Chernobyl 1986: a heroic story full of clichés

 The night of April 26, 1986 is one of the nights that humans will never forget. At 1:23:45 in the afternoon, the No. 4 reactor exploded at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the then Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic.

 The power is equivalent to 500 atomic bombs, followed by a cloud of poison. Together with the Fukushima accident in 2011, this is by far the most serious accident in the history of civil nuclear power. The cinema did not reduce accidents, as they did when they were away. Feature films, documentaries and even soap operas, some of which reliably reconstruct the events ("Russischer Specht"/2015), "Catch Chernobyl: Opening after the Apocalypse"/2020).

 One of the most famous and important works is the short play filmed by HBO in 2019. There is a new movie about these events on Netflix today, but "Chernobyl 1986" (2021) is a disaster full of disaster, stupidity, and dramatic lies. Fireman Alexei (Danila Kozlovsky, the same director) quit my job because on April 26, 1986, the new life he and his girlfriend dreamed of in Kiev turned into darkness. The Chernobyl explosion put Alexei in danger again.

 Firefighters began to perform specific tasks with engineers and divers. : Drain water from the water tank below the combustion reactor.The water is warming, and all three of them are ready to face radioactive waves, darkness and water to save their comrades, sacrifice their lives, and prevent another explosion and greater disaster.

 Aroused the emotions of 600,000 soldiers and civilians, who extinguished fires and cleaned the reactor surface under harsh conditions, and eventually died of cancer and heart disease due to long-term exposure to radiation, including Alexei, who was mostly fictional Character firefighter Nikolai Cheboshev, now 71 years old. The main problem of this film is the complete objectivity of the plot, its political, social and medical background. It's like sending firefighters into a burning building from an exit, like explosions are a normal thing that happens every day.

 The protagonist of the film is very modern, and the disaster is just a background, showing a Russian director teasing the film, the explosion, and the characters that originally coincided with the romance, albeit at a somewhat slow pace. , And then the pace accelerated, and the film moved to the disaster site. The director, filming, and screening all started from the struggle of expression, such as no sense of danger, fear, or pain, and the dialogue was ineffective.Chernobyl 1986 is nothing more than a heroic story, full of clichés, a somewhat fragile movie, mediocre. Its story and presentation will attract many viewers on Netflix, but it will be forgotten in the blink of an eye.
