Medical history "scenario — film"


This is natural. The theme of "script — film" is broader than thinking about workshop problems, and behind it, we see the quality problems of our cinema. And this, in the end, is what determines whether the film will be accepted by the audience or will leave them indifferent...


There has always been some discontent between screenwriters and film directors, and it has perhaps been natural: there is an inevitable dissimilarity between the manuscript of a literary screenplay and a film based on this work, which is natural, based on the very nature of the difference between the language of literature and the language of cinema. Translating from one language to another can be fraught with both losses and great gains.


All this is quite elementary. And it would hardly be worth subjecting the scriptwriters' complaints about film directors to a wide discussion if it were only an inaccurate "interlinear" translation of the script into a film. Although I must say that at one time I felt the vulnerability of the screenwriter on my own skin: the rather popular film "To me, Mukhtar!", shot according to my script, is much further away from me than my novel "Mukhtar", based on which the script was written by me.


However, now those distant times already seem idyllic to me. Something didn't turn out the way the screenwriters would have liked, but something was incomparably richer and better. The main thing was that a good picture was coming out on the screen. Who is the culprit of this celebration — the director or the screenwriter — is ultimately quite a secondary matter for the viewer. Let's say, as they say, the whole pie of fame goes to the director and the actors. We don't hold grudges against it in our hearts. For the general audience, the screenwriter has "no figure," but never mind the figure.


The depth of the current disagreements between the screenwriters and the director has acquired such a clinical scale that it is necessary to take a closer look at this disease. It is already beginning to be infectious.


As for me, I'm just one of the patients. The symptoms are debilitating insomnia, accompanied by copious internal monologues. The medicine is horse doses of valerian. I don't know any more healing and I'm not convinced that it will be opened in the foreseeable future.


As for the history of my illness, it doesn't make sense to classify it, it's typical.


At the very beginning of the work, even before the first shooting of the film "Trouble", the actor Alexey Petrenko told me:


— I am not suitable for this role by my texture. I'll have to adapt it for myself: I won't be able to get used to the image you've painted.


— Well, what about the theater? I asked naively. — You don't do that in the theater, do you play what the playwright wrote there?


— It's different in the theater. There I have time to get used to it, I have time to memorize the role. But here, on the set, there won't be any real rehearsals, which means I have to play "from myself," and the lyrics will come from myself — please don't be offended by that...


Further — more. The artist Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina, again in the first and only conversation with me, asked:


— I hope that you, as the author of the script, will be democratic?


"What do you mean?" I didn't understand.


— Well, in the sense that you won't find fault if I change the text of my role.


But ego is not everything either. The main blow of fate was yet to come.


It was with the greatest excitement and trepidation that I looked forward to meeting the performer of the most important role for me, the role in which the whole meaning of the future film was focused, that is, in fact, what I wrote the script for. I'm talking about the old woman, the village grandmother. Even in terms of size, in terms of the amount of screen space allocated to her, it was the most important role.
