The new "Robocop" against old Bashny.Net

The director of "Elite Squad" took off his version of the story about the police, soldered into a metal housing.
"Robocop» (RoboCop)

USA, dir. Jose Padilla, starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Jackie Earle Haley, Marianne Jean-Baptiste.

Good cop too deeply dug where not to be, but because once flew into the air with his car. But not regained consciousness in the hospital, and the Chinese factory producing robots: a loving wife gave consent to have his remains still served the Fatherland.

Perhaps the most foolish - is to compare the current "Robocop" with the original film by Paul Verhoeven, released in 1987. But it is all done in the first place - as if forgetting that remakes have long become full "members of society" and are entitled to the full for their own merits or faults. "It used to be better" - it's always said about any mess, so why are repeated all the time? This is a "popular" now colorization, around which always raised a ton of dust - like the new colored version prohibits you personally to continue to love the old black-and-white. You do not want - do not look, do not pull forcefully. It is the same with the new "Robocop."



Although still say not hold: Feed Verhoeven fact itself was far from ideal. She drew, certainly the idea (just ideas at this director never had a problem), but by its incarnation certainly was not a masterpiece. Many love the movie just because it looked back in my childhood, in the romantic-clandestine video salons - and genuinely protect not only the painting as his recollection of it, it is largely due to that the surrounding circumstances. It must also be borne in mind before you smash remake coming to the wide distribution, from which the former "Robocop" in our country simply could not be.



Although at least one fundamental difference between these works there. The first "Robocop" still has been created by man - who err and feel. New (with all the advantages of Jose Padilla, the author of "Elite Squad," six years ago, climbed into the Berlin "Golden Bear") Created by the studio has a ruthless machine programmed exclusively to loot at the box office worldwide. While some of the old charm of the picture it gave her a certain degree of imperfection, fresh chip militants nearly flawless: here - the battle here - tear here - easy smile here - retropesenka, and then shooting and melee. Everything is designed in accordance with the years adjusted algorithms - to understand that the "excessive emotionality leads to overstimulation of the brain and turn off the system."

So do not say that turned out badly: the current "Robocop" - quite a movie better than hundreds of others. But not better: you can watch it, but somehow weak to be believed, that someone will defend him seriously even after a quarter century, when the story will want to re-shoot again.



What should particularly highlight here, it's a line of television preacher played by Samuel L. Jackson. The topic is not new - the manipulation of public opinion through TV. This character is for robots to enable the service - while 72% of Americans do not agree to robots pulls the trigger. Therefore, in the course are all kinds of techniques and the most ardent phrases - and the fact that there is nothing more important than the security of the American people, and the fact that the United States - all major country in the world. The filmmakers certainly do while pretending to hold on FIGE in every pocket: that our audience smart, he somehow understand everything correctly. It is clearly said that the theme of "code red", which will protect the most-the most notorious scoundrels. He will make something of what has been said the only correct conclusion.

What is, however, a great delusion. Really original owners of the Hollywood "red code" forgotten that the films they watch the most that neither is the ordinary people? Are mostly perceived as a projection screen as a television - and thus the next portion of the alleged false propaganda definitely take at face value. Or is it not confusing at all, but just to us under the guise of another dystopia slipped another politagitku? .. Ploy any permissive reading. And our, and your - quite in keeping with the era of remakes.
