The Island

I am not among those who need to step on a rusty nail barefoot to test their immune reaction to tetanus, and I am not attracted to mapping blind paths. So it really is a mystery why I thought that I, a secular-oriented individual, could watch a movie, of which approximately one-third is filled with prayers, without consequences. In the British miniseries Time, the hero of the story faces the same dilemma as Anatoly - how to come to terms with oneself and the surrounding world when you have taken a human life? The British teacher undergoes a cleansing test with honor, while Anatoly remains an overgrown child internally, whom the monastery walls and God protect from the complexity of the world, and who until the end does not understand what responsibility for oneself, one's actions, and one's neighbor means. A sad view. Overall impression: 40%. (11.04.2022)
