The films of the summer of 2015: the list of the best Russian and foreign. Reviews

The world of cinematography has always been distinguished by a high level of turbulence. Events of different magnitude and direction take place in it with constant constancy. More than once in this make sure allow films of the summer of 2015, the list of which can make moviegoers happy with a plethora of themes, plots, stars and debutants.

What did they show us last summer?

When it comes to recent premieres, it hardly makes sense to pay attention to the origin of cinematographic products. It is important what trace left in our minds these or those films. And they are Russian or foreign - a question from the category of secondary. First of all, it should be noted that the novelties of the summer 2015 - the films are very diverse both in genre and in thematic terms. This is the militants "Terminator: Genesis," "Mission Impossible: Tribe of the Outlaws," and the adventures of "The World of the Jurassic Period," and traditional Japanese animations "Naruto: The Last Movie." Of course, no season can not do without new comedies, in 2015 it was "Horoscope for luck" and "Bartender." Separate line in the list of Premiers of last summer should be noted two Russian films - "Under the electric clouds" and "Pioneers heroes." You can argue about their genre affiliation, but the uncommonness of these works does not cause doubts. And these are only some of the most notable films of the summer of 2015. A list of them could easily be continued if you pay attention to those tapes that did not cause a significant resonance among viewers and professional critics. Do not treat these films with disdain - not all of the significant works of art were clear at first sight.

"Terminator: Genesis"

Analyzing the noteworthy films of the summer of 2015, the list of which can be edited, you can not pass by the continuation of the legendary "Terminator." The next film about the battle of mankind with the machine of the future created by the army of the future was one of the most anticipated prime ministers of the past season. This film, no doubt, has become a cult, throughout the world there is a whole army of fans. And those who do not belong to this army, also expected this premiere with curiosity. They were interested in how long it was possible to exploit the artistic images that the audience had already met in 1984. And the conclusions were very disappointing. The film became a disappointment. He was not even saved by the rather interesting special effects that allowed the viewer to present the main role to the viewer as the public used to see him in the eighties of the last century. Apparently, any artistic achievement has its expiration date, and it is impossible to exploit them indefinitely.

"The World of the Jurassic Period"

It is best to look for the best films of the summer of 2015 among works of such a genre as action. It does not even matter that the fact that no one expected something special from the sequel sequel "Jurassic Park". The public always willingly goes to high-budget adventure films. For most viewers, this is just a magnificent spectacle and nothing more. Not God knows what news that numerous dinosaurs on Nublar Island once again got out of control and again created a menacing situation for lovers to gaze at prehistoric reptiles. No one doubts the inevitability of a happy end: the rescue rangers will have time to come to the aid of the victims at the last moment, and all ferocious tyrannosaurs will be driven into the concrete stall until next time until they again break free. In this, no one doubted. As in the fact that the best films of the summer of 2015 are fairy tales with a good ending. The demand for them is always stable and hardly ever will be completely exhausted.

New Russian Images

Of particular note is the latest work by the Russian director Alexei German Jr. "Under the electric clouds." Its action takes place in the near future, when the world is on the verge of a global catastrophe. All the characters of the film, fate mysteriously brought to one point in space and put before a tough need for a hard choice. The picture is full of allusions, hints and mysterious mystical manifestations. But it is precisely the unpredictability of the development of action that is interesting. Also it should be noted that the author worthily continues in the Russian cinema tradition of his famous father. Time will tell if the author managed to tell his film a new word in the history of world cinema. But the very attempt to do it inspires respect.

Pioneers are the heroes of modern Russia

No less significant is another Russian film directed by Natalia Kudryashova - "Pioneers Heroes". The ironic image in the title of the picture sets the system of coordinates of the perception of the realities in which its characters live. They were pioneers in the Soviet school in the last period of the existence of a great country. And today they are successful executives of administrations, editorial offices, trade and exhibition centers, law offices and television studios. They are quite successful, wealthy, managed to go round half of the world and achieve even what was not dared and dreamed of during the Soviet pioneer childhood. And with all this they are missing something. Perhaps the most important thing. Understanding this every day more clearly. Russian cinematography is interesting in that it sometimes throws itself at the global questions of human existence. It continues the traditions of great Russian literature.

In the genre of anime

Japanese animation is always traditional and rarely goes beyond the decades of worked out canons. Most of the plot moves here are easily calculated in advance. As in the next series "Naruto: The Last Film." It tells how the young heroine was abducted by dark alien forces, which represent an undeniable danger for the entire human civilization. Save the situation can only Naruto. But on the way to his little sister's younger sister, he has a lot to overcome. You'd think that from the Japanese animation someone was expecting something new and unexpected!

In the rhythm of hip-hop

The most controversial novelties of the summer of 2015 are films that were initially not targeted at all, but only for a narrow target audience, for example, fans of rap music. The fans of Latin American rhythms are addressed to the movie "On the style." This is a kind of chronicle of the development of the style of hip-hop and the corresponding fashion, which is characterized by huge pants, extravagant jackets with graffiti-evoking and bright baseball caps - everything that gradually migrated to the high fashion podiums from the criminal suburbs of megacities of Latin America. The film is full of visual archival materials and interviews with cult figures that have influenced the evolution of this music and this way of life.

Some conclusions about what I saw on the screen

Trying to follow the general trends of the development of the world cinema and analyzing the films of the summer of 2015, a list of which is presented to the public in the media, it is possible to come to interesting conclusions. The most striking impression is produced by the work of Russian directors. Before some of them, even the products corresponding to Hollywood standards are receding into the shadows. First of all, this is the film by Alexei German Jr.. For all the arbitrariness of any ratings, the list of the three most significant premieres of the summer of 2015 looks as follows:

• "Under electric clouds";
• "Pioneers heroes";
• "The World of the Jurassic Period".

The works of Russian authors are interesting for the unpredictability of plot moves and the freshness of plastic images. Often they keep the viewer's attention intriguing - it is impossible to calculate in advance what will result in the action. This applies equally to comedies, many of the nuances of which are understood only by domestic audiences. It remains to be regretted that all the comedic novelties of the summer of 2015 - the films are extremely primitive both on the scenario basis and on the director's incarnation.
