Time Machine
Exactly 50 years ago, the cult Soviet film “The Diamond Hand” by the brilliant director Leonid Gaidai was released to the masses. In this regard, the sin will not say a few words about this masterpiece. The years went by, the foundations changed, something collapsed, something appeared, but the spiritual basis remained the same. After so much time, this film is still a great example for various modern films, it is watched with pleasure, plunging into that very carefree time when everything was so easy and simple. So it was with me. I literally plunged into the nostalgic memories of my childhood, from where it blew the most vivid and native colors. Each time, revising it, I re-experienced all the feelings and emotions from the play of wonderful actors, from a funny and non-linear plot, from soul music, and, of course, from those very phrases that are firmly stuck into my everyday vocabulary. In order not to praise the film on the emotions, consider everything in turn.
The plot and script:
Leonid Gaidai - master of the Soviet comedy. He presented wonderful films to the whole country that do not need to be presented. The diamond hand is no exception. The plot is very inventive, but at the same time extremely simple. The well-known character Semen Semenovich Gorbunkov, an ordinary Soviet family man, an honest and decent citizen, who to this day is the hero of many "bearded" anecdotes, will fall into an unusual criminal scam and try to deal with it. That's the whole story. As I said - quite simple, but a lot of details, unusual characters, emotional atmosphere make the film truly brilliant and memorable for many, many years.
Actor play:
Perfect casting. They seem to be created for their roles. Yuri Nikulin as always on top, but I would not say that this is his best film. Yes, his facial expressions, gestures and humor are capable of provoking any person, but here, he could play a little bit sharper, such as in the same “Operation“ Y ”and other adventures of Shurik. In any case, the spiritual hero of Soviet cinema is hard to argue with. Perfectly played Papanov. His very strange accent is remembered for a long time, but, nevertheless, the basis of humor and remarkable acting in this film is Andrei Mironov. I think this is his best work. A very memorable character who causes a sincere laugh and a genuine smile.
Music:
Music in the film is a separate topic. Even if you are watching a movie for the first time, you will certainly recognize the main melodies and songs that give something good and kind. It is the music in the films of Gaidai that brings soul to his works. What is that same “song about hares”, which is still a “hit” of the Russian feast?
Camera work:
You know, such recruits, as in Soviet comedies, are not used anywhere. This gives the film some personality and authenticity. Unforgettable views of Moscow and the Overseas East, which is actually Baku, beautiful and interesting shooting - all this made the film the way we see it now.
Well, in the end I will say, such films do not require criticism. They sink into the human soul for life, forcing each time to plunge into the memories of childhood and adolescence. Such films are impossible not to love for one simple reason - they are the personal property of every person. And, to tell the truth, it is wonderful that there are such things in the world to which you will return again and again.
