methods. But Yevgeny Pronin embodied on the screen the friend Baskakova (this is the name of the main character), the captain of the 9th administration, a very honest and correct person with his own principles. Usually, dear Danila Dunaev performed in an unusual way for the audience - a cynical farcer who is ready to do anything for the sake of gaining profit.
In this series, you can see many other actors, each of whom invested in his character a huge range of feelings, emotions and attractiveness. Watching each character is very interesting. And the story turned out fascinating and exciting. When viewing, a real feeling of returning to the past is created, in those distant seventies, where, as it seems now, everything was so simple and so complex at the same time, where other people lived, who had their own ideals, habits, certain moral principles ...
Summing up, we can say that this project deserves the attention and good attitude of the audience. Happy viewing!
