Overview
In 2013, there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the United States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare, and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope.
The movie left a strange impression.
GG, during the course of the film, is presented as three completely different people. In the beginning, such a dodger, a cheat, an adventurer. He built a whole collective farm. He was fed and given rations for the journey. Then the lazy seal. He lies in a hut on a cot. And he doesn't need anything. At the end of the film, in general, it is purely Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. The organizer of the armed struggle with the protagonist and that's all.
And what was the contradiction with the protagonist? The pure Untold Joe from Mad Max. He is building a civilization on the ruins of the world. Here he has a mounted army. Here is a single form. A garment factory. And somewhere behind the scenes there is an agricultural holding to feed all this. Carries out expansion. Probably to unite the country. He behaves, of course, like an oriental despot. Where man is equal to an ant. Well, the wheel of history has turned back. All around, you see, the tribal system, darkness and lack of intelligence. Where the pinnacle of technology is a moonshine still.
And that means that the GG case has won. At the end of the film, suburbia, yachts, shaved lawns, the monument is unveiled. In short, the American way of life. Well, American. After the profitable two world wars, the Marshall Plan and the reserve world currency. It seems that the antagonist of the film led to this?!
I see a kind of schizophrenia.
In short, it is watchable, only the semantic first third of the film.
