#6_Cinema
Yesterday I went to the cinema to watch "Territory". It is a story about geologists. The setting is Arctic, early 1960s. Territory is a name of a tin-bearing region, where a group of selfless people tried to find gold. The thing I liked most of all was the work of cameraman. I was very impressed with nature scenes. This is a very harsh beauty of the Far North. Ice, snow, stones, and water. And a polar day. And endless expances of people-free Territory. I also liked acting. But some things did not allow me to enjoy this film completely. There are a lot of odd scenes (especially at the beginning of the film) with unknown people, and some conversations seemed unnatural to me. But the main idea of the film is very clear - there is nothing better (or more important) than to live according your dream. But you should be a good men.
The film is base on a book of Oleg Kuvaev. He was a geologist and worked at Chukotka. There he started writing. In 1960 he gave up geology and bacame a professional writer. "Territory" is his most famos novel. I learned that it was translated to English, German, French, Polish, Spain and other languages. For my shame, I did not read it. But I am going to.
