Has tried to recollect one of these days names of our films love, and the first, that has for some reason come to mind, there was «a Twist of fate, or With easy steam». The Protagonist of a film Evgenie Lukashin, being in a condition of strong alcoholic intoxication, gets to another's city and neumyshlenno gets into apartment of the citizen of Hope SHevelevoj. Being unable realise the act and its harmful results, citizen Lukashin refuses to recognise socially-dangerous character of perfect act then relations between Hope SHevelevoj and its potential spouse citizen Ippolitom become object of offence Lukashina. Anything to itself of the romanticist!
However, later friends have prompted to me, that we have also other films about love: «Love and pigeons» or «Three poplars on Plyuschikha», for example. I remember these films badly, but well I remember a film «Love young Nak», removed ten years ago Thai director Nonzi Nimibutrom. To tell the truth, for the life I saw a large quantity of films about love. Hundreds. Thousand. But till now for some reason it seems to me, that the cinema about love should be removed just how has made it ten years ago Khun Nonzi.
Born in 1962 in Thai province Nonthaburi, Nonzi Nimibutr after the termination of Bangkok university Silapakorn any time removed preview trailers and videoclips. Having achieved certain success in a media advertising field, in the late nineties Nonzi decides to test the forces in the present cinema. It was time when in Thailand there was a so-called cinema of "a new wave» thanks to which the Thai cinema became known far outside of South East Asia.
Very often many film critics in the reviews speak about "youth" of a Thai cinema, holding back that fact, that the history of Thai cinema art has begun in the thirtieth years of the last century. This period, by the way, is considered till now "Golden Age" of a Thai cinema; then such masterpieces of Thai mute film as «Never would think» have been shot and «Has carried doubly».
Then there has come an era of sound cinema. At Thai cinemas for duplication of foreign films began to take for work of the translators who are carrying out synchronous offscreen text translation of a film during a film session. Here is how recollects this time vledelets the first cinema on island Phuket mister Vichit On-ranong:
«Brought different films: in the Chinese and Japanese languages. The woman owning four foreign languages that was extremely an unusual occurrence for our small island worked for us at a cinema as the translator. Perhaps, then it in general was the unique polyglot on Phuket. We paid for simultaneous interpretation to it of fifteen thousand bat in a month – very good money the then.»
In 1977 the special government decree had been considerably increased duties by hire in Thailand of films of the Hollywood companies and Hollywood declared to Thailand boycott. The released niche was occupied there and then with Thai film studios. The quantity of the new Thai films which have left on screens only in 1978, has passed for one and a half hundreds.
In atmosphere of Thai cinema boom there passed adolescence of director Nonzi Nimibutra. Recollecting the youth, Khun Nonzi noticed, that the quantity of Thai films leaving in hire was not reflected in any way in quality of pictures and the majority of films of the end of the seventieth were simply disgusting.
«I would not want, that at us again stamped films in hundreds, - he has told in 2001 in the teleinterview devoted to an exit on screens of a film« Revenge JAn Gifts ». – Twenty films in a year – it is quite enough. I even would tell, that one new film in a year provided that it would be possible then to name this film the Film from the big letter would suffice us also.»
In 1997, in a year of the Asian financial crisis, Nonzi Nimibutr decides to leave advertising and to be engaged in shootings of pictures which not only involved a spectator audience in Thailand, but also guaranteed success of a Thai cinema outside of the country. The film “Deng Berli and young gangsters”, collected record cash desk in 75 million bat became the first film of the director. However, following film Khuna Nonzi was even more successful. It was the film history based on very old Thai legend. History about love young Nak.
Speak, before shootings of this film Nonzi Nimibutr some days have spent in prays. Praying to day and night, Khun Nonzi asked from spirit Nak to resolve to it to remove film history about love of girl Nak to the husband, history about the love winning death. I will not retell to you the film maintenance; it will be much better, if you sometime look him. I will tell only, that, having looked «Love young Nak», I have understood, that the best declaration of love in a movieland after film Nonzi Nimibutra any more will not be.
This explanation will occur on the forty fifth minute of a film: the protagonist, husband Nak, will wake up at night, leaves on street and will find Nak in a court yard, pounding fig.
- Why you here so late pound rice? – He will ask the wife.
- I am afraid, that to you will not suffice for a breakfast, - will answer it Nak. – I wish to prepare for you as much as possible fig. I do not know, how long I still can care of you.
In this tremendous, other-wordly film episode explanation Nak in love to the husband is hidden under grey laces of household, daily phrases. Probably, something similar on force of influence is possible at desire to find in the world literature. Probably, as in a world cinema there are scenes more feasibly. Probably. But I am stronger than anything on degree of emotional influence on the spectator yet did not see.
To tell the truth, I quite understand, that from the cinema point of view the film «Love young Nak» is not irreproachable. Force of this picture consists in shattering emotional blow which Khun Nonzi brings down on the spectators, sending them in a long emotional knockout. Having looked it once, you already hardly will forget a love story of one girl from village Prakanong.
If you sometime find this film, look it, please, cautiously. There is a risk, that the history young Nak will blow up your tired heart. Will pull out it to hell with all arteries and will place on the place released in a thorax your sobbing memory. Will etch its music of grief. Will incinerate sympathy fire. Whether yes a little that else can happen with hearts of those who will venture to look this very Thai cinema. If, of course, these daredevils in general have such part of an organism - heart.
