What the audience remembered the opening of the Cannes Film Festival 2022
International Cannes Film Festival in 2022 began on May 17. The leadership considered the position “outside politics” inappropriate, given the unfolding war in Ukraine. Therefore, there will be no delegation or media from Russia at the event. And at the opening ceremony of the festival, President Vladimir Zelensky was the first to speak.
The hall applauded Vladimir Alexandrovich standing. And the performance itself did not just add to the collection of landmarks in Zelensky’s career. He drew the attention of the world community to the important problems of the modern world. And exactly how it was deserves a separate article. Of course, it will be about cinema.
Cannes Film Festival 2022: I want to tell you a story. And these words began not one story. This is more important than the end than the beginning. And it's not an open ending. He could finally end a battle that has been going on for more than 100 years. It started with the arrival of the train. From him came a hero and antagonist. So there was a confrontation on the screen, which turned into real life, Zelensky began his speech.
The President of Ukraine draws a parallel between cinema and our lives. According to him, it depends on what our future will be. The worst dictators of the twentieth century highly valued cinema. However, the legacy they left behind is captured in eerie documentary chronicles.
The first ever Cannes Film Festival was to begin on September 1, 1939. Instead, World War II struck the world. For 6 years, the cinema has been on the frontlines of this war with all of humanity. Cinema fought for freedom. And in the end, it did not allow dictators to capture the hearts of people, Zelensky continued.
Youtu Cinema has come a long way to freedom. But one of the most outstanding steps the President calls the appearance on the screens of the picture “the Great dictator”. Although the film did not destroy the dictator, Charlie Chaplin became a hero. Thanks to him. Cinema has ceased to be silent.
The cinema began to speak, and it was the voice of the future victory of freedom. “Hatred will pass, dictators will disappear, and their power will pass into the hands of the common people. And while people die, freedom will never disappear, Chaplin said.
Since that time, many years have passed, a huge number of great films were shot. It would seem that everyone has long understood that you can conquer people beautifully, gathering them near the screens. However, today people want to conquer the terrible, gathering them in bomb shelters. It seemed that full-scale wars that took the lives of thousands of people would never happen again.
But again, as then, there is a dictator in the world. People are once again fighting for freedom, and cinema must not be silent. Vladimir Alexandrovich talks about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022. We have often heard frightening phrases about war coming from the screens. Unfortunately, this is no longer a movie, but a reality.
Zelensky made a reference to Francis Coppola’s cult film Apocalypse Now. This is a picture of the terrible war in Vietnam. The phrase the president mentioned is, "Can you smell that?" It's napalm, son. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. The war in Ukraine also began this morning. Vilely, without warning, Russian troops invaded the territory of a sovereign state. And people woke up to the sound of explosions.
Vladimir Alexandrovich once again reminded of all the horrors that have already happened and are still happening in Ukraine through the fault of the Russian army. Bucha, Mariupol, Azovstal, hundreds of dead children and thousands of Ukrainians taken out of the country. No one knows how many of them will survive. But everyone knows who's to blame.
The President of Ukraine hopes that the cinema will not exist separately from what is happening now. The world needs a new Chaplin who can prove that cinema still has a voice. Zelensky again quotes a speech from the film “The Great Dictator”. Today, these words are more relevant and important than ever. Listen to them!

The civilized world will win this battle and the dictatorship will fall. Cinema should become a loud mouthpiece through which all voices fighting for freedom can be heard.
