A great artist - not one who cries and the one who makes it to do the viewer. In this sense, cinema is a fundamentally different art than the theatre. We have a lot of stars of cinema. Take, for example, Tom cruise and let him go on stage in the role of hamlet. In 20 minutes it will be clear that he is not "pulling".

The "Oscar" creates the illusion of global recognition and is a testimony to the undeniable qualities of the films, which, of course, not a fact. The very wording of the category "best foreign language film" - should invoke laughter from filmmakers in the world, is essentially a segregation of world cinema from the Anglophone world (USA, England, Australia and New Zealand) that, in my opinion, is outmoded idea of the West about their cultural dominance.

Culture determines politics and not Vice versa. On the basis of culture it is necessary to change the mind... a Simple example to teach him not to steal, we must not talk about honesty. Honesty can not be taught. That stealing is bad, everyone knows. It is necessary to teach people respect money. And respect for money in all the world one of the most important ethical forms of democracy.

The most important reform that needs to happen in Russia - reform of the national consciousness. This is the Peter I was trying to do, and then Lenin. Only they did not understand that it is not necessary to do with politics.

The woman often throws off the skin. Still the woman is man, and man is a creature of the surface, it is important how she looks. Therefore, for women very important plumage. But for men, say roughly, an important purse. Maybe smart purse, that is, his male essence, the content of the mind. Women and men appreciate it, and not how he's dressed.

The British are masters of foresight! The Queen of England makes a curtsey to the Chinese Communists, it gives it a Golden carriage - did you see this?

Putin is the leader that we need, that is why Russia in the XXI century the best chance. And when the "Ministry of truth" of the total Western world is outraged that Putin "wants to change the existing world order", it modestly fails to mention that today is world order corresponding to the interests of America.

Man must live in relatively adverse conditions - then he's a man. Absolute wealth makes a man an animal, and it's barbarism is modern barbarism.

I fear death because I have desires. While there is a desire, man is afraid of death. And when desires no stops.

The world's villains are no more. The main villain today is political correctness. She creates absolute mediocrity in politics and in everything else.

... categorical CLARITY is not the best position to somehow closer to understanding the truth. A careful attempt to assess characteristic of Eastern wisdom. Today's European peremptory is largely the result of the abundance of instantly available information on the Internet, where banal truth mixed with brilliant insights and get lost in the ocean full of trash. The abundance of information has led to trivialization of the concepts and the desacralization of the world values and "CLARITY". Such clarity can be very dangerous and destructive.

England has always feared competition with Russia. She constantly pushed Russia with other States. Half a century ago, the British Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston admitted, "how hard it is to live with Russia when nobody is fighting." There is nothing to add! Trying to weaken Russia, the British have always successfully fought us by proxy - French, German, Turkish. It seems to me that the revolutionary propaganda of Mayakovsky times 20 years it meets reality. There is a world capital, "three fat men", about which all ingeniously guessed Olesha - looks and world imperialism.

Few people understand that Russian culture is a huge archaic stove, which lies in the whole of Eurasia and dates back even to the Slavs, and to prelevant to the pagan times. Inherited from Byzantium we got Christianity, but did not get any Jewish scholasticism, Greek philosophy or Roman law. And this is our fault, and our advantage. This tectonic plate while no one was able to move. And any power it will be structured according to its performance: what it should be.

Talent is the ability to Express original world.
