Mirny 21. Seitablaev's new movie about the feat of the border detachment, which was the first to give the Russian fight

On February 23, the premiere of the film Akhtem Seitablaev "Mirny 21" was the original mixture of military drama, spy thriller and Romcom. Director Akhtem Syitbalev, who made the most successful national fucking films-Cyborgs (2017) and Zakhar Berkut (2019), presented to the public the premiere picture "Mirny 21".

If "cyborgs" are a landmark military drama (we compared it to the "Stanley Kubryk)" Zakhar Berkut " - an entertaining historical blockbuster, then" Peaceful 21 "is something in the middle. Here the plot was built on a documentary basis - about the battle in June 2014 of the Lugansk Border Detachment against separatists and Russian saboteurs: Ukraine first made an armed repel of the Russian Federation.

The film skillfully intertwined three lines: military, spy and lyrical - the last with comedy elements. So Mirny 21 is a military drama, a spy thriller and a Romcom in one bottle. Focus believes that with such a set of the film, all the chances of success in the mass viewer.

Actually, the image of the protagonist, commander of the border detachment Alexander Avdeev (actor Andrey Saminin) is based on the personality of the Colonel of the Armed Forces Sergei Deynek, who in June 2014 headed the Lugansk Border Squad. Mirny, 21 - the real address of the border detachment base - by the name of the quarter, where it was located in Lugansk.

The detachment fighters gave the fight to the separatists and Russian saboteurs who exceeded the personnel of the base - both in number and military equipment. There is also the prototype of the governor of the self -proclaimed so -called "LNR" Valery Bolotov - in the movie Molotov (Igor Dimov). It is believed that from these battles, which took place on June 2-4, 2014, the armed repel of Ukraine began to prevent the Russian Federation to split our territory.

The film sounds the phrase: "We will not repeat what was in Crimea. " The Structure of the Mirny 21 (Budget 31 million UAH) is similar to the one made by James Cameron in Titanic (1997): real tragic events in the center of which is a love triangle. Therefore, there are many heroism in the movie, there is a lyric. But it is not a bias in the melodrama, but in a comedy: for some viewers it will be strange, but in "Mirny 21" - humor in general, at least a dam.

For example, a hurrying jump in the nakedness of the Lieutenant-Lover Vlad (Yevgeny Lamakh) on the street through the balcony from her girl Ollie (Maria Shtofa) under a formidable run around the apartment with her evil dad (Victor Zhdanov). Then this wonderful girl meets another lieutenant of the Border Troops-the son of a non-capital oligarch Sergiy (Maxim Devizorov) with a call sign "Dober". Both of them are very direct and sexy, so they could not like each other.

Moreover, Seryoga is prone to wide gestures, which can not but bribe a maiden heart. Generally, the relationship within this triangle is the great success of the film, they caused a living reaction of the hall: from laughter to sympathy. It is all competently woven into politics: Dad Ollie is an active assistant of self -proclaimed armed formations in Lugansk. There are a significant serious script work, there are three screenwriters: Yaroslav Yarish, Sergey Kastorny, Anatoly Kotsurba.

"Peaceful 21" is full of bright lyrical episodes on the verge of comism, connected with other heroes of the tape. For example, an eternally busy colonel Avdeev loves to watch his wife (Zoya Vlasenko) directly from the office to the optical sight removed from the weapon. And she knows it by flirting with her husband. It is as if they were such a secret romantic way to communicate. All of the above is very decorating the picture and makes it rich from an artistic point of view.

At a briefing on the question of focus about whether he has helped him in terms of reliability, the experience of serving in TRO, Akhtem Seitablaev said: "The director works in the territory of art where some other laws are in force compared to life. " And he is right - several genres were harmoniously combined in the movie, the director made a paradoxical mix: a military drama, a spy thriller and a rum. As for the actor Alexei Trittenko ("I work in the cemetery", "Black Raven", "Kruty.

1918"), then to a similar question of focus: as the service in TROs changed his views, he answered simply: "No way. War is black and white. No halftones. " One of the main lines of the movie "Mirny 21" is, of course, the acceptance of Avdeev's responsibility for the decision to give a fight to separatists. Colonel's speech on the eve of the assault that anyone can leave the base-culminating peak. Despite the fact that this appeal to the fighters is historically reliable.

But all, even a nurse, remained on the basis. And yet the key character of the ribbon is not Avdeev, but to do it. Here the idea of ​​"peaceful 21" intersects with the strong Ukrainian military action "Sniper. White Raven". There, a pacifist from revenge became a sniper, and here the boy is passing a school of courage. Sergiy is constantly in the border detachment "Crazy" dad - the capital's oligarch, so the lieutenant is written off by numerous jams.

But still the guy does not rot and when the fighting begins, he manifests himself on the best. The formula of the painting "Mirny 21": Officer-Bay-feat in an emergency-a professional warrior (image-action-transformation). The fact that actor Paul Lee ("Cherkasy", "Shadows of Unforgettable Ancestors"), who played in the film of one of the heroic fighters, died on March 6, 2022 by the death of the brave, works in the perception of the tape.

Paul became a volunteer and exported people from the occupied Irpen at that time, his car was shot by the occupiers. Paul Lee was only 33 years old. Let us also note the character and acting of Alexei Trittenko. The actor here directly went out to the myth, his shaved assistant Molotov - just a "Opolchen" demon.

Shaved, formidable, in the bulletproof vest or Tolnyashka, Tritenko in this role resembled a demon of the revolution - the poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, whom Johnny Depp noted: "I was struck by his shaved skull and evil face. " Just like the poet of the revolution, the hero Trittenko - just seems simple. He has one of the explosive werewolves of the movie. It is likely that today is the best role of the actor. As for the tape, it is made very professionally, with the great success of the audience.
