Now the same pyramid scheme top 5 but with men

the amount of Writing man damn!!!

yea i mean. big surprise. innokenty smoktunovsky who was already covered just yesterday + what to watch i've done a few years ago, most links dead anyway at this point i bet, there really isnt anything to cover left besides my ever-expanding commentary on the acting thanks to the arrival of cherk. what i still havent mentioned is до будущей весны that i love despite never watching because he was literally upstaged by a baby. dont fucking care for him if i come to this movie it's always for the baby.

also yea we all know, cherkasov. you should've been here to witness our history that spans over 5 years, the sudden rise to the top is actually shocking. but i just Knew, Felt it as early as 2 years ago even, i'd do similar annual lists elsewhere and they'd ask for best actor of the year, i'd shrug and be compelled to put cherk in there and dont really know why. but it felt right and look at it all now huh. at this point in my investigation i think he's not second best, but is on the same plain as smoktun standing on the other side of it due to different approaches, but also c'est la vie that he got fucked over by himself, and by the times of cinematic styles back then, and then also by post-stalin government. i also think a top five of his doesnt tell shit about The Range, it all comes together when you also consider his other works that are barely watchable so F

1. what do you think that time he got tasked with playing A SINGLE STRAND OF SEAWEED in sadko while still working in operetta with shalyapin. i am actually in love. "i was told to play a strand of seaweed, and im sure you couldnt even see me from where i was on stage, but i got down to business anyway" my god we used to have Real Theater Shalyapin as Sadko: AAAAAAAAAA OOOOO LET ME THE FUCK OUTTTT Octopus: blblblblblblbllb Sea queen to the sea king: when are we getting a sea divorce Cherkasov in the background:

the fucking TRAGEDY that i wasnt there to see it what the FUCK, literally his best role full stop. he peaked before he even started. 2. everything else, sure :/ just as powerful :// i mean yea second best for me is spring always, as per my tradition of loving scrungly non-consequential roles. sometimes it shouldn't take much ye know, but thats where the best effort hides. it's a rare work of his that is realistic and not like theatrical or stylised (re: ivan) and his character there is simply peak man, one of the most guys, a walking dream. AND it's all silley! and love is there! literally what else do you fucking want! watch spring now i've fixed the subs too!!! 3. all remains to people maybe? strange to me because yea i just subbed it and watched it all wrong so it never had the desired effect on me. thats the closest we got to new bullshit-free cinema style with him and i just appreciate it, plus his character is very charming n all and the movie itself is Nice. maybe it's even more telling if you know the backstory, after stalin's death he as a fave got an avalanche of shit thrown over him and by 1963 when all remains to people was made, he didnt have a single movie in 7 years, because all that time and DURING production he was actively shat on by fucking pyriev specifically as well who for some reason tried his utter hardest to make sure his career dies. cherk has outlived his abilities, his style is too theatrical, he no longer can act, like the shit pyriev was spewing shocked the director of the film. my man tovstonogov rescued it all (STAN BDT WATCH HANUMA) and all that time cherk was aware of what was happening and was shaking like a leaf with nerves. imagine being like a five times decorated most famous actor currently shaking about being accepted. but cherk never had any grievances towards anyone during this period, and look at what came out. accused of outliving his own self and being locked in theatrics. and he did all remains to people. maybe it's telling. 4. the children of captain grant bc pog anel <3 his only crime was not being on screen enough, that's where his kiddie theater + pantomime skills come in and he's just so scrungly <333 the plasticity of it all you could hardly believe he then was hawk-like unmoving ivan. plus cherk is a fucking devastating crier it just hits so fucking hard when he does it, and pog anel does cry and oof. 5. debating with myself but peter the great because LMAOOOOO. the utter fucking chaos of it all. dude literally pissing crying every time he's on screen he's SO pathetic SO just scrungly again i just keep coming back to it. The Range, smoktun's been so quiet since this dropped

3. oleg basilashvili aka bas. i keep these next two mostly to myself because some blorbos are for the eyes but some are for the heart only and you do not get to learn more.

1. CONTROVERSIAL but say a word for the poor hussar, solely, and i mean solely, because it was my sudden bas awakening. out of nowhere he upstaged gaft who i watched this movie for and the rest is history. the movie is so mid and i kept it out of ryazanov month on purpose even, and his character is once again Scrunge, but his performance of a pathetic little bitch was just... i dont know it awakened things in me. 2. ez, guess it's station for two fellas, also a lot of good acting to look at plus wow. peak malewife archetype i think ryazanov reached the height of it with this film. soooo pathetic omg <3 im so glad my sudden bas awakening lead me first to autumn marathon that i actually hate with every fibre of my being, which then forced me to say fuck to my sleep and watch 2 hours of station and believe in Life again, the ways this movie shook me is something i always chase with cinema. 3. master and margarita sure, his voland is tired, blabla not like in the book everything, but man he's cool. the more i rewatch the series the more i appreciate him, just the presence alone. 4. the play i saw life in bdt with freindlich, legit thought WOAA SMOKTUN LEVEL there. the play had so many funny moments, his character talks with a youngster who's like "yea we suck face" he's like what. the kid is like "well, we kiss" and right at the end of the play, the literal final line after he almost died on freindlich was like "well, dear, should we, as they say, SUCK FACE??" [thunderous applause] what scenes. 5. lmaoo fine. autumn marathon. i hate is so much. that counts as a memorable emotion innit. nobody gets to say the movie is bad in my presence and when bas is involved. but god i fucking hate it. soo bad.

4. valentin gaft actually <3 i even have two poetry books of his, he is not just scrungly he is The Scrunge himself and also oh my!

1. THE WIZARDS???? AT LAST????? my god peak gaft movie that he hated, the comedy of it all he's so great!! a great example of a villain who's just a little meow meow, love satan with my whole heart also best movie ever!!! 2. an orphan of kazan because he genuinely smiles there, also the movie is Nice. you cant just skip straight to it, you have to Work to see gaft smile 3. hello im your aunt, all he does is drink up and square up!!!! movie's fucking iconic and im glad he's just there to contribute to it, im just so glad he was a part of my childhood without me realising, i Feel my faves in my fucking bones. also boom and he shows off his muscles and everyone is shook. 4. my dearly beloved detective i guess, lester is soooo iconic and fuking NOBODY appreciates it here it drives me insane. HE'S GOT THE BEST FUCKING ONE LINERS IN THERE NOBODY CARES ABOUT HOLMES WATSON WHATEVER TF!!!! year ten of me being lester's only fan 5. i could've said 12, i could've said garage, i could've said voland, but i will say those two weird ass shows where he shares scenes with his wife because holy shit :'))

5. bro man i dont know even, i do have a post that summarises all my faves at the time and with some of them, the fling is defs over or we're just Normal about it. they are now in the lesser bucket so let me instead list all the times somebody i was watchin the movie for got upstaged by somebody else entirely

1. tikh got upstaged by yank in to kill a dragon and how else, the second he got literally groped by yank it was all over for the old man. 2. smoktun being upstaged by a baby what a classic 3. cherk's last movie where he was for .24 seconds anyway that got stolen completely by strzhelchik as nikolay the first, a lot of Feelings were reconsidered this month 4. bas for gaft rip

Художник Maria AMARAL

Ах, если бы она была жива, Я всё бы отдал за неё, всё бросил. Слова, слова, слова, слова, слова… Мы все их… после смерти произносим. И пишутся в раскаяньи стихи, Но в глубине души навеки будут с нами Грехи, грехи, грехи, грехи, грехи… Которые не искупить словами. /Валентин Гафт

Oh, if she were alive, I'd give up everything for her, I'd give up everything. Words, words, words, words, words… We all say them… after death. And we write poems in remorse, But in the depths of our souls will always be with us Sins, sins, sins, sins, sins That can't be atoned for with words. / Valentin Gaft

✍📜 Wonderful poems by Valentin Gaft.

Me and you, are there just two of us? Oh, what self-deception. With us are walls, sconces, wallpaper, Night, champagne, sofa.

There is silence in the apartment with us And there are drops outside the windows, Everything in this world is with us Sank down onto the bed. We are just points of the universe, Someone's fine carving Our rise and fall It's called fate.

We breathe into each other's faces, The clock strikes at midnight, And there is someone above us Everything was decided for us a long time ago.

Woland-Gaft. The Master and Margarita

In my opinion, the film adaptation with the participation of Valentin Gaft in the role of Woland was by no means the most successful of all known productions based on this novel (1994). However, the very image of Woland, embodied by Valentin Gaft, seems ideal to me. This is the iconic Woland. Better than him to play the role of Messire could only Conrad Veidt, probably.

He was wearing an expensive grey suit and imported shoes of a matching colour. His grey beret was cocked rakishly over one ear; under his arm he carried a stick with a black knob shaped like a poodle's head. He looked to be a little over forty. Mouth somehow twisted. Clean-shaven. Dark-haired. Right eye black, left — for some reason — green. Dark eyebrows, but one higher than the other. In short, a foreigner.

Then the writers long and unsuccessfully wonder what country he came from and who he is by nationality:

`A German...' thought Berlioz. `An Englishman...' thought Homeless (Ivan Besdomnyi). 'My, he must be hot in those gloves.'

'Excuse me, please,' the approaching man began speaking, with a foreign accent but without distorting the words, 'if, not being your acquaintance, I allow myself... but the subject of your learned conversation is so interesting that...'

Here he politely took off his beret and the friends had nothing left but to stand up and make their bows.

'No, rather a Frenchman ...' thought Berlioz.

'A Pole? ...' thought Homeless (Ivan Besdomnyi).

'You've been invited here as a consultant, Professor?' asked Berlioz.

'Yes, as a consultant.'

"You're German?' Homeless (Ivan Besdomnyi) inquired.'I? ...' the professor repeated and suddenly fell to thinking. 'Yes, perhaps I am German ...' he said.

After the death of Mikhail Berlioz in a tram accident, Ivan Besdomnyi tries to pursue Woland and his entourage:

Ivan gasped, looked into the distance, and saw the hateful stranger. He was already at the exit to Patriarch's Lane; moreover, he was not alone. The more than dubious choirmaster had managed to join him. But that was still not all: the third in this company proved to be a tom-cat, who appeared out of nowhere, huge as a hog, black as soot or as a rook, and with a desperate cavalryman's whiskers. The trio set off down Patriarch's Lane, the cat walking on his hind legs. Ivan sped after the villains and became convinced at once that it — would be very difficult to catch up with them. The trio shot down the lane in an instant and came out on Spiridonovka.

Director of the theater Variety Styopa Likhodeyev (Stephen Evildoer), Mikhail Berlioz's neighbor in communal apartment number 50, wakes up hungover and sees a stranger in front of him. Subsequently, the stranger will be Woland:

'Professor of black magic Woland,' the visitor said weightily, seeing Styopa's difficulty, and he recounted everything in order. Yesterday afternoon he arrived in Moscow from abroad, went immediately to Styopa, and offered his show to the Variety.

In the end, Woland's entire retinue appears in apartment number 50: the jesters Koroviev-Kletchatyi-Fagot (Koroviev-Checkered-Bassoon) and Behemoth the Cat (Cat Behemoth), as well as the demon Azazello:

Before the Satanic Ball:

'Hella, it's time,' said Woland, and Hella disappeared from the room. 'My leg hurts, and now this

'Allow me,' Margarita quietly asked.

Woland looked at her intently and moved his knee towards her. The liquid, hot as lava, burned her hands, but Margarita, without wincing, and trying not to cause any pain, rubbed it into his knee.

Finale of the ball in May in a Moscow apartment:

Woland was in some sort of black chlamys with a steel sword on his hip. He quickly approached Margarita, offered her the cup, and said imperiously: 'Drink!'

Margarita became dizzy, she swayed, but the cup was already at her lips, and voices, she could not make out whose, whispered in both her ears: 'Don't be afraid, Queen ... don't be afraid, Queen, the blood has long since gone into the earth.

On the balustrade of a Moscow house shortly before leaving the city:

'And what is that smoke there on the boulevard?'

That is Griboedov's burning,' replied Azazello.

'It must be supposed that that inseparable pair, Koroviev and Behemoth, stopped by there?'

'Of that there can be no doubt, Messire.'

Again silence fell, and the two on the terrace gazed at the fragmented, dazzling sunlight in the upper-floor windows of the huge buildings facing west. Woland's eye burned like one of those windows, though Woland had his back to the sunset.

Visit of Matthew Levi:

But here something made Woland turn his attention to the round tower behind him on the roof. From its wall stepped a tattered, clay-covered, sullen man in a chiton, in home-made sandals, black-bearded.

'Hah!' exclaimed Woland, looking mockingly at the newcomer. 'Least of all would I expect you here! What have you come with, uninvited guest?''I have come to see you, spirit of evil and sovereign of shadows,' the newcomer replied, glowering inimically at Woland...

ТИГР

Если б знали его предки,

Что за рвом, водой, за сеткой

Мечется их родич редкий,

Наступая на объедки,

Что в пижамках его детки,

Что бросают им конфетки,

Что полоски, как пометки,

Тени черной, страшной клетки.

#valentin gaft #i am- #you know how much he means #there is nothing else i can express

И в чистый день пришли ко мне стихи,  Как драгоценный плод игры словесной,  Под каждой буквой с подписью небесной.  Лицо к лицу, глаза в глаза.  И тихо вздрагивают плечи.  И нет конца моим стихам,  И нет конца у этой встречи... 

/Валентин Гафт

And on a pure day poems came to me, Like the precious fruit of a game of words, Beneath each letter with the signature of heaven. Face to face, eye to eye. And quietly my shoulders shudder. There's no end to my poems And there is no end to this meeting...

/ Valentin Gaft
