Riot - this is freedom?
Five of themost powerful films about breaking stereotypes
What does it mean to rebel? Go against the established rules, even if it threatens the heroes with death? We present to you a selection of the most powerful paintings about those who were not afraid to take risks.
"FIGHT CLUB" / "FIGHT CLUB" (1999, directed by David Fincher)
This is a paradoxical and confusing story about how a person who is tired of the life of office plankton and suffers from depression can radically change his life. It is enough to forever renounce the usual things, work, at home and organize a fight club for people like you. With nothing left to lose, don't you feel free?
The picture is based on the novel of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk of the 90s.
"A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" (1971, directed by Stanley Kubrick)
A violent film that shows violence is like cancer. Even if you delete it, it does not mean that one day she will not return.
The main character Alex, a young leader of a gang that destroys everything in its path, becomes a victim of an experiment, after which he turns out to be incapable of violence. Everyone that Alex has hurt, and just passers-by attack him. How long will the insane rebel stay on the other side of the barricades?
The film is based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Anthony Burgess.
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN (2005, director Ang Lee)
Is love a riot? Yes, if you go against the stereotypes of a society that drives you away.
This is the most powerful and difficult picture about the love of two men who for many years had to hide their feelings behind their families, activities, etc. Brokeback Mountain alone was a silent witness to their passion, worries and disappointments. They met there 1-2 times a year, until the ridiculous death of one of the heroes separated them forever.
The film is based on the story of the same name by Annie Prue, which was published in 1997.
"PERO MARQUISE DE SADA" / "QUILLS" (2000, director Philip Kaufman)
Creativity is always a rebellion and it is able to subdue the souls of people, change them.
The Marquis de Sade, the founder of the philosophy of libertinage (debauchery) of the 18th century, creates his revolutionary works against morality, religion, but for the freedom of love and sexual relations. He is constantly arrested and in prisons creates his great works ("120 Days of Sodom", "The Misfortunes of Virtue," etc. - ed.), Using any available means as paper, even sheets and walls.
The picture not only tells that no creativity can be killed, but also that we should not be afraid to be ourselves, even if it goes against the ideas of society.
"THE DREAMERS" (2003, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci)
What is the reason for the riot? Of course, with a young, perky spirit. Who, if not young, wants to be different from previous generations and destroy what they don't like.
Three heroes, students, live during the social crisis in France in 1968: demonstrations, protests, but they do not participate in them, because completely absorbed in sex, cinema and stay at home.
Young people do not want to express their dissatisfaction, but at the same time they rebel in their own way. For them, real freedom is to live the way they want. But how long will it last?
