Eugene Bazhenov (BadComedian). (№ 275709)

Taking particular bases and showing only one side of the coin, Mikhalkov took a pseudo-Arthouse cinema prepared for the anniversary of the 65th anniversary of victory over fascist invaders. While promoting his film as historically literate large-scale military canvas. And, let's say, we didn't notice many mistakes, and let the wonderful actors play more Mikhalkov, rather than their characters, but "Burnt by the sun" in contrast to "9th company," which the history had very little, shows no characters for whom I want to empathize; not a sense of courage, honor, duty, which was extracted victory. It shows the stupid narrow-minded deserters, cowards and moral monsters who were undoubtedly at that time, but somehow it seemed to me that they have to win very small ratio. <...>
Screaming right and left that "all sixty-five movies about the exploits and good people, it is time to remove other", I want to ask the question: how can you empathize with the bad characters? Not sugarcoated bad, like Hannibal Lecter, or the robbers from the movie "Fight", and that is bad? Should look like compassion to some rapist, murderer, traitor? How to develop a character that the viewer forgot how this character in the beginning of the movie killed their, and in the end, may 9, praises several other people, some other quality than the shown sample.
