[000:00:00;00] not for our tomorrow, watch the saturday political club, what saturdays are not espresso, the big broadcast of vasyl zima, two hours of airtime, two hours of your time, two hours to learn about the war and what the world is like, two hours to keep up with economic news and new sports, two hours in the company of your favorite presenters presenters , who have become like-minded to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, the events of the day in two hours , vasyl's big broadcast in winter, a project for intelligent and

caring people in the evening, naispresso, friends , hello, my greetings, today we will traditionally talk about the brightest events from from my point of view, what has happened in our ukrainian culture over the past week, and we will analyze the case with oksana bayrak. it seems to me that it is much more serious than it seems at first glance. serials , but i urge them not to watch them, because for this you need to seriously prepare, and she filmed different serials, she was one of the most prominent from her point of view , or even the most prominent

person in ukrainian cinema, and she went to st. petersburg to to christen her niece, she absolutely would not hide it anymore, she even posted photos of herself on instagram, ran into a huge scandal and had to close her instagram page from ukrainian users, more precisely from users, perhaps from many of her former fans, these uh, in the end, we will talk about her influence on the brains of the same fans because the ratings of her series were enormous and she was invited to ukrainian television to film various series and participate in the show even though she regularly the anti-ukrainian and pro-russian position that manifested itself before the revolution of dignity during the unity revolution already during the war, she did not hide her attitude to e-e and to russia to ukraine. she often spoke about the fact that ukraine has bombs and donbas, she continues to say this now, that is, to a person

even under the bombs it did not come out what russia is and i will try to explain why it had a colossal influence on a huge audience and what kind of influence it was . well, now i will tell you about enough uh , interesting at first glance, meaningless, but on a second look on the contrary, there is a meaningful scandal that is currently happening around bradley cooper's new film, bradley cooper , i will remind you, is not only one of the most famous american actors, he is also a director, and his new work is called mastro, and it is a biopic about leonard bernstein or belstein, it is one of the most famous composers, conductors, musicians in general in the world, he is not of ukrainian origin, his parents, father, are jews, mother seems to be ukrainian, they emigrated

at the beginning of the last century from rivne to new york, leonard was born there, grew up and became bradley cooper made a movie about him, and by the way, the film had a lot of press, they were following him because bradley cooper is not the last man in hollywood, but this film is produced by martin scorsese and steven spielberg, that is, the people are waiting, and now the lord has put out the first trailer. here began a grand scandal in the english-speaking segment , well, first of all, among americans, why all because of the nose that bradley cooper did not touch himself, well, for one thing, it is logical, because if you look at the photos of bradley cooper and leonardo berstein, we will see that leonard's bottom is a little bigger, but the jewish community has gathered both among potential viewers there

and among the valuable photographers themselves . why? because they claim that a big nose is one of the key elements of anti-semitic propaganda. but of course the very first associations are precisely with the period of nazi germany, we can recall all these propaganda posters depicting jews , these were usually such people they are cunning and evil in their eyes, of course they wanted to deceive you, they hid their gold somewhere, and they were such dangerous enemies , and they usually had big noses, and even when the jews were depicted in the propaganda there in the form of a snake or some other animal, it’s all the same

i had a big nose and everyone understood. yes, it's the jews. they want to fool you , of course, with such a background and having experienced such great shocks, great tragedies, having such a trauma, in particular, this visual , the jews can understand that they immediately have these big noses go with e are associated with anti-semitic propaganda and they got angry at bradley cooper, although he himself says that i didn't think about it at all. i just wanted to be as similar as possible to my character, but this is not the only criticism of cooper's nubuck abrelia. there are also criticisms that and why doesn’t he play a jew, this is one thing, and secondly, the nose doesn’t make an actor look like his character, miss is not like that, and there is also the opinion that now in the current cinema he is so liberalized. well, in general, art is already

it is not necessary to achieve such photographic accuracy in order to play someone now anyone can play anyone and there should be enough different contradictory statements and you know this discussion if it can be called that because there such emotions are bubbling now proves once again that we don't have to think of ourselves, of ukrainians, as people who know how to create scandals, showdowns in an empty place, because we see here the same surge of emotions that will continue for some time because the voter has already demand that this film be reshot and or not shown at all because it is clear let us delve a little deeper into all these contexts because i understand how much this problem is not very typical for our country and i will try to tell you some moments some elements in world cinema in

the cinematography of the united states, which clarify to us certain here are the claims that may arise, which are not clear to us at first glance . i think you know what blackface is. it is when a white actor plays an african, smears himself with khutorin or some kind of dark makeup, paints his lips like this and plays a weak african. it began to be fought only in the 60s, when this movement of african americans in the united states had already achieved certain successes there, and in the 60s they already began to talk about the fact that vlackvice is

unacceptable, it was really unacceptable therefore what are these characters? what do you understand? they were depicted as such funny, weak, stupid people, but more than that, they depicted slaves that i would educate and they said they came to the platentia just to rest, although this of course has nothing to do with reality. things, one more example, the title is gone with the wind - this is a classic of world cinema, one of the most popular films, but now this film is shown there on various online platforms, and be with a very long display, that is, with an explanation , first text or audio, what is said in this the film has a false image of how the slaves lived because you remember the main character scarlett had a nanny now who felt great who also ruled her owners who could fight and yell at them

and lived great all the slaves lived happily great because that's what the slaves said and they can only live they need an owner because they cannot live on their own, they cannot survive on their own that's why it's cool that there was slavery and it 's certainly not into which gate you don't climb and that's why i had to sculpt this disclaimer to such a classic work now i'll remind you about black face that ah ah only in 1995, for the first time in the world history of cinema, othello was played by an actor of african origin, it was lawrence fishburne . well, in 1995, the film failed at the box office , as far as i remember.

of the year, everyone, in every production , it is the movie and the screen adaptation of shakespeare's work, they took a white actor who had to be smeared with make-up, and here he played the otel, why was it not possible to invite an african to play wells laurence olivier by the way, there are a lot of discussions among film critics and movie fans american ones, in particular, what to do with these films, because on the one hand, usually, well, classics , on the other hand, black face is not acceptable. on the one hand, er, anyone can play anyone, as i already said in a normal film process , and if we are if the directors and producers will select actors and actresses based on a huge number of coincidences with their character, then i am afraid that we may not choose them because external, collect nationality, pick up growth, there is something else, ah, well, you can go into such a dead end, but i don’t know what about the jews

in particular, about the marginalization of jewish art in particular , well, since i can judge in this way, they have always been fairly widely represented in artistic circles and among the musicians, among the female actors, there have always been a lot of jews. although, of course, i could be wrong here, they are now advocating that why aren't they jews playing a jew, but this problem is much more pronounced in the community of transgender actors and actresses. because i will give you an example a few years ago, there was also a loud scandal that forced the actress oscarlette johansson to give up her role, she was supposed to play a kind of dantegiil, it's like a gangster, it's such a criminal authority, once in the united states he ran a series of massage parlors, in particular but these massage parlors

were actually brothels so dante gil was a transgender man so born a woman but positioned himself and identified himself as a man so that's when the community found out that scarlett johansson would his actors began to be indignant and say that no, this role should be played by a transgender actor. scarlett johansson persisted for a long time and said that even and what is this, but then she had to agree because when we have a commercial movie that should pay off at the box office so you want to avoid scandals in order to make money at the box office and then to have someone come to this film, but the situation is also complicated on the one hand, why are people different actors who on the contrary , it seems interesting to me when you see an actor or

actress who or who reincarnates simply to unrecognizable when a man plays a cool woman, for example, how did fontanlietta do it about the dales buyers' club, he played a woman, a 30-gender woman, we still have a lot of examples and the source won an oscar, it is well deserved from my point of view, but what do transgender actors say, they say that we are marginalized so far, even in such a progressive country as the united states, we are not invited or very few are invited to castings, we get very few roles and therefore cannot build our career. and the opportunity to play ourselves, well, in fact, we can only be given the roles of gender characters, and then they are taken away from us . is it fair? i think that they can be understood because, well, we actually see from the fact that transgender actors and actresses are often not invited to them, and this is it's often not related to talent, but to the fact that, well, there are still certain

stereotypes, so i think that we can understand here, but we can also understand their history. many people were against it what kind of argument did they have? they said that if the ukrainian language is viable, if people need it, then it will develop without different quotas, but we can see from the example that these quotas are absolutely different, not only radio, they were needed because our information space under the influence of russia was russian-speaking very often, for example, at one time , i couldn’t even find a job in various media because it was suggested to write in russian. so i wanted to write in ukrainian, but which site wouldn’t i go to

? russian is the main language everywhere, and that’s why quotas it's probably an artificial situation. well, let's say it's an artificial situation. it's artificial. injustice can probably be solved only by some such artificial ones. so far it's working . well, let's make these claims more clear to us. take them for cooper, although you know the situation is also quite controversial because leonard's children bernstein tüberten with her, how to speak more precisely they came to the defense of bradley cooper they said, lord , what did you do to him, get away from this man, he from the very beginning with he was consulted by us, he treated our father with great respect, his inheritance with great interest and he is afraid to mix things up, he wants everything to be exact so as not to offend anyone, that's why he was constantly in touch with us, that's why the children of the composers said that they probably need it too already listen, but let us remember what in the history of cinema there were derogatory

and offensive stereotypical images of ukrainians and ukrainians and how we ourselves react to it very often. by the way , foreigners, not to mention russians, so what are it's just that these propagandist images were stamped, they don't understand. and why we don't like something about this, let's remember the emir in paris, a very popular series that tells the story of an american marketer who comes to paris, by the way, there are many stereotypes about the french, but the french were also offended, but you know, the french were depicted there so haughty but cute , stylish and sophisticated, in the second season such a heroine petra appeared who emphasized that she is ukrainian, why is petra ukrainian? i think it is because americans often see people from eastern europe it's something roughly the same as the poles, the czechs, the ukrainians - it's something like that, some kind of incomprehensible, not well-developed, and

, and, and, mafia, so, uh, that's why petra is from ukraine, she 's not only let's just say, she was very, very unattractive , the heroine was not aesthetically, how can you put it? she's not very good-looking. let's just say she's progressive and attractive . she was also a critic. wrote angry letter in general if we talk about the image of ukrainians in world cinema before the full-scale invasion, very often men were portrayed as such members of uh, mafia structures, gangster structures , not very intelligent uh, people, it was like in the tv series fargo, it was, for example, in the movie harrichi operation fortuna, the director, by the way, should have released it immediately after the full

-scale invasion, because the image of ukrainians changed very quickly and dramatically in the world, and he said that ok, i will repair this tape, even if it is because of the fact that in ukraine, these characters are thug-loving ukrainians were cut out in other countries, they were left, i don’t know, we didn’t watch them, but we could see a lot of movies , especially action movies, where people are generally from eastern europe, i’ll repeat for the americans that we are still poles, it was all the same and that’s what this gangster corner of eastern europe is. what the russians also often entered there, ah, about the russians . i’m not talking about the russians because they produced these images all the time, they were completely different , for example, the image of such a folkloric khokhla, so what, well, typical gogol characters from

of his ukrainian cycle, these are such ethnographic ukrainians, who are cheerful, who eat dumplings and, of course, incapable of anything serious . among them there is no nobility, aristocracy , or intelligentsia. only the dumpling eaters, hmm , the same image. by the way, they are often stamped by representatives of our diaspora. well, they have such the idea is very often such a sentiment . and it is not perceived by ukrainians who live in ukraine, but a vivid example is the film bitter harvest, directed by george mandelyuk, money was collected for it, and it was not state-owned financing, our diaspora gathered and this film was about the holodomor. i believe that this film was shot with the best intentions, but it is such a view of ukrainians. well, which is perceived by many ukrainians as also contemptuous , offensive and very frivolous. well, i am not talking about these russian films. well, i i wouldn’t say that they are propagandists, they are more likely to have such an imperial view, this is also brother two, where ukrainians are no longer so funny, how are

the bandits aggressive, who threaten russia, what are the benders, that’s just a good definition for how it's the people of bender, not the people of bender 12 nikita mikhalkova, it's just a coincidence, hmm, there are some stereotypes about different nationalities, there is a stereotypical georgian, a stereotypical jew, a stereotypical russian, who bangs one and the other, and here is a stereotypical ukrainian, who has some ailments , who is poorly dressed, who is withdrawn, but it turns out that he is very cunning because , according to the russians, ukrainians are very cunning ah , that's why we have such stories, and what's more, we also have stories with our tv series , which are mostly comedies, which are also ah they produce images of ukrainians that many ukrainians no longer like, but at the same time, many do not like them because

, as you remember, such series as the last muscovite from him probably all started. you know, ethnographic ukrainians are like that, not very educated, cunning, eh. well, here you see, on the one hand, a high rating and on the other, constant criticism. well , i think we have dealt with it. i will just briefly remind you now that where you can go go now to ukraine so we have already moved on to another topic, firstly two days in kyiv on the territory of sofia of kyiv and those festival kyiv bouquet stage festival of high culture but do not be afraid it is an extremely atmospheric festival because you know high culture you are associated with many people that now we will come and we will be bored there, but no, this is, uh, i will repeat it very much, an atmospheric festival, which, first of all, i like the music program the most, for example, because

it is somehow fabulous every time, because exactly you sit on the lawn, where you can lie down, where you can sit. as you like, the acoustics are extremely excellent there, there is a variety of lighting that makes this evening unforgettable and very good music. just tonight, you can listen to the music of valentyn silvestrov. i simply urge you to go there because it is one of the of our most significant composers, there will be piano, vocal, electronic music by valentina silvestrova, please don't miss this chance and let me remind you that you can come to this festival by simply paying for the entrance to the territory of sofia kyivska and you need to register only for concerts that take place directly in sofia, this is the second time i remind you that the odessa film festival has finally started in chernivtsi, it sounds funny, the truth is the odessa festival in chernivtsi, but it was announced a long time ago, well, because in odessa

now it is not very safe to hold a festival, to put it mildly, although there will also be certain events there , but the main event you have in chernivtsi is literally in an hour and a half and the opening ceremony will take place, the festival will open with a ribbon dovbusha olesya sanina, please follow our broadcasts, i will cover this entire event, there will be a lot of interesting events of films in the industrial section, so wait for the report on our broadcast, and now, as i promised, i will tell you about oksana bayrak, honestly, she is my favorite director because i can identify her films , you know, there is such a genre that is so bad that it is good, that is, when you watch tv series, it is so badly made that you get some kind of pleasure from it, it has some kind of comic effect you just laugh at it but the situation, you know, was not very good with her either because oksana bayrak was in fact probably the only director

of our soap opera of these not- so-intellectual tv shows that aired on our television, who was positioned as the author because we usually see tv series and it doesn't matter who made them, some directors who don't certify anywhere, it doesn't matter who made it, but oksana bayrak was positioned everywhere as an author because she has a name, oksana bayrak's new series is fine - there were constantly announced there on banons and that the strangest thing is that her tv series were not badly made, because the further oksana ivanovna went, the more she was rolling towards the hack . for example, as far as i remember, her tv series, which began to be released in 2019, than it doesn't happen twice

, it was called, it had more ratings than , for example, catching a snitch, it's something that absolutely does not fit into my head, but it's important otherwise oksana bayrak is always herself and through her serials, she promoted this whole russian world because she considered herself a person of russian culture, well, she always had such variations, she considered herself an aristocrat, she considered herself to be someone else, well, you have a great imagination, and she constantly quoted different russian and only russian writers and actors, and she transferred this to her tapes, where various characters evoked and produced sentiment towards russia in the broadest sense. in 2006, as i already said, she joined a political party that's all putin

was in ukraine, then during the revolution of dignity, she also criticized the participants. and already under the war, after the start of the war, she criticized the ukrainian army quite harshly and consistently. in the 14th year, she left for russia to work there. the show is crazy. when different people came there, she was the host, but despite all this, she returns to ukraine perfectly fine. her serials are successfully shown on our television, and she hosts a show on the stb tv channel. she is invited to the ukraine tv channel. to be a participant of another popular show-mask, that is, absolutely well, let's say that the person's reputation did not suffer, and what's more, in this 19th year, she continued to shoot tv series and then write to herself in social networks, promoting this whole russian world. that is, it happened in 2019 and up to a full-scale invasion because she was also

preparing her next series there, she really likes to invite various russian actors, and that's why i hope, er, that i don't know if they will let oksana barik back in general, where is she now, well, in fact she cannot be allowed back from russia because she has ukrainian citizenship, but i once again hope that our television managers will stop inviting her to participate in various shows, stop ordering tv series , maybe not out of their own will, but simply because public opinion has changed. i will repeat myself, i have great hope that viewers will no longer want to watch tv series there or films by oksana bayrak. they mostly shoot tv series because they simply will not accept this person who seems to me to have crossed all the red lines. line, she never hid her position, and you see, on the one hand, you can call it principled, because she would have been for russia, and nothing

has changed her point of view, but on the other hand, and on the other hand , the situation that is happening is so unambiguous now many people have finally realized that russia is an aggressor, that russia is an eternal aggressor and people have changed their attitude. oksana bayrak no, i think it would be great if she went to russia at all. i think it would be better for both us and her after all, i still hope that they won't let her work here , she just won't have orders, and in russia she will probably be able to find a better place for herself. there is russian culture. i think that it is better that it should be involved in the development of russian culture, mass culture, and we are already joking that it can really become our

such a dirty bomb, our super-powerful our with a cultural weapon if he still moves to russia and will shoot his incredible tv series and fool the heads of russian women and not ukrainian women , well, we'll see what happens, i'll say goodbye to you on this. keep watching espresso eh and i wish you a peaceful evening and a peaceful night 17 hour in ukraine news time on the espresso tv channel in the studio iryna koval welcomes all viewers to 117 people, the number of victims increased as a result of the russian attack on the center of chernihiv, seven of them died, among the wounded there are 12 children and 10 workers
