The film "14+". As teenagers like, or scandal is canceled

MOSCOW. The premiere of Andrei Zaitsev’s painting about first love. Let’s quietly, let us in an undertone…

The film about the love of adolescents long before the October premiere and summer show at the Kinotavr was overgrown with legends, like shells on the bottom of an old boat. The position “did not see, but condemn” mowed down the ranks of pious spectators who were ready to go to the mortal battle for the purity of morals and thoughts. A comparison was made with a Swedish film on the same topic, born in 1970, in which some risky scenes were present.

In the best traditions of the ever-memorable 1937, a film was spread on the spreading wings, denounced, anathematized, accusing him of non-existent mortal sins. But before you send the funnel behind the crew and with a microscope in your hands to look for non-existent elements of pornography in the picture, you should see the whole picture. Commenting on the film’s release on the big screen, the director demonstrated a position on the ethical boundaries of what is permitted. The likelihood of explicit sex scenes was excluded from the beginning, and therefore family views are not forbidden and even desirable.

Many parents will reconcile the picture with the existence of social networks, which mean so much for today’s teenagers. The director, with their help, managed to find the leading actors, modern Juliet and Romeo - Gleb Kalyuzhny and Ulyana Vaskovich. Despite the fact that the guys do not look like quiet angels, and the screen does not pour a thin stream of molasses, the picture leaves a feeling of purity and quiet tenderness. Love does not choose age, does not look at differences. At 14, she can be surprisingly bright, fragile, and dramatic.

The main message intended for parents: discover your children, understand them, love, do not break their feelings through the knee. Learn to listen to them, understand, help without judging. Does it hurt less?
