Сегодня, как и планировал, побывал на movie club'e - это разновидность speaking'a. Цели у меня біли совершенно шпионские: узнать, что оно такое, как происходит, кто участвует и их уровень владения английским. Поєтому я не сказал ни слова по английски, но написать решился.
The Hunter
It's an Australian movie. I had known it at the end. Through the all movie I tried to understand what country is it. It looks like Britain, then I decided it is Canada, but it was Tasmania.
What about the movie... It is so unusual. I can't name it neither a mainstream movie, nor an art-house. It connects both of this streams, and mixes them with the Australian style, maybe. People, who have come to the movie club decided it is an art-house movie. But I can't say so. When I look art-house movies they bring me to think about situations, problems etc. But this movie don't. I think the problem of it lies in the screenplay. There are two main (maybe main for me) lines. The first one, the main, is about the man and his job killing a tiger. The second line is a correlation of this man with the family, that have losted a father and husband. I decided, that the main line almost empty. It contains the main story about the job of the hunter. We can see him near the fire, under the rain, in the forest, but he don't doing anything. He goes through the forest, makes traps, goes away. Then he take empty traps and come back to the house. And the second line is more important I think. Here we can see how the man step by step become the part of family. At first he meet children. Their mother is sick. There is dirty everywhere, there is no electricity and hot water. He tried to go away, but finally must come back. So he tried to fix this problems: he clean up a bath, fix a generator, make the mother of family become health. Then main hero make things that was began by the farther, which died. He become a part of this family and when he planning a weekend with he picnic the phone call make him remember about his job.
As you've seen, I describes the main line in few words, but the second line take more words.
So this movie make me confused and I can't say, that it's a good one...
