Hello, friends. Let's digress a little and watch a good feature film.
But let's just look a little from a different angle, namely, paying more attention to the background. We must pay tribute, the film is good for everyone. The director, the cameraman, the cast, and other employees involved in the film did an excellent job. But now it's not about them. The film was shot clearly not in the pavilions of Mosfilm, but in a completely specific Moscow house. And in spite of 1982 (the year of filming), this house actually contains the rudimentary remnants of those "smart houses" that were everywhere throughout Russia in the 19th century.
So, the house where this film was filmed. This is house number 11 on Gogolevsky Boulevard. Then he was like this:
And now he's like this:
As you can see, the house is practically unrecognizable. The third floor was added, a balcony was attached, the porch was most likely completely redone. And this was an ordinary Moscow house, of which there were hundreds in old Moscow. But let's take a look at footage from the movie.
Promotional video:
As you can see, there are columns inside the rooms of the communal apartment. In the course of the film, these columns stand in all rooms, somewhere separately, somewhere they were mounted in partitions. What are they for inside the house? You don't need to be an architect to understand that all the partitions in the communal apartment were created artificially, and initially this house had a large columnar hall. Who then lived in this house and why were such halls needed? One of the authors in LiveJournal was right, who wrote that sometime before the end of the 19th century, completely different people lived in the cities of Russia, who suddenly suddenly disappeared, and the Sharikovs and Shvonders came to their place. The fact that these people disappeared has been proven many times over by photographs of cities with empty streets. And those people were of a completely different culture and had technologies that modern people only dream of. And modern people turned the remnants of those technologies into places of religious worship, because they could not understand their structure at all. Well, or simply called these items jewelry of the era of classicism.
Pay attention to the interior of the bed. It's not even a Russian merchant style.
And this is the same fireplace, which is already described in the article: "The history of alternative energy. Fireplace". Only the cups, apparently out of ignorance, were left as decoration. According to the plot of the film, there were no athletes there, so it is very difficult to confuse them with sports awards.
And what are these outlined details on the wall of the house? Obviously, there was a balcony on this house. But only for some unknown reason, it was completely demolished.
As you can see, the electrical wiring in the house looks like a foreign element. Throughout the movie, you can see how ugly she looks. Obviously, in the project, the house was conceived without wiring at all, but oddly enough, everywhere in every room there are seats for lighting fixtures on the ceiling. And they were clearly not using candles.
What are those strange jugs in the background? Compare them to the tops of the wireless poles listed in the article "A Very Mysterious Object". I wonder what could have been poured there at all?
Very interesting railings on the stairs. And again with the metallic colors discussed in previous articles.
On the way, there was still a balcony on the house, judging by the strange shape of the window on the second floor. But this balcony was most likely with a power plant. The balcony was demolished by the Bolsheviks for a reason, because kept some secrets. The same can be said for the porch. Looking at the quality of the house and the quality of the porch, one cannot help thinking that the porch was also demolished along with the balcony, and that what is in the cinema is a remake. Well, judging by the fact that the columned hall inside the floor faced this balcony and porch, it further strengthens the version of the house power plant demolished by the Bolsheviks.
All stoves have strange details (I'll write about them later). I also ask you to pay attention - nowhere from such stoves are chimneys in the form in which everyone imagines them, even if only in the form of thickenings on the wall.
In general, an interesting film. I recommend, look again with a different look.
Until next time.
