Unsightly realities

Brief review of films about Chechnya

Without exaggeration, we can say that the bestfilms about Chechnya are "Block post", "Twelve", "Men's work", and, of course, "The Storm Gate". And the latter, judging by the popularity, was a success especially. This film proved that in Russia they know how to shoot interesting action films and dramas, it just happens rarely enough, as, indeed, in any other genre. Without exaggeration, we can say that the film directed by Andrei Malyukov "The Storm Gate" is the best military drama of the last years of domestic production. Almost all the timing, all 208 minutes of the film are devoted to the most severe defense of the eponymous pass. In this film, all the themes inherent in the genre are revealed: here and the heroes' experiences about their own destiny and the fate of their loved ones, awareness of the hopelessness of the situation and, despite many circumstances, heroism. And Andrei Krasko, Anatoly Pashinin, Vyacheslav Razbegaev and Mikhail Porechenkov showed their best roles in recent years.

Instead of concluding

Almost all the films about Chechnya are in themselvesthe only conclusion: the war is in any case awful, and no matter who is fighting on whose side. But at the same time such films simply infect love for the Motherland, and this is a very important factor, given the current situation in Russia. It's no secret that earlier patriotism was much larger, and not only the cinema, but also many Party workers, frontline teachers, writers, and simply people who participated in the Patriotic War and told the children about it worked not only in its support. At the same time, a shortage of patriotism is felt in everything. Therefore, true films about the Chechen war are needed especially. The truth is needed about those people who perished, but did what they should - and won, having done everything so that the virus of war did not spread.
