Friday night after extensive training and even greater advertising began Winter Olympics in Sochi. Officially start was given at the stadium “Fischt” – and watched a live show about three billion people.
On the show organizersDiscovery lay a heavy burden – not only make faster, higher and stronger than in other Olympics, and so in these characteristics to succeed, to plug or at least dampen the flow of accusations of homophobia and analysis in great detail all the problems with hotels. It would seem, what’s the connection. But the Olympics – it is a spectacular example of how to communicate in a tangle of things frankly different breed. And there is not a sport in the first place.
OpeningOlympics came more than two hours – and it was an impressive, sprawling holiday, after which many wrote that the tears that felt a unity that they are ready with a new force to cheer for the athletes.
For
brackets want to make this holiday fifth Olympic ring that will not be revealed – and Konstantin Ernst and promptly decided to insert appropriate fragment from filming rehearsals, where this does not happen smoothly. Supposedly rhetorical question, drawn in white letters on a black background Zemfira official website: “You do whatever you want?” (Original spelling and punctuation). This is a reaction to the fact that the track of the singer was used during the Olympic mix without her consent. However, under Article 1277 of the Civil Code on formal occasions can not negotiating with the rights holder to perform the composition in an amount “justified by the nature ceremony.” Somewhere in there, behind the brackets, the place to count how many people from flying the flag – members of the “United Russia”, arguments about dozed Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, as well as reflections on why Lukashenko and Viktor Yanukovych arrived in Sochi, and Obama and Merkel – no. Finally, it would be possible to close our eyes to the fact that a beautiful movie about the Olympic alphabet girl Luba drinking water from Lake Baikal, and Pushkin got the letter “b” instead of “P” (apparently, the periodic system, this letter is more appropriate). Russian exported these characters is obvious, although it is debatable. If “T” wrote Tolstoy and TV, then why on the “B” to Baikal not finish Brodsky.
In the same that was left inside the brackets, was surprisingly little splint. Mentioned and khokhlomu and miracle Yudo fish-whale, and Petrushka (Dmitry Guberniev commentator Opening to “Russia”, called him “our national superhero”), and on the ice with Zaikov rolled bear and leopard – and the main Russian character and “grandson” of the legendary, flown away in 1980 from Moscow. This character became an instant hero internet memes thanks smile hooded eyelids.
was still strange comparison with the broadcast of the Olympics and “Olympia” Lenny Riefenstahl, who took off to order the Third Reich almost three-hour documentary about the history of the Olympic Games – from antiquity to the competition in Berlin in 1936. Comparison of the more surprising that the very message of the Sochi Olympic show the opposite of the German. Riefenstahl Big recorded the person deriving from each – the hero of the nation. History shown on the stadium “Fischt” was held in the spirit of almost Tolstoy. Tiny people wandered from the Admiralty to the Admiralty, if rotating earth with their steps. Other men ran inside gears or mass harvested, symbolizing the rapid onset of revolution and communism. The third group of people crossing the endless road under the “severed” heads Worker and Collective Farm, depicting the famous scene from “Obsession” (“Student” story “Operation Y”), and controlled road traffic uncle Stepan performed Nikolai Valuev, who also looked a tiny cog in mechanism stories.
worst thing that was broadcast from Sochi – it’s pathetic and commentary from leading harvested, they say, you look like everything is beautiful, nothing in the world can be better, this show still has not been arranged, and fed in Sochi so that even foreigners swallow food with forks.
real beauty was less noisy and did not require big words. Running with the Olympic flame Vladislav Tretiak and Irina Rodnina. Before them – female trio Kabaeva-Sharapova Isinbayeva-diluted Alexander Karelin. Neighborhood word “Olympics” and “Karelin” recalls not only victories in Greco-Roman wrestling, but Sydney 2000, where after the defeat in the final, as they say, a fighter all night wandering the streets of the Australian capital with annoying silver medal in his pocket .
It’s all part of history that do not always fit in a beautiful myth. Sochi 2014 is trying to create a new – with a beautiful stadium, with a musical mix of We will rock you Freddie Mercury, frontman of The Queen and homosexual, and the song “Not Gonna Get Us” pseudo-lesbian duo “Tatu” (ironic response to anti-homophobic campaign in the West), with music Tsoi, Stravinsky and, of course, Tchaikovsky, with the “Swan Lake”, which causes the Russian viewers several disturbing association with the history of Russia, which for some reason fails with the collapse of the USSR. Here even the Great Patriotic War is shown not as epic fresco and show mechanisms, and as a minimalist light Ballet – under the spotlight sirens seek out Nazi planes in the sky. This reduction in the Great Patriotic themes from Russian Olympic Committee demanded – and who knows, could have come up with something better than the creators of this laconic scene. In the end, the whole Vanity Fair, a show of force and classic hits a la “bread & salt” just a dream girl Luba – a dream of something more, a dream where there is no policy and the reverse side of the coin. There are only different colors – bronze, silver, but the best, of course, gold.
