Alexander from St. Petersburg? It's clear. We have been friends with him for a long time and correspond.
And now I'm resting, relaxing, so to speak. I thought I would write, but the brain does not want to work in any way, the bastard sleeps like a bear in a den. And okay, let him also rest for a week.
Today, when I sailed along the coral reef, I held my own beauty contest between its inhabitants. There were many contenders for the first place, which only fish I have not seen: striped and speckled, and square, and thin as a needle, and green as parrots, and black as crows. I really liked the fish with a lyre-shaped tail, all so colorful and motley. I thought that she would win, but then I saw something out of the ordinary, such a beauty appeared that it’s just right to marry her: bright yellow, fins circled around the contour, blue shadows in front of her eyes, lips with a red bow - as if specially for my competition dressed up. I immediately gave her the first place and gave it, it’s a pity that there was nothing to eat with me.
I'm already tired of you, probably, with my chatter?
Well, I ran. So long, Lana.
Persistence is a mark of excellence
Getting rid of their leaders, “Spartacus” and “Lion” remained true to themselves. For the third time in a season, the guests won with a score of 3: 2.
Just before the New Year, Spartak and Lev were unanimous in assessing the game of their leaders. The Red-Whites terminated contracts with Marcel Gossa And Josef Stumpel, and “Lion” left a whole group of players, which is headed by Ladislav Nagy. It was the parting with Nagy that caused the most questions: the club declares its intention to save money, and Ladislav himself says that they wanted to cut his salary by 20 percent, and were also accused of simulating an injury. There were suggestions in the press and among the fans that, having got rid of Nagy and three other players, “Lev” clears a place for Stumpel, but even if this is true, then by the time of the match former team with a potential future, Josef is listed as unemployed.
Parting with the leaders before the final segment of the championship is not the most pleasant wake-up call for the fans of Spartak and Lev. Doesn't this mean that both clubs felt that this season they were not destined to make it to the playoffs and it would be wiser to get rid of expensive players? Still, Nagy was part of a group of players ( Netik, Bartechko, Undergrowth, Mikush), which organized most of the goals of “Lev”, and criticized from all sides Goss- Second scorer of Spartak. As they say, it's bad with you, and without you. But the rivals, who came out this evening on the ice of “Winter”, had a chance to catch up with CSKA – fortunately, having lost eight games in a row, the army team themselves inspired timid hope in competitors. On the other hand, the loser in this meeting can be overtaken by Vityaz, and being the worst team in the Western Conference is a serious blow to the image.
Perhaps the quarterfinal match of the World Youth Championship between Russia and the Czech Republic was watched not only by fans, but also by the hockey players themselves. The author of the winning puck and best player this hardest battle was the Spartacist Grigory Zheldakov, in overtime plunged the puck into the net Mrazek. Who knows, maybe Egor Mikhailov was inspired precisely by the feat of his junior teammate. As soon as Mikhailov approached a foreign zone,
how with a powerful throw at the "nine" he printed Thomas Dubu. By the way, back in 2001, the gatekeeper of “Leva” not only took gold with the Czech “youth team”, but was also recognized by the organizers of the tournament the best goalkeeper championship. I wonder how fate awaits his follower in the “youth team” Peter Mrazek?
Having conceded already in the third minute, “Lion” made attempts to recoup. Shpirko from the right flank, he moved to the center, threw from a roundhouse, but did not hit the far corner. Tail danger throw Bartechko in the second half of the first period, but with him Kasutin did it, and Mamkin did not let Shpirko to finish. Rostislav Shpirko himself in one of the episodes famously threw from a roundhouse, moving from the flank to the center, but the puck missed the goal. “Lev” also had the opportunity to convert the majority, but so far Benoit was on the penalty box, there was not even a hint of danger in the zone of Muscovites. But at the end of the period, the “lions” had a shock, aggressively pressing the red-whites, and before the siren for a break, Netik got a great chance to equalize the score. “Lion” showed his fangs to his opponent.
Inspired by the relatively successful ending of the first period, after the break, “Lev” began to play more actively, and at the same time, the difference in throws increased significantly. The Slovaks, as it should be for a team playing on a small platform, threw a lot and from various points. Only in the second twenty minutes Kasutin was disturbed 14 times, while “Spartacus” was generous with only 6 shots. Spartak had a particularly hard time when Lev played in the majority for almost four minutes in a row. For a few seconds, Makarov, removed for an attack in the head area, even left the red and white three of them, but the hosts did not benefit from this. Except for two minutes Denis Makarov the arbitrators also issued a disciplinary fine, and he, having learned about such a decision, threw the stick on the bench with annoyance, like a spear.
The team from Poprad was led forward by its leaders. Nedorost threw more than once, Netik completed an excellent counterattack, and later the former CSKA forward brought Bartechko to a shock throw. The figurative expression “to stand with the whole team at the gate” Spartak decided to bring to life and the three of them settled down almost on the same line with Kasutin. Perhaps this pandemonium prevented the goalkeeper, but Lyuduchin managed to take the puck literally off the goal line.
“Spartak” did not sparkle in the second period with bright personalities, but if anyone can be distinguished, then the red-and-white Slovaks, who, with the onset of 2012, became two times less. Stefan Ruzicka for the second period, he delivered two shots, and one of his flank passes was crowned with a sharp shot from the brushes. Bagel was not so active in the attack, but he managed to push Alyosh Yezhek. When, due to their mutual removal, the teams lost weight by one player, and there was a little more free space on the court, Lyuduchin found Benois with a pass, who rolled onto the gate and doubled the score.
The history of meetings between Spartak and Lev claims that the score after 60 or even 65 minutes should be nothing more than 3:2 and certainly in favor of the visiting team. In order to continue the tradition in the third match, the red-whites had to try to lose the gained advantage. However, if you look at how teams play in the third periods, there is nothing surprising or supernatural in such a scenario. “Leo” is fourth in the league in terms of the game in the final segment of the match, while worse than “Spartak” in this indicator is only the hopeless outsider “Motorist”.
Team Radima Rulik continued to bend its line, and the Slovaks waited for the moment when the defenders of Spartak began to get nervous and make mistakes. In pursuit of “Lev”, the forward of the second link became a key figure Yaroslav Kristek. Already in the debut of the third period, after throwing at the gate, he could push the puck past Kasutin, but the hosts organized the first abandoned puck a little later. All the same Kristek broke through to the gate, and Valery Pokrovsky could not keep up with the opponent and allowed him to throw. Ivan Kasutin, who has only one "dry" match in the season behind him, did his best to keep his goal untouchable this time as well. However, after Kasutin coped with the first throw, Rostislav Shpirko, with humble contemplation Bodrova finished off the puck from the penny. Kristek scored the second point for performance when the team from Poprad played in the minority, and the defenders of Spartak once again pressed against the gate and let the Czech roll. Kristek responded to Mikush's pass from behind the gate and flashed Kasutin.
Before revealing the winner in the shootout, moments managed to create both teams. “Lev” was more aggressive, and even the fourth link of the Slovak team created panic on the guests' penny. key point the match could have been the stupidest removal of Stefan Ruzicka, who seemed to have broken the chain and attacked Sigalet in a foreign zone. Almost until the end of regular time, Rulik's wards played in the majority, created many chances, but could have missed - he did not convert his moment in the counterattack mosquito. Of those few moments that the Spartacists created, the passage through the center performed by Roman Lyuduchin stood out from the overall picture, who, on a feint, removed Strbaka, but Dube did not score, only taking off his mask in the fight against the goalkeeper.
In a series of post-match shootouts, Stefan Ruzicka was the real lucky one. The Slovak forward of “Spartak” seems to have laid Oak on the ice, but missed the moment for the throw. To everyone's amazement, the puck nevertheless leaked through the near shield, reached the second one and, with the help of a rebound, insidiously crawled into the goal. After two unsuccessful attempts, Mikush and Netik Ruzicka reincarnated as the author of the winning bullet, although in the 58th minute he claimed the role of the main villain.
Bella Adzeeva
“It seems to me that any sensitive person should understand that violence cannot change the world, and if it does, then only temporarily,” Martin Scorsese, who is celebrating his 70th birthday today, said in an interview, “the best, according to Americans, the director of our time, whose violent gangster films are mentioned among his favorites by Quentin Tarantino, and individual films are studied by the prosecutor's office for extremism. Whether it's taxi driver Travis Bickle, whose outward cruelty hides agonizing loneliness, or billionaire Howard Hughes, who made the whole world talk about himself, but failed to overcome his own fears, are masterfully embodied by Scorsese's favorite actors - Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio with whom he has been collaborating for many years. The first, according to Scorsese himself, saved him from death back in 1978, and the second was saved by the director himself - according to DiCaprio, thanks to Scorsese, he got rid of the role of a hero-lover and "became the actor he always wanted to be."
Raised in the same neighborhood of New York - Little Italy - Scorsese and De Niro met in 1972, when they were both in their thirties. Behind Scorsese was the one and only feature film "Who's Knocking on My Door?" De Niro played in eight films and even won the New York Film Critics Award. Director Brian De Palma, who directed it twice, learned that Scorsese was looking for an actor to play Johnny Boy in the film. "Mean Streets", and advised De Niro to try. The film about four Italian-American mafiosi was a success, but the real triumph was waiting for the Scorsese-De Niro duo three years later, when in 1976 it was released "Taxi driver".
In the center of the plot - 26-year-old Travis Bickle, a Vietnam War veteran, a loner, suffering from chronic insomnia. Having settled down to work as a taxi driver, every night through the car window he observes the cruelties of the peaceful life of New York, and the inability to establish relations with the girl he likes, Betsy, increases the feeling of loneliness and alienation. Travis hopes that the city will be cleansed of the vices that have filled it, but the reality is too cruel. After meeting 12-year-old prostitute Iris (Jodie Foster) who chooses to return to a pimp instead of a normal life, Bickle decides it's time to "clean up" the city of evil on his own. He decides to start with the murder of Senator Palantine, however, noticed by the guards, he runs away from the scene of the alleged assassination. But "lynching" still happens: the ending of the film, when Travis cold-bloodedly kills brothel regulars and shoots pimp Iris in the stomach, was even translated into monochrome - the scene turned out to be too bloody in color, and the Motion Picture Association of America refused to issue a rental certificate for the film.
In preparation for filming, Scorsese several times demanded that screenwriter Paul Schroeder rework the story - for example, the action from Los Angeles was moved to the director's native New York, and some scenes had to be changed for reasons of political correctness. De Niro, who at the time was filming in Rome with Bernardo Bertolucci, often came to New York, where he spent 12 hours a day driving and talking with former soldiers. Scene in front of a mirror with the famous line "Are you talking to me?" was invented by De Niro: the script only mentioned that "Travis is looking at his reflection." Scorsese himself played a cameo role - a taxi passenger, about to kill his wife and leading Travis to the idea of reprisal.
Travis Bickle, who knew the meaninglessness of death in war and observed the meaninglessness of existence already in civilian life, was called by some critics "the most American of movie heroes", a victim of the ambitions of the entire nation. The film attracted even more attention in 1981, when John Hickley, who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan, admitted that he had watched Taxi Driver at least 15 times. The film brought Scorsese and De Niro not only recognition, but also awards and nominations: despite accusations of promoting violence, the director received the main prize at the Cannes Film Festival from the chairman of the jury, Tennessee Williams, and De Niro was nominated for an Oscar for this role.
De Niro's most coveted award for the actor for the second time was brought by another role in the Scorsese film - boxer Jake LaMotta in "Raging Bull"(1980) (the actor received the first Oscar for the role of the young Vito Corleone in the second part of Coppola's The Godfather). Before that, Scorsese and De Niro managed to work together again - lyrical drama "New York, New York", where Liza Minnelli became De Niro's partner, failed at the box office, but was later recognized as a model of "concert cinema". "Raging Bull" - World Champion LaMotta's memories of sports career, rocky relationship with brother Joey and wife Vicky, fixed matches and relations with underworld. Aggression and anger, which bring success in the ring, interfere with the hero's life: he has problems with the mafia and with his own brother, who, moreover, trains a boxer: having become jealous of his wife, Jake beats Joey in front of his family. The story of Jake LaMotta ends sadly: after hanging his gloves on a nail, he buys night club, but things in show business are not given. The aged and out of shape boxer moonlights as an entertainer, and his attempts to improve relations with his brother lead to nothing.
De Niro himself suggested that Scorsese make a film about sports when he visited him in the hospital in 1978 (the director ended up in the clinic after a drug overdose). Scorsese, who was about to leave the cinema, refused, but De Niro managed to persevere, as a result, "Raging Bull" was recognized as the best film about sports according to the American Film Institute, and De Niro - the best actor of the year. “During the filming of Raging Bull, I actually almost died from cocaine, but by a whim of fate everything ended well, I didn’t die, but finished the film. I didn’t care what would happen to him then, I just wanted to throw it into him everything. I was very angry. But it was a very productive anger. I knew that, most likely, this would be the last film that I would shoot. I felt that there was no more place for me in directing. Especially in America, "admitted later Scorsese.
And he was very wrong. Scorsese not only continued to make films, but also invited an old friend to play in them. In 1990, after a seven-year break in cooperation, his new film with De Niro was released - Crime Story "Good guys". Before its release, the director managed to shoot an Oscar-winning "The Color of Money" and ambiguous "The Last Temptation of Christ", and De Niro starred in another gangster movie "Once Upon a Time in America".
"Goodfellas" begins with a "hook" that immediately catches the viewer - three mafiosi are driving along a night highway, and after a minute it becomes clear that in the trunk of their car there is a corpse, which suddenly turns out to be still a living bandit. The heroes finish off the victim and bury the body in the forest. This crime becomes the plot of a further plot: teenager Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) dreams of becoming a gangster and since childhood has been working part-time with neighboring gangsters who take the guy under their protection. Authority Paul Cicero (Paul Sorvino) introduces the young talent to Jimmy Conway (Robert De Niro), who, despite his youth, managed to become a living legend thanks to his virtuoso robberies. Conway sets Henry up with another young "talent" - hot-tempered Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci). Having earned respect from new comrades, Henry grows up, marries and, together with Jimmy and Tommy, pulls off several major crimes. Under the pretext of initiation into the "Family", the mafiosi kill Tommy - as revenge for the murder of a gangster, which the viewer sees in the first frames of the film. Jimmy and Henry's relationship becomes chilly, and it doesn't take long for Henry to realize that Jimmy is going to take him out. Saving himself, Henry testifies against former friends and, having changed his name, disappears from the city.
Scorsese decided to shoot another gangster tape after reading the book by crime journalist Nicholas Pileggi "Egghead". Inspired by finding a novel "which he had been looking for for years," the director contacted the author and, together with him, adapted the book over the course of two years. Film company Warner Bros. was ready to produce the picture only on the condition that Scorsese would attract a superstar to the shooting - and here the director again found himself in the company of an old friend. De Niro himself chose the role of Jimmy Conway for himself and advised the young Ray Liotta to leading role. Playing not the central character of the film, De Niro created a vivid image of a charismatic thief and gangster around whom all events are concentrated. For the role of Jimmy Conway, De Niro received a BAFTA award, and The Goodfellas is still considered one of the best examples of gangster cinema (the long-awaited The Godfather 3 by Francis Ford Coppola was released the same year, but it was the Goodfellas that critics called the best movie of the year).
In 1993, on the set of This Boy's Life, Robert De Niro met 19-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio and was so impressed by the young actor's persistence and performance that he advised Martin Scorsese to "one day work with this guy." "He's always kind to others, but he's never said that before. I saw the movie What's Eating Gilbert Grape? and I didn't know it was him. But Leo was great. And then, Titanic. I thought, that he is very good," Scorsese said in an interview. In 1995, Scorsese and De Niro made the last joint film to date - another gangster tape "Casino", and in 2002 in the film "Gangs of New York"A new tandem has formed. A large-scale picture of the confrontation between "native" Americans and emigrants received 10 Oscar nominations, but did not take a single statuette. However, with light hand Martin Scorsese about DiCaprio, whose most high-profile works at that time were roles in Titanic, Romeo and Juliet and The Beach, spoke in a completely different way, and after the next joint picture - "Aviator"(2004) - only the lazy did not talk about the deep and diverse dramatic talent of DiCaprio.
This film tells about the fate of the American inventor, producer and director, millionaire Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio). Hughes is about to shoot a huge and expensive Hells Angels movie about fighter jet combat during the First World War. Obsessed with his idea, Howard does not stop at either industry skepticism or financial loss, and creates a sound film that, despite the success with the audience, does not recoup the huge investment. After the Hells Angels, Hughes switched to developing aircraft for the US Department of Defense, absolutely fascinated by the creation of the huge Hercules, investing his own money in the work and personally participating in test flights, in one of which he miraculously survived. After the end of the war, the FBI begins an investigation into the spending of the allocated funds - the planes were never delivered. At the same time, Howard Hughes, who, despite his life in appearance, could not overcome his timidity and his own fears, is aggravated by obsessive-compulsive disorder.
DiCaprio, who convincingly embodied the energetic and timid, impulsive and lonely millionaire inventor, initially caused skepticism among some critics - at the time of filming the actor was 30 years old, and many considered him too young for this role. “Some said that Leo was too young to play Howard Hughes. But DiCaprio is such a good actor that he really gradually “aged” and became schizophrenic during the filming. A real metamorphosis happened to him,” Scorsese told DiCaprio. , as once De Niro, he himself offered to lead the entire project.
After The Aviator, which collected five Oscars, among which, however, there were no major awards, Scorsese proceeded to the third film with DiCaprio - "Renegades", which brought together superstars on the set - Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin. Thriller about police academy graduates Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon) who find themselves in different sides The barricade was a modified version of the 2002 Chinese trilogy Infernal Affairs.

The characters are really like mirror projections of each other: DiCaprio's character is embedded in the mafia, and Damon's character at this time is "spying" for bandits in law enforcement agencies. Retelling the entire plot of The Departed is pointless - almost every scene of the crime drama makes unexpected changes. One has only to say that Martin Scorsese's version of the classic story about good and bad cops looks like the perfect crime thriller, where not a single detail is superfluous. American film critics, for the first time in their long career, nevertheless called Scorsese the best director of the year, could not fail to recognize this.
"Could you check the envelope again?" - Turned Scorsese, until 2007 five times nominated for an Oscar, to Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, who handed him the long-awaited statuette for best director. His speech and, most importantly, the reaction of the audience, which stood up in unison and applauded for several minutes, became the most touching moments of the entire ceremony, the guests of which were waiting for Scorsese's name to sound, it seems, even more than himself.
DiCaprio also received his nomination - the actor was nominated for the Golden Globe, but even here the prize went only to the director.
After four films, each of which became an event (after The Departed, DiCaprio also played in "Shutter Island"), and a four-year break, "Leo and Marty" again work in tandem: the release of the crime drama "The Wolf of Wall Street" is scheduled for 2013, where DiCaprio will play the financier Jordan Belfort, who has risen to the top of the financial pyramid. Scorsese plans to cast his longtime friend De Niro in the drama The Irishman, where the actor will play the role of mafia mercenary Frank Sheeran, and Al Pacino and Joe Pesci will be his company. Scorsese, by the way, generally prefers constancy, and De Niro and DiCaprio are not the only creative companions of the director. The same Joe Pesci played in three Scorsese films, and Thelma Schoonmaker edited most of his films.
“Of course, it’s nice to read to yourself that you are the greatest living American director, but I have learned not to take it all seriously. You can’t be too arrogant, then everything starts to fall out of your hands. The most difficult thing is to maintain true simplicity,” Scorsese commented on the results. survey conducted in 2010 by Paste magazine. By his own admission, the main interest of the director is "people without fear", to which Scorsese, no doubt, belongs himself - either he takes on completely new topics for himself, or he suddenly shoots a family film that is completely atypical for him "Time Keeper"- and again receives eleven nominations for "Oscar".
How many times does a scale student need to play to become a professional musician? How much clay will an apprentice use to become a great sculptor? Even the longest journey always starts with small steps. Only perseverance and constancy is a sign of mastery.
You have sails, and you grabbed the anchor ... (Confucius)
What are you ready for?
Our people are arranged in a very interesting way: to go to a regular job "from start to finish" - 8 hours a day and earn 200-300 dollars. (on average) - they think that this is normal. That's how everyone used to live, that's the way it is.
At the same time, coming into the system and paying attention to your business (your business) for half an hour a month, for some reason they expect big incomes.
And when nothing “fell down” from the sky, they begin to get disappointed and whine - nothing works out for me.
