The film is not about youth, but about adults.
It is curious that there is no dispute about this picture, although disputes usually serve as a kind of guarantee of the quality of the film, or even absolution of all possible sins to its creators.
The argument is not about the film, but about what the film is about. About the youth, therefore, and not only about them. About life, if you will. She, this life, in a guise unexpected in its expression and openness, broke through to the screen, mastered its space and time by the will and talent of the authors, and, having gained a new quality — self-awareness, returned to life, to the audience, in a state of some shock leaving the screening room.
Perhaps it is in this return that the most important evidence that the film took place, especially the documentary.
"This film is not about young people, but about us, adults. Although, of course, it's about young people too..." "The film is a mirror that young people have put in front of us, and we are so ashamed to look into it." "Why are we all going to repent! Every time has its own troubles and hardships, and we may have had worse than the current twenty-year-olds." Etc.
The most interesting thing is that it was not fathers and children who argued with each other, as it has been for centuries, the dispute shifted inside the circle of one generation. So, more than others, I remember the remark of a middle-aged woman.: "We get angry at young people for any reason and for no reason. Have you noticed how angry, if not angry, respectable old aunts can be?" The woman spoke in Latvian. In Latvian, levas tante or Martas tante is not just Aunt Ieva or Aunt Marta. There is a shade of respect for age, for the elders, inherent in the Latvian people.
The words about "angry aunts" sounded all the more sharply — a call for tolerance, a sign not only of wisdom, but also of intelligence.
Maybe we need her now more than ever.
It would be nice, however, not to confuse tolerance with tolerance in the heat of controversy...
Another reality
This is how the film creates, in addition to the colorful, funny, "peacock", masquerade, and childish violence, the feeling of another psychological center of action, another reality. This second psychological field is located somewhere in the space "in front of the screen", closer to us, the audience, in a space that is spiritually practical, artistically effective, and, however, quite substantive: somewhere at the intersection of the views cast from the screen by cornered teenagers.
At this psychological point, we are with you. Our confident arrogance towards "them." Our intolerance towards "them" is suddenly replaced by ingratiation, in which they, not without reason, guess a carefully hidden fear. And most of all, it's our guile, our evasive language, which has a formula for everything.: "negative phenomena" are our secret, slavish self-doubt, which we subconsciously compensate for by fiercely bullying "them" who are even weaker than us: our children, who cut off half their heads, paint masks on their faces and hang themselves with cans in order to somehow break through our blind arrogance to us.
Of course, they don't know how to say anything clearly when we finally agree to listen to them. Do we have anything to say? Alas, it would have been easier for us if the ubiquitous "officials" had put such a film on the shelf, and then we would have been relieved to shift our complexes to the "officials" and explained everything by the fact that they had gagged us. However, the film was released. He's coming. And we need to be responsible out loud for the fact that our painted, tin-rattling children go to the point of clownish absurdity in an attempt to start a dialogue with us.
