In the process of its formation, Kazakhstani cinema overcame many difficulties, due to which the cloying and pompousness disappeared. But Kazakh scriptwriters know how to get to Thailand without tickets, bypassing customs control. The film “Vacation in Thailand” (2018) can serve as proof of this.
Comedy - Goldmine
A successful video maker Alain Niyazbekov decided to realize his creative potential in big movies only last year. In order to try himself as a director of feature films, he chose the most popular genre in the Kazakhstani film market - comedy. His debut project "Oralman from Peter" was not the most successful, which did not stop the director. The second comedy film "Vacation in Thailand" is many times more interesting, the narrative of the project is full of many unpredictable plot twists. According to the authors' idea, only the toilet door separates the main characters from an exotic island. Unbelievable adventures await her confused teacher and his two students.
In the vein of Vegas
From the many national Kazakhstan situational comedies “Vacations in Thailand” is distinguished by a pronounced desire to move away from some stereotypes in favor of others. The director Alain Niyazbekov’s work does not focus on uniting or separating a family or a certain circle of relatives, amusingly beaten national traditions and customs, and other features of national color. The film was created in the spirit of "Hangover", it is based on male friendships and jokes that "grass is not a drug."
The comedy “Vacation in Thailand” looks easy and fun, especially in contrast to the beaten-up contrast of traditional values and modern life trends used by most modern filmmakers in Kazakhstan.
Plot
The narration in the film "Vacation in Thailand" famously twisted around the personalities of the three main characters. Among them:
- a fan of smoking "grass", the cunning Dauren Alpysbaev (Didar Dzheksekov);
- the excessively absent-minded teacher Askhat-agaya (Nurlan Koyanbayev), from whom his wife left after taking the children;
- honest, modest Ermek (Kuanysh Zhylzhaksynov).
Three men united by problems come together, and from that moment their life changes dramatically: they are moving from Astana to Thailand. The portal becomes a toilet, details are clarified in the process of narration.
These three performers draw the entire humorous component of the project and the whole plot as a whole.
Genre in form
According to the director, “Vacation in Thailand” was created in a new format. This is a very bold youth film, which at the moment has no analogues in the national film industry of Kazakhstan.
In addition to the above-mentioned actors, the film involves Gazret Yerzhanov, who is in excellent physical shape, who fits perfectly into the role of narcissistic macho. The image of the eccentric mafiosi was brilliantly successful for Jean Baizhanbaev. Against the backdrop of such a colorful male company, the actress-debutantes were somewhat lost, whose works look too overtly, unnaturally.
The following compositions were used as musical accompaniment:
- Alex Tiff ft. Max Fly - Pattaya;
- "Voronov Attraction" - "Atlantis"; "Song of friendship";
- ALEX TIFF - “On the Shores of South China”, “Peace in Smoke”;
- Svetlana Kuptsova - “In the Sofa Bar”.
Songs from the film "Holidays in Thailand" have gained extraordinary popularity, they occupy top positions in many music charts.
