The Japanese put the Varyag into operation. The newest cruiser made in the United States is of considerable technical interest. In shallow waters, close to the coast, it is not so difficult. Add another ten to fifteen meters – and lifting work with the equipment of that time would have been impossible.

Raised and repaired Sungari like Japanese Matsui. Displacement 3000 tons, speed 10 knots, crew 45 people

«Varyag» as «Soya». Instead of a beautiful canary orange pipe and snow-white hull, the ship is now protected by a steel battle gray. Friends! There are no films about that forgotten war, from the word «in general», there is no true, popular display of the reasons for our great defeats. And therefore – do we have the right to hope for future great victories?

Material – « Films that I am ready to watch the second and third time…»There are not so many of them.For example, the famous, and not at all forgotten by fans, the fantastic, surreal «Lexx». It may be a little podshofe, the author often reaches out to type the cherished word in a search engine. In order to once again plunge into the world of stellar arch-heretics, stunning lizard girls (and even plants), re-educated handsome killers and cowardly space captains. Of the serious films, this list now includes «Midway», 2019. Do not confuse only with the tape «Battle for Midway», the same year, friends. In the same vein, but gloomy in the Russian way.

What I love about Midway is that everything is put in its place. In Russian military tapes it is very often not clear what, where, why, where and where. Or some kind of ceremonial pictures of hard-stone officers bending over the map. Here there is – the work of thought, analyst, figures of military leaders and ordinary workers of war. Characters. Clear dialogues. Development of heroes. And – action. Very soon you will find yourself in the cockpit of the Dontless, flying from cold clouds to the hot water. We know little about the war in the Pacific. And there was a lot. Dozens of sunken aircraft carriers, Giant battleships. Large and midget submarines. Torpedo bombers and dive bombers. Air, fire and water. I recommend – for this evening

Friends! Let me write an open letter to a typical Russian director. You (dear Russians) know him… So …Dear Fedor Sergeevich! I am writing to you under the impression of a recently viewed advertisement for a computer game. You, too, when you started with something like that? You’ve been a pretty good music video director. What the customers wanted, you did. Sometimes they corrected their work. No offense. As a result, we received money. And, on this wave, the idea appeared – to create a full-size feature film. You consulted with friends, pondered what the viewer might like. And – made a good film «The Ninth Company». An echo of the American Platoon. The first stupid household part could be immediately sent to the trash. The picture would only benefit from that. The second episode is something similar to the truth of life and, as they say, action. We liked. But then… then you got seriously ill. Captured, as they say, a star. And they began to rivet films at their own discretion, without regard to the opinion of us, ordinary people. The main thing is that the «masters» are satisfied. For example, science fiction writer Boris Strugatsky. This is how the Inhabited Island meme was created.

Then the movie «Attraction». This is where the Muscovites began to press with baseball bats the aliens who landed in the middle of the city in a 300-meter space cruiser. He and the mayor of Moscow, a notorious lover of demolishing everything, and creating new things for huge budget money, they cannot do anything… what kind of aliens are there?…That’s just funny. Correctly said one of the commentators: «It could only have come up with a ten-year-old child.» But then «Stalingrad» began. That is, it is no longer laughter, but an outrage against historical memory. Did you look at the German version of 1993? I’m ashamed for you. What, again, «the master knows better»? Oh, the author of the book, according to which the script was directed – this is Vasily Grossman! What is this attempt, common for our «masters of cinema», to show the Great War through the prism of «strawberries»? No, it’s more likely a «strawberry» against the background of hostilities… And all these strange «director’s findings» of yours… As if the historical truth, the truth of life itself, cannot be of interest to us. Much more can be said of this, offensive, truthful. But let’s get down to business. You seem to me to be a person who can still improve. Return to dialogue with the people. To start all over again. Beyond the jumble of mistakes, pride and snobbery.

…Advertising clips. Our. You are familiar. So, I accidentally watched a short commercial and was impressed. We look at the screenshots in a row:

Somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. American side. The rookie gets into hell

Steel giants, water and air in a fierce battle

Japanese pilot directs his damaged bomber towards an American ship

The recruit who survived in a flurry of fire unfolds the anti-aircraft gun left without calculation and directs it to the plane

As a result of hits, the bomber’s engine comes off, the plane is taken away from the ship. … All videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXchnjkOnWMEveryone survives. Both the pilot and the sailor are saved. They meet with their families. To the accompaniment of wonderful poems by Konstantin Simonov «Wait for me»
