Welcome, dear readers!
The world premiere of the miniseries "Chernobyl", created by the joint production of American and British filmmakers in the genre of historical drama, took place on may 6, 2019.
It became available to Russian viewers the next day - may 7.
The series consists of five parts for 56 minutes each.
Starring Jared Harris (Valery Legasov), Stellan Skarsgard (Boris Shcherbina), Jesse Buckley (Lyudmila Ignatenko) and other actors.
The plot of the series tells about the most intense events that occurred in the Soviet Union, when the nuclear power plant "Chernobyl", located in the city of Pripyat, man-made accident occurred, resulting in radiation contamination of the area and killed many people.
After reviewing at the moment four of the five series of the miniseries "Chernobyl", I want to say that the last series is not going to watch. I'm sorry for the time spent watching episodes three and four. Incidentally, the footage of the fourth I partially missed. Those that relate to the shooting of animals. We can, of course, welcome the desire of the filmmakers to touch as closely as possible on the reality of the events that took place, in particular, to clean up the infected areas, but everything should be a measure...
In fact, the plot of all five series could fit in screen time, designed for two. Too much unnecessary, besides, periodically repeating information, detailed "savoring" the suffering of people who received a lethal dose of radiation, long silent scenes with images of emotions on their faces...
But... business is business, in whatever industry it may be.
As I said, only the first two series can fully capture the attention and minds of the audience. Young people are likely to be delighted with the entire series. Still, the authors of the series not only revealed the terrible "secrets" of that truly tragic event, but also tried to show all insolvency and inferiority of the Soviet power to prove thereby that disintegration of the USSR was predetermined and justified.
Visibility of complete truthfulness of the series attaches create recreated to the smallest detail the Soviet way of life, things, objects, which were used by people in everyday life, but from the very first frames cuts the hearing of the unusual often used treatment between ordinary people, ordinary citizens of the country - "comrade". But if in the beginning of the series to this treatment was added at least the name of the person to whom addressed, then the fourth - the entire population of the country suddenly become faceless - just "comrades", without names and surnames.
The scenes with the miners are absolutely implausible. Perhaps this is how American or British miners behave, but not our Soviet ones. The scene with the old woman, who is clearly not herself, with her inarticulate story about how she and her family have been persecuted since tsarist times, is also puzzling.
The image of academician Legasov also caused me more bewilderment...
Finally I want to add that I understand that this series, like it or not, not a documentary, just based on real events, and therefore has the right to fiction, but I have a very strong strain of his political and campaign background.
The slogan of the series sounds like "Find out the price of lies." But sometimes half-truths are worse than lies.
Disasters such as Chernobyl, yet were not. And no matter what the creators of the series say, no matter what difficulties arose at the beginning of these events, our people adequately coped with them. And the government was able to quickly and evacuate people from the area of infection, and prevent panic among the population. Panic can cause much more terrible consequences.
Whether you watch this movie or not is up to you. I wouldn't recommend it...
Thank you for your attention, see you soon!
With respect to you, @mrfantastis.
