"Teach me to understand beauty, wean me from longing and laziness!" - these are words from the romance performed in the film, which will be discussed in this article. The film was shot fifteen years ago on the novel of the same name by then unknown Ivan Okhlobystin. And besides the amazing plot, there is a great actor. The scavenger is his character in the picture. Yes, yes, it’s about this film that will be mysterious and incomprehensible with all the seemingly clarity of history.
Story line. Lady's visit
A small provincial town. Sleepy and unhurried. In the early morning, a gorgeous blonde arrives at him, whose car seems like a bright spot on a white snowy background.
The girl has nothing to do at such an early time, and in order to "kill" time, she speaks with a stranger who, at first glance, is not suitable for her at all: this person is on the social level much lower than the girl. But this is only at first glance.
The beginning of the plot is intriguing, but it seems that all subsequent action is clear and understandable: the beauty will conquer the town, and all men of different ages will fall before her. But it was not there. If George Shengelia was filming a primitive movie, then he would have had few viewers. But this film is definitely worth watching, if only because of the mysterious ups and downs of the plot. And amazing was invited to the main role. actor. The Scavenger is a movie not like anything else, because behind the appearance of a person the absolute opposite can be hidden here.
Story line. What is he, a new acquaintance?
And so it happened. As soon as the heroes get to know each other a little closer, it immediately becomes clear that this stranger is not such a simple person. Although he is a garbage man, he doesn't look like a garbage man at all. His speech is an intelligent man, refined manners, irony in relation to what is happening that this man knew the times better than today. And so it begins, The Scavenger (film). Actors appearing in the very first frames are familiar to most viewers: this is Alexei Guskov, who played the role of Nikolai, the garbage man, and Olesya Sudzilovskaya, who played the role of the girl in the red Renault. This film conquers the unsurpassed game of actors, primarily, of course, precisely the main characters.
Here it begins to seem that if Nikolay had such a life that he became just a deserted person, then the heroine of Sudzilovskaya will certainly pull him out of this hole and help restore his human appearance. But it was not there.
Story line. Unexpected meetings
A casual acquaintance behaved like a person with a very interesting past. It is completely incomprehensible that he thought of a girl. But it so happened that they met again.
The blonde lingers in this town, by chance, quite a bit, in contact with his life. She appears here and there ... And in the most refined, expensive places, fate confronts her all with the same person - Nikolai. A person who every minute seems to her more and more mysterious and incomprehensible. Together they attend events, the entrance to which alone would be closed to her. And before Nikolai all the doors of the most fashionable salons of the city are open.
This is how the film The Garbage Man describes the events that take place. The actors and the roles they played in this film very accurately convey the time in which she was shot.
It may well happen that the garbage man may pass himself off as a philosopher. But a garbage man dressed like a millionaire is something completely amazing.
How to figure out who is who?
The girl can not understand who her new acquaintance is. And even sharing a bed with him, she recognizes only his body. But not his soul ...
And the girl decided to find out everything. Even if it is very difficult and dangerous.
In general, every actor is interesting here. Scavenger is a parable film that has gathered a lot of good artists under its wing. In addition to those already mentioned, Alexander Robak starred in the role of "brother", Vladimir Gusev as mayor, Vladimir Sterzhakov (a man behind a tape measure), Denis Matrosov (croupier).
Reflections on the topic ...
You can’t immediately understand what this film can attract. But it can be watched with great pleasure, and then reviewed more than once. And he absolutely will not get bored.
It is clear that the picture is amazing and conquers not only the plot. First of all, this is an unsurpassed game, which was shown to everyone by the performer of the main role - Nikolai - Alexey Guskov, the actor. The Scavenger, as a representative of film work of the nineties and the beginning of the twenty-first century, is very unusual in the usual approach to work. The authors of the film came up with a simple plot (but this is only at first glance), invited two popular actors and several slightly less well-known ones, and as a result, a quite solid movie was obtained. And indeed, not many screenwriters can master such an action.
Viewers can see how ordinary, it would seem, a person who is not only respected, but also afraid of the whole city, works as the most ordinary garbage collector, and every time his morning begins with cleaning up heaps of garbage on city sidewalks, streets and squares.
Such a trashman. The actors and the roles they played in this picture are very believable and sincere. Previously, Nikolai had to clean up the “garbage” using a rifle. He passed Afghanistan and survived his wife's early departure. And in this girl on a red car, he found a new love, without even knowing her name. Together they played a very strange game, guessing each other's stories and knowing themselves. The stranger began to hunt for him, offering cooperation, but suddenly she felt love ...
