Happy 2024! Already on January 1, the long-awaited continuation of the film “Slave” started showing in the Russian box office.
The first part of this comedy was released in the winter of 2020 for 3.044 billion rubles, becoming at that time the highest-grossing film shown in cinemas in Russia and the CIS.
We have already attended the premiere and are ready to share our impressions.
The story has become larger, there is more humor, but there is a nuance
What is the movie about: “Slave 2” continues the story of re-educating spoiled heirs, but this time with a new character and an increased scope. The plot centers on the daring and carefree Katya, played by Aglaya Tarasova, the daughter of an influential official who lives a life of luxury and carefree. Her behavior is out of control, and her actions greatly anger Grisha, the main character of the first part.
After witnessing her crazy antics, he decides that she desperately needs a course of re-education. As a result, in the spirit of the first film, Katya finds herself transported back in time, where her hero learns the basics of modesty, responsibility, respect for others and even love for her homeland.
Movie scope of regulation predecessor.
The action of the story gradually moves from a simple village to a round palace, instead of a small group of peasants, a much larger mass is seen, especially closer to the denouement of the story. These changes include visual additions and speakers.
Humor remains one of the strengths of the film, combining sharpness and lightness. Circumstances surprise her with funny moments and circumstances in which the heroes are present. Well, the role of Pavel Derevyanko caused a sincere hunt in the cinema hall.
If it were, success would be guaranteed. More scale, more drama, more extras! Here you can find ballroom dancing and mobile applications.
The film concerns amaze us visually, but sometimes forgets that the heart of comedy is humor, which here comes from low-key to “haven’t we seen that already?” Still, at times there is a feeling of self-repetition, especially with regard to the arguments of minor characters.
You can probably compare this with the second part of Home Alone. The same characters, the same plot, new locations and more complex circumstances.
The opening chase and the impressive fight scene are surprisingly impressive. The case when play for the entire budget.
In the first case, the heroine rode like a breeze along the rivers and canals of St. Petersburg. Secondly, the viewer will have to see a costumed combat disaster. Horses, explosions, special effects, scale. All this is pleasantly surprising.
New character – great unpredictability
Due to the fact that the main role is played by a woman with unexpected behavior, the plot also manages to surprise from time to time.
Parallel to Katya’s plot, the film also explores the internal vicissitudes of Grisha, who, despite his “rebirth”, still seeks the approval and love and respect of his father. In addition, the hero is still trying to understand what it means to be a truly good person.
In many ways, the second part rests on the hero Okhlobystin as the main source of bright colloquial humor. Each of his appearances was accompanied by subtle quotes that could make you smile.
I will note the musical accompaniment, which constantly resorts to classical music and effectively creates the atmosphere of the film at the right moments.
The story is comedic, but at the same time touching an adventure that makes you laugh, but also pay attention to other phenomena.
Despite all its merits, the film faces certain difficulties, including repeating the plot of the first part. However, this does not create an overall impression of an entertaining and interactive movie that continues the tradition of traditional cinema.
The film tries to teach us necessary life lessons about the need for personal growth and justice.
Although it remains a mystery to understand why the main character should change her character and behavior after all the tests she has passed.
Look? Yes and again – yes
The film may not claim to be a cinematic masterpiece, but it will no doubt provide a treat for those looking for some light, fun entertainment this holiday season.
“Slave 2” leaves you with a pleasant impression: it lacks vulgar and toilet jokes, but ironically touches on current topics of power and patriotism.
The acting and visuals are also top notch. We recommend.
