What George Danelia wanted to warn everyone about in the film Kin-dza-dza! Bashny.Net

The meaning of the movie "Kin-dza-dza!" It is not immediately and not for everyone. Those Soviet children who loved science fiction and were looking forward to any movie on the subject, were very disappointed with the film in 1986. Even adults didn’t understand everything.

Today's edition. "Site" He offers to talk about the Soviet dystopia, the creators of which seemed to be trying to look into the future. And while many of the moments have become prophetic, the overall forecast has been bleak.



The meaning of the movie "Kin-dza-dza!" Of course, everyone can see something in this picture. Adherents of the Soviet system were sure that Uncle Vova and Gedevan represented the image of ordinary Soviet people. They say that they held on to each other, showed character and strength, were able to survive in the absurdity where they fell by chance.



Someone even believes that at the time when it was customary to scold the USSR, Danelia spoke of it exclusively positively. And the proof is that in the film ordinary Soviet people from a moral point of view are head above the inhabitants of Plyuk and Alpha.



Over the years, however, viewers have found something new in the film. And those who at the first viewing laughed, after a couple of years, watched the film with some anxiety. Today, what is happening on the screen makes few people smile.

Take at least the same Gedevan, who was a freshman student of the Textile Institute. At every turn, he encounters the contempt of aliens. After all, they consider him absolutely unnecessary and useless patsak.

Although this young man himself is a representative of a quite necessary profession. He just doesn’t have all the skills and experience. However, because of this, he is directly told that he is not needed.

Today, many young professionals face such lack of demand and biased relations. And even the most high-quality, useful and practical education does not provide any guarantees and prospects.



What's the point? The modern viewer is increasingly wondering what the meaning of the film "Kin-dza-dza!". Was this really a satire of capitalist society? A society that even converted water into fuel and now eats edible plastic?

Or is it a film about life in the USSR? Musicians in cages as a reference to Soviet censorship. Pervasive scarcity (even the gravitsap needs to be “pulled out”). Rusty flying ashes as a reference to outdated cars and backward appliances, which were the limit of dreams of Soviet people.



And what is worth a crumpled pack of "Cosmos", carelessly thrown into the garbage by the foreman of Uncle Vova? How many analogies can be drawn with this one episode from the movie these days! I remember the phrase “the government on another planet lives, native”.



Probably, this old film is worth revisiting today to look for the hidden meanings that Danelia laid. And also write in the comments, which moments from "Kin-dza-dza!" you remember the most.
