Film "Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano". Life never has a draft
In the morning, guests arrive at the estate of the widow of General Anna Petrovna Voinitseva. Doctor Triletsky, creditor Petrin, suitor and admirer Semyon Porfirevich, neighbors Mikhail Vasilyevich Platonov with his wife Sashenka and Pavel Petrovich Shcherbuk with his daughters and nephew Petechka, Voinitseva's stepson Serge with his wife Sophia. Secular society is ready for entertainment in the morning, but not everyone has fun.
The film "Unfinished Piece for Mechanical Piano" was shot by Nikita Mikhalkov in 1976 based on several plays by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. This is one of the first works of the director, but, like subsequent ones, it raises serious problems of the individual and social life of a person.
In many ways, the film, following Chekhov's plays, leaves questions open, prompting the viewer to find answers to them himself. Not everyone can figure out why the heroes of the film, educated and intelligent people, suffer so much. Only by looking at the plot and heroes of the film through the prism of Yuri Burlan's System-Vector Psychology, one can understand what the film is about, and see the light behind the seeming hopelessness.
The plot of the picture is simple and straightforward
The action seems drawn out and static. However, this perfectly reflects the way of life of the nobility, dying as a class at the end of the 19th century.
In the morning, guests arrive at the estate of the widow of General Anna Petrovna Voinitseva. Doctor Triletsky, creditor Petrin, suitor and admirer Semyon Porfirevich, neighbors Mikhail Vasilyevich Platonov with his wife Sashenka and Pavel Petrovich Shcherbuk with his daughters and nephew Petechka, Voinitseva's stepson Serge with his wife Sophia. Secular society is ready for entertainment in the morning, but not everyone has fun.
The hostess "tolerates" the guests. She has long been in debt and, making a choice between honor and property, she chooses an estate. She doesn't have friends, but useful connections. Possessing a cutaneous-visual bundle of vectors, she skillfully uses innate attractiveness to attract the right men. A loving Semyon Porfirevich is spinning around her, promising content for her favor. But Anna Petrovna herself has a secret connection with the married Platonov.
Love drama - passion visual vector
Platonov is torn between three women: his wife, already a tired mistress - the mistress of the estate, with whom he contacted, most likely out of boredom, and his past and first love Sophia, Serge's wife. They accidentally collide at a Voinitseva party. Like any man with an anal vector, the first love is the most significant for him, and the feeling still has not died, and at a sudden meeting only flared up with renewed vigor. Moreover, the visual vector adds fuel to the fire of passion.
Two spectators - Misha and Sophia - have been looking for opportunities to retire all night in order to talk and understand what an absurd accident threw them up suddenly then, seven years ago, when a young girl got on a train to leave for two days, but never came back. She herself could not understand what made her do it: "Well, why didn't you look for me?" The visual cutaneous ligament of vectors pushed me to search for adventure, novelty, and self-realization. Such a woman is not created for a long-term relationship. For her, life starts anew every time.
He, a lonely student, went to the platform every day, met trains and drank. The anal-visual boy, obedient to fate and submitting to the decision of the woman, could not do something to find his love. Such a combination of vectors does not give a person decisiveness. “Never and nothing happens afterwards. It only seems that everything is still ahead, that life is long and happy, that now you can live in such a way that then everything can be corrected … This "later" will never come. " This monologue contains the whole program of the anal vector, living in the past and unable to see the future.
Systematically, their tragedy is understandable, the motives of their actions are clearly visible. Naturally, they fit together: both sensual, capable of creating a crazy emotional connection. In the lower vectors, they are attracted to each other. And although the skin-visual beauty is the muse of the urethral leader, from time immemorial an anal-visual male jeweler showed her attention and created stunning jewelry for her. There is an ancient connection between them. And they are able to make a natural pair. Only the heroes of the film did not know about this and therefore could not take advantage of the opportunity that nature provided them.
The nature of the anal-visual intelligentsia
Each character is written out in the film with utmost precision, which is why you believe what is happening. We see the problems of the same unrealized anal-visual ligament of vectors at the level of society. The heroes of the film are representatives of the nobility, the intelligentsia, stuck in the past, which is inevitably going downhill. Russia is on the verge of new social transformations - the abolition of serfdom, revolution.
Not all members of the nobility can adapt, despite the fact that they are smart, educated. The owners of the anal vector are pathologically incapable of changing, acting. For them, everything new is stress, and the preservation of traditions is a priority.
The lack of realization of the visual vector makes them spend time in empty talk about charity, love and help to the common people, narcissism and entertainment. Any reference to a serious topic, the posing of acute questions is immediately ridiculed, turned into a joke, into a farce. How harmful it is for the viewer: for some time "swaying" in exaltation, in laughter, he then inevitably falls to the very bottom of his emotional amplitude - into melancholy and insensibility.
Throughout the film, we see the emotional swing of the characters. The crying doctor Triletsky tells us about his "hard" life. Not because he works a lot and gets tired (on the contrary, he refuses to help Gorokhov's sick wife, citing busyness - entertainment and wine await him), but because he does not like his job, does not feel a person, does not feel the need to help someone. We observe here an atrophy of the visual meaning of life, which consists precisely in sympathy for one's neighbor, in a desire to help and support. In fact, the profession of a doctor is one of the best types of realization of visual properties, provided that a person is capable of it, will be sensually involved in work with people.
A common thread throughout the film is the throwing of the school teacher Mikhail Vasilyevich Platonov. So he laughs and “turns on” the whole society, devaluing everything he just said about the meaning of life. But, at the peak of the inner dramatization of what is happening, in the middle of the night, the whole house wakes up to say how small and insignificant all its inhabitants, including himself: he is already 35, but what did he do in this life? And this theatrical, ostentatious attempt to drown in a shallow river is the clearest illustration of the visual vector in a state of emotional swing.
And again everything will be as usual. Sophia will return to her husband. Misha will entertain a cheerful widow and delight his silly, but such a loving visual Sasha. A pathological inability to change something in this life, to take a step towards realization, in addition to talking about bottle feeding peasant children or distributing tailcoats to the mowers - this is what distinguishes the anal-visual intelligentsia not only at that time, but often now.
Culture should serve society, its task is to overcome hostility between people. That is why it takes a place next to power. The creator of culture is a skin-visual woman - the muse and inspirer of the urethral leader, when she is developed in her natural properties. It was thanks to her that at one time humanity was vaccinated against cannibalism through the introduction into society of the humanistic values of love, kindness and mercy.
For some reason, the anal-visual intelligentsia often puts themselves in the position of a consumer: “Give money for culture! Give recognition! Give honor and glory! And what can you, each individual person, give a real society? Real medicine, real education, real art? So give it, serve the people, and in return you will be rewarded! In this matter, the film has not lost its sharpness and relevance in our days. Only today part of the intelligentsia opposes itself to society through criticism of the authorities.
So as not to live a rough life
The genius of Chekhov and the professionalism of Mikhalkov very accurately showed us that the mental problems and throwing of the heroes of the film are in the absence of realization. Nature abhors emptiness; desires require fulfillment. Hence the feeling of darkness and lack of meaning in life. After all, life is comprehended through pleasure, and a person receives pleasure from the realization of his properties.
And in this matter, Mikhail Vasilyevich Platonov is right, saying that "nothing happens afterwards." We wander in the darkness of our ignorance, making mistakes, unconsciously obeying incomprehensible impulses. As if we are living on a rough draft, hoping to rewrite the book of our life someday. However, this will not happen, the book cannot be rewritten, unless a person understands what drives him, what laws govern him and how they can be used to make his life happier and more fulfilling.
The film leaves a feeling of hopelessness. Questions have been raised, but the answers are only lightly indicated. And only systemic thinking gives us the opportunity to look at human life in a very positive way, because there are answers. They are in ourselves.
