the Film "White sun of the desert" has become legendary and cult immediately after on the big screen, it was back in 1969, almost 50 years ago.
it seems to Me that the image Sukhova has become so popular because it accurately embodied the archetypal image of the Russian men, the collective unconscious, that perfect image that serves as a model for many men and women to this day. Why this is so, will seek to address, demonstrate in the article.
men Sukhov from the film White sun of the desert" itemprop="image" src='/foto/uploaded/upl_1538109313_185532.jpg'>
From the movie we find out that Sukhov soldiers, returning through the endless Sands of Central Asia, home to the distant green, birch, full of grasses, Russia, after the successful conclusion of its long military campaign "from the Amur to Turkestan", in the service of the victorious Russian red Army.
the Image of a soldier returning home from war or back from vacation in part - is a popular subject of Russian folk tales and tales about the resourceful soldier.
These parable stories were popular in the time of Peter, in the reign of Peter the great. They are preserved in the collections "Russian soldier's tale", "Resourceful soldiers." "Resourceful soldier" Nechaev and Privalov collected cautionary tale about Peter the great and the simple Russian soldier, cheerful in spite of the hardships of the indentured life:
"the Soldier's share - not our own will. In the war-everyone has: a fever, exasperated, and the wind blows and the rain wets, and rust wears away the heart".
the soldier, exhibiting self-control, patience, and resourcefulness and ingenuity. So this way people valued and carefully preserved, even 300 years ago.
Another characteristic tale of a Russian soldier, which I not so much read, how many watched the cartoon on TV is a Russian folk tale "Porridge from axe". Present it in its evaluation of the interpretation:
the Old grandmother had not shown generosity to a hungry soldier, experiencing the miserliness (greediness together with pettiness and envy). Soldiers, accustomed to not fair treatment, even eyebrow does not lead to such behavior, and grandmother, managed by cunning to skillfully wrap the adverse circumstances with your advantage, unfair the world is fixed, establishing order and establishing justice, and even the production has received (ax) as the punishment of a stingy old woman.
In the end, the soldiers then he ate the grandmother fed the axe got! ("Yes, you see, he didn't Uvarov, somewhere on the road to cook a little longer Yes go to Breakfast" and "immediately stashed the axe in the backpack, said goodbye to the hostess and went to another village").
Here, I think, can be easily highlighted and values of the Russian people: generosity (manifested in the form of hospitality, indifference and sympathy, empathic understanding of others ' misery) and justice (as a measure of essence, of meaning, of the opposing empty and lukaviy, excuses, lies and rationalizations, "Babkin" words).
Apparently, this tale "Porridge from axe" typical of the Napoleonic wars and Suvorov's campaigns, that is so 200 years ago, the archetype of the Russian peasant soldier was crystallized, it became more precise and clear, and the text descriptions of the tale is markedly decreased (it is quite short, this story).
With the advent of cinema, the tale embodied in the form of a cartoon, and then appeared feature film "White sun of the desert", which is already embodied visual, lively and dramatic image of the archetype of the Russian men – comrade Sukhov, resourceful and experienced soldier, the defender of "liberated women of the East", however, faithful to his wife – "unforgettable Ekaterina Matveevna".
what is the Sukhov the same soldier from the tale of porridge axe, a man skilled and experienced, which solves out of the box virtually any task, showing powers of observation, intelligence, imagination, ingenuity and flexibility of thinking, and shows one replica of the bandit, which caught and still can't catch him, because he always manages to get away from the chase, runs away:
"In the old castle, it is across the pipe it was necessary to take".
Unexpectedly, right?
Thus, leaves to Sukhov, it is already a visual, artistic way embodied the very soul of the Russian people, the very deep essence and salt – the archetype of the Russian man: caring and loyal, generous and romantic, fair and economical, clever and original, fearless, and unpredictable.
