Social activist Mikhail Ivanov, deputy of the Bryansk Regional Duma, criticized the new film adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s novel “Crime and Punishment”. about this reports NEWS.ru.
He did not like the chosen vocabulary – according to Ivanov, heroes living in the 21st century cannot use words such as “right now”, “fullness” and “seven-pound merchant’s wife”.
He was also disturbed by the scenes of violence.
“The brutal depiction of the main character washing himself in blood, strangling a pregnant woman, and then singing a lullaby is completely incompatible with the image of a hero with a complex and torn conscience. Where are the circumstances that lead Raskolnikov to such thoughts and cloud his mind? Now it seems he only needs blood and chaos,” the parliamentarian thinks.
According to Ivanov, the absence of a scene with Marmeladov in the first episodes of the series excludes the idea of compassion and forgiveness, without which it is difficult to understand the positive side of Raskolnikov. He also thought that the changes in the personalities of other characters (Razumikhin, Porfiry Petrovich, Marfa Petrovna and Avdotya Romanovna) were inaccurate and that the scenes “on the verge of censorship” were disappointing.
On the eve of Kinopoisk presented The series “Crime and Punishment” after the third transfer.
