The Fascinating History of Ukrainian Cinema - A Documentary

  • Every nation has its own art. Some form of creativity fed by traditions, folklore, cultural and historical heritage, as well as social and ethnic characteristics. Korean cinema is different from Thai or Mexican cinema. We would never mistake Almodovar's work for that of Iñarritu or Wong Kar-Wai. Nevertheless, modern cinema is a train on the railroad of globalization, and Hollywood is its finest car. It destroys individuality for the sake of the mass consumer. That’s not meant to be an insult, it’s just the way the market works. And yet, this approach is failing. In recent years, films that were shot thousands of miles from the dream factory have been garnering more and more attention, even at the Oscars. Today, I’m going to tell you about the original cinema of my homeland. A cinematic tradition whose very right to exist was stripped away. Filmmaking that was drowned in censorship. Cinema that has resisted, and unfortunately continues to resist the whims of dictators. Today we’re going to be discussing films that were made in Ukraine.
    Update: An excerpt from the film The Cranes Are Flying has been removed due to copyright

    What a ride this was, a couple of these films were actually a part of my film studies program in college. The editing, pacing, and writing of this documentary is absolutely incredible. This should be required watching for any and all lovers of cinema.

    Truly a great video. I believe one thing that will change will be the language of Ukrainian cinema, as it reflects our world today. Many of the films you feature include either Russian or "Russified Ukrainian". Even Zelensky's famous TV comedy series uses a very Russifed version of language which was commonly spoken in the central and Eastern parts of the country. However, after Putin's full invasion, Ukrainians are increasingly choosing to reject Russian words and idioms - speaking Ukrainian is part of the resistance struggle. You can bet future Ukrainian cinema will reflect this linguistic assertion.

    It is interesting that the clip for The Cranes are Flying was removed from this documentary due to copyright. That movie is the property of Russia's Mosfilm studios - and even though the entire movie is free here on youtube, it seems the Russian film company did not want to be included in this video on the virtues of Ukrainian cinema.
    It is very notable that most of the Mosfilm catalogue was suddenly placed free on youtube at the time of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

    • @OkoloKino
      @OkoloKino  10 месяцев назад +2

      In addition, this isn't just an ordinary clip; it features one of the greatest pacifist monologues in cinema history, comparable to Charlie Chaplin's iconic speech in 'The Dictator.’

      @Vlad65WFPReviews 10 месяцев назад +1

      @@OkoloKino That is interesting. Let me make two more points. One, your documentary mentions the "Marvel hero" style of war movie now coming out of Russia. Recently I analyzed the style of recent war movies - and especially since 2017 they have produced at least 18 WW II features emphasizing action and showing heroic Red Army soldiers and pilots destroying the German invaders. (Of course earlier films such as 2012"s Stalingrad also did this). All these films emphasized "the threat from the West" and Russia's heroic duty to triumph - totally consistent with Putin's world view. More reflective and personal films about the cost of war, which were part of Soviet and Russian cinema in the past, have been absent.
      Second, as the son of Ukrainians born in the West, I feel an emotional need to reject Russian culture, which is awkward. Directed by Ukrainian Bodnarchuk, War and Peace is an amazing film. At this point in history I am especially struck by Prince Andrei's cold speech on the night before the Battle of Borodino when he says he would simply kill every French invader who has invaded and destroyed his homeland. (This is clearly how many Ukrainians feel about the Russians right now). However, despite the film's humanism, it embraces "being Russian" which is troubling for Ukrainians whose nation and families are under attack.
      Thank you for your excellent video - I am finding some of the films discussed on youtube. Slava Ukrainii.

    • @OkoloKino
      @OkoloKino  10 месяцев назад +2

      Yes, I've come across some profound analyses of propaganda in their recent films. They've been cultivating animosity towards Western civilization for years. The conversation has shifted from the war with Germany to a generalized 'war with the West.' The narrative now downplays World War II, focusing instead on their own version of the Great War, marked by different dates and key historical moments. In many ways, it seems as if nothing has changed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Progressive society was duped for years, led to believe in the democratic values of the country. Even after the events of 2014, and continuing into the present, some people still view this as solely Putin's war, failing to recognize that the population has been inundated with lies. This level of conditioning and manipulation is almost Orwellian, akin to the characters in '1984.'

      @@OkoloKino Yes, the more educated and the ones who could be the basis of opposition have largely fled the state. Many of those who remain do not wish to believe the "terrible truth" that Russia may actually be the aggressor - this is never an easy thing - and will therefore be more willing to believe the convenient lies which allow them to passively accept the dictatorship. Facing truths may force you to take action and taking action condemns you to lengthy prison sentences.
