The man who saw angel. Andrey Tarkovsky - Orthodox

The generation of the 60s, which grew up in the era of Brezhnevsky's timeless, belonged to the films of Tarkovsky with a sense of religious delight. It was a question of faith: if a man loved and understood the "mirror" or "Solaris", he became "his own", if not, there he and the road ... His name was as a password: Tarkovsky looked? - Insider. Such "passwords" was actually a bit - Pasternak, Paradjanov, Hamdamov (the great director, still known only to professionals), Solzhenitsyn, Epros, Schnit, Tomgovatov. Now it became apparent that they are, and not those who were recognized and clusted by the authorities, determined the face of their time, created an unforgettable portrait of the era.

Each of them had a tragic fate. But the life of Tarkovsky is a special conversation. Maybe because it knows incredibly small about him about him. It was not interviewed with him, the fans did not catch him at the entrance, newspapers and magazines or managed his films with silence, or wrote incomplete phrases, for which now ashamed ... I managed to see it once in Tbilisi on the closed watching of the Stalker movie. To make at least some information from his grill under the sort did not succeed. He led a dialogue with himself, not with the audience. In life, he was extremely closed, "sealed" man, not interested in communicating on topics that are not related to art.

But when it was a speech of creativity, the crystal clarity of thought and the clarity of intention occurred. It became clear that he saw the film frames as paintings. After not starting to shoot, in my imagination he has already seen the film in all details. These images tormented him, did not give rest, they drained his body. Long before he was detected cancer, he looked like a living mummy - a face elected with wrinkles, issued a continuous work of thought. As a portrait of Dostoevsky's work, Perov became a symbol of the boors and the search for the intellectual of the 1960s of the 19th century, so the tragic image of Tarkovsky can be considered a symbol of boors and the search for the intellectual of the 60s of the 20th century.

Andrei Arsenievich Tarkovsky was born on April 4, 1932 with a strong concentration of planets in Aries. As many presented this sign, he possessed pressure, ambiguity and ability to implement his intentions. The more resistance he met from the authorities, the desperately he fought. It is his enthusiasm, courage and reluctance to compromise, we are obliged by the fact that we have a "mirror", "Ivanovo Childhood", "Andrei Rublev". He was a real wrestler who did not know what a compromise and retreat is. It is said that during the filming of Rublev, he was very careful about that the era would be recreated as much as possible and in nature. In the desire to achieve your own from the actors, he walked even to make them hurt. And in one of the episodes there was a living cow. Well, in his horoscope really there is Mars in the Aries, who provokes cruelty. The power of desire and passion to embody his vision on the screen is so great that everything retreats to the background. Recall Hitchcock, which during the filming of "birds" made the performer of the leading role of Tsipi Hedren, live to experience the attack of birds. But the fact of the matter is that it was only rumors. In fact, no one came up with no cruel, and there was no cruelty in relation to actors. But it is characteristic that such rumors went about Tarkovsky. His uncompromising and directly created him many problems.

The inner need is always expressed in the horoscope through the moon. The moon in the fish in the horoscope of Tarkovsky is unusually important for understanding his personality. She found her incarnation in the paintings of Tarkovsky, and above all in the "mirror", where literally spills the moonlight. (By the way, the technique of working with color in this film was a revolution in the movies, like the installation in the "Bremeno Potemkin". It was after watching this film Fellini and Bergman acknowledged that they had something to learn from the Russian wizard). The planet in the fish is the sign of the artist, poetic nature, artistic gift. The moon in the fish in the horoscope Tarkovsky found the expression in the bright image of the mother, which permeated the picture. In each frame, a reverent attitude, gentle heat and worship of a woman who gave him life is felt.

In the astrological map of the Tarkovsky moon is in conjunction with the head of the dragon. Traditionally, astrology believes that such an aspect speaks of strong maternal influence, on dependence, on a deep connection that does not disappear, but only deepens with age. Andrei Arsenievich really was all his life in love with his mother. Its reflection can be found in all the few female images in his films - this is Hari in the "Solaris", and for him her spiritual world was a tuning and ideal, the incarnation of which he was looking for, but did not find it in reality. And this search, this melancholy on the "lost paradise" of childhood, this unsaturated thirst to see happiness on Earth and put it in his post-Russian cinema, in two masterpieces - "sacrifice" and "nostalgia".

When these films were first shown in Russia, everyone had a strange sense of inconvenience and shame. It seemed incredible that Tarkovsky, in love with Russia, was ruthlessly thrown abroad and does not even have the right to see his wife and son. He found himself in circumstances when he had no choice. You can imagine that this means for the freedom-loving Aries, which also has the sun in conjunction with the planet freedom of uranium! That's when Pluto began his destructive effect, which has very evil aspects, provoked cancer and untimely care.

Andrei Arsenievich Tarkovsky

And Ndrya Tarkovsky was born on April 4, 1932 in the city of Varazaraye, Ivanovo region. Father, Arseny Alexandrovich is a talented poet and translator. Mom, Maria Ivanovna, Actress, Literary Worker, who ended with the Arsenius of higher literary courses in the All-Russian Union of Poets. And Mom, and the Father later participated in the works of the Son. Father poems sound from the screen in several films Andrei Arsenyevich.

When the future famous director was only five years old, his father left the family. And they lived in Moscow, in the Shchipkovsky lane, which is in Zamoskvorechye. Here Tarkovsky studied at school, along with the other famous Andrei from the world of art - the poet of Voznesensky.

According to memories of classmates, Tarkovsky has already had a sense of selection, aristocraticness in childhood. He was always tidy and fresh among the boys, in his youth dressed defiantly fashionably, although the family was very poor, especially after the father's departure. Andrei was led to Andrei, even with the teachers communicated, as with equal. Apparently, the feeling of inner freedom was in his innate.

In 1951, Andrei enters the Moscow Institute of Oriental Languages \u200b\u200bto the Arab branch, but does not end the course due to the deterioration of health. In 1952-1953, worked in the VNIA non-ferrous metals and gold, then a geologist.

In 1954, Andrew enters the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography. Mikhail Ilyich Romm becomes the teacher of Andrei. Andrei's friendship with Andron Mikhalkov - Konchalovsky is poured into a joint writing of the script for the first film Tarkovsky - "rink and violin". This film became the graduation work of Tarkovsky in VGIK.

The premiere of the first full-length film Andrei Tarkovsky took place in April 1962. Painting "Ivanovo Childhood", created by the novel by Vladimir Bogomolov, in the same year received a gold lion at an international film festival in Venice.

The film "Andrei Rublev" in 1969 was shown in the non-competitive program of the Cannes Film Festival and received a special prize there, but this tape was permitted to international rental only in 1973.

Similarly, the "mirror", a film containing autobiographical motifs, completed in 1974, was resolved to export many years later.

"Solaris", shot in 1971-72, based on the novel of Stanislav Lem's novel, also called the wave of attacks and objections from colleagues. Stalker is the last film, filmed by Andrey in the Soviet Union.

In 1976, Tarkovsky put the tragedy of Shakespeare "Hamlet" in the "Lenk" theater.

In 1980 he was awarded the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR. In the same year, he became the Winner of the Italian Award "David Di Donatello" in the nomination "For the contribution to the cinema" for the retrospective of films.

The 50th anniversary of the director, whose films admired Bergman and Fellini, was not noted anywhere, even on Mosfilm. The requests of Tarkovsky about the work of Goskino ignored, which led to the departure of the director in Italy, where he worked on a contract on the film "Nostalgia". Without the opportunity to shoot part of the film in Russia, he was forced to recreate his homeland against the background of the Italian landscape. Known Tarkovsky believe that separation from the homeland and son Andrei was the cause of his deadly disease. The son of the director was allowed to leave for a sick father only after the demanding letter of President France Francois Mitterian personally, Mikhail Gorbachev. Still working on "nostalgia", Tarkovsky said that the hero of the film would be to the homeland, sitting in a gloomy room, like a hospital ward ....

In the fall of 1983, Andrei Tarkovsky puts the opera Boris Godunov on the stage of the London "Covent Garden". After a year and a half, in 1986, his book "Sculpting In Time". In 1985, he leads to Berlin preparations for the filming of the last film - "sacrifice", which is often called Tarkovsky's testa.

Based on the materials of the Internet

Andrei Tarkovskythe legendary Russian director and screenwriter was born on April 4 in 1932 in the village of Varazia Ivanovo Region, in the family of the famous Russian poet of Arseny Tarkovsky. When Andrei was 5 years old, his father left the family.

Mom Tarkovsky lived in Moscow. Here Tarkovsky studied at school. According to the memoirs of friends, Tarkovsky has already in childhood there was a sense of chosenness, aristocraticness. He was always tidy and fresh among the boys, in his youth dressed defiantly fashionably, although the family was very poor, especially after the father's departure.

In 1951-1952 Andrei Tarkovsky He studied at the Arab branch of the Middle East Faculty of the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies. And maybe I would never have become a director, if it were not for the concussion, obtained in physical education classes. In May 1953, he was credited to the collector (workers) in the research expedition of the NiGrisoloto Institute in the distant Far Eastern Turukhan region. There, he worked for almost a year on the Wild River Kureik, hosted hundreds of kilometers in a taiga and made a whole album of sketches, which was given to the archive of nigrisole.

In 1954 he entered the directorial faculty of Vgika (M. M. M. M. M. Romma - in the same group studied V. Hukhshin). On September 1, in Vgika Tarkovsky met his future wife - Irma. In 1960, Andrei Tarkovsky graduated from the Director of the Faculty and defended the diploma of the short picture of the "skating rink and violin", which in the New York Festival of Student Films in 1961 received the main prize. He then worked from 61 years old on Mosfilm's film studio.

Back in 61nd, Tarkovsky filed a request for the filming "Andrei Rublev", but the shooting was launched only in three years. Therefore, the Full-length Debut of Tarkovsky became the film "Ivanovo Childhood" (the production of which was first given to another director), posed by the Military Status of V. Bogomolov "Ivan". A piercing-tragic story about a teenager who fell to the front (N. Bullyaev), with its contrasting opposition of the light world of childhood and the gloomy realities of the war, made a genuine sensation in world movies. This film was awarded many prestigious cinematic premiums. After the "Ivanov of Childhood", Tarkovsky and Irma had a son of Arseny.

At the same time the director began working on the picture about Andrei Rublev. In the scenario, written in conjunction with A. Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky, the duality of the costume-historical saga and the copyright film preach was overlooked. The shooting of the painting (started in 1964) were difficult. Communist officials from the art of the progress in the film are some unprofitable parallels with modern reality, many semi-armed "art historians in civilian clothes" annoyed and unusual form of the work. With big censorship amendments "Andrei Rublev" was released in the domestic rental of a limited number of kinine. But abroad, our party leaders bragged by the picture of Tarkovsky, demonstrating that even with socialism, an unusual artist has the ability to be implemented.

For the twenty years of work in the cinema, the director was allowed to make only five films in their homeland, and the exit of each of them was accompanied by humiliating bullying - endless pick-ups, amendments, an organization by the press in the press, political charges, although the Tarkovsky did not led any combination with the communists.

In 1969, the French company that received the rights to foreign rental "Rublev", successfully showed him at the Cannes Festival (FIPRESSI Award, 1969). After that, the film for many years has become the object of the audience at the USSR, and Tarkovsky was firmly established in the rank of the main "Estet" and "nonconformist" of the Soviet screen. The picture was included in the number of 100 best films in the movie history.
In 1970. Andrei Tarkovsky Officially divorced with Irma. The relationship of Tarkovsky and son arsenia did not work out .... Later Andrei Tarkovsky married again.
Soon the aesthetic and ideological-moral creed of Tarkovsky found an equally bright expression and in the genre of film fantasics. Unlike Rublev, the heroes of the philosophical fiction drama "Solaris" (according to the novel of the S.Loma novel) - these are representatives of the technocratic civilization of the future, living in an artificial Mirka of the space station. However, Tarkovsky conducted his idea of \u200b\u200bthe original, "divine" spirituality of a person, extending it beyond the limits of national and cultural borders (in the attributes of the film Rublevskaya Trinity, it is equal to the music of I.S. Bach and P. Breigel's music, and the composition of the final frame is literal Quote Rembrandt). In Cannes (1972), except for the special prize of the jury, "Solaris" also received the prize of the International Evangelical Center.
At the same time, in 1972, Tarkovsky carried out his first theatrical statement on the play of Shakespeare "Hamlet". Returned to the stage of Tarkovsky only in 1983, putting in London on the stage "Covent Garden" Performance "Boris Godunov".

The highest achievement of Tarkovsky was the "mirror" (1974), where his muse philosophical and poetic reflection is not made by the framework of the traditional plot, but only finds the fragment that needs it in the rich set of visual associations and memories of the artist - the author and hero. The meaning structure of the picture turned out to be surprisingly multidimensional - along with philosophical-poetic "codes" in some episodes, a note of political dissent (episode in the printing house, etc.) was easily decidant. The film practically did not receive the rental and aggravated the hidden confrontation of the director and power. At a joint meeting of the board of Goskino and the Secretariat of the Board of the Union of Cinematographers, the picture of Tarkovsky was called incomprehensible, not mass and generally not successful. Andrei Arsenievich had its own opinion on this subject: "Since the film is still art, it cannot be clear more than all other arts ... I do not see any sense in the mass ... some kind of myth about my inaccessibility and incomprehensibility was born ".

Tracheming to the new project, Tarkovsky writes scripts, reads lectures on the director, puts Hamlet in the Leninsky Komsomol Theater (1977).
In 1980, Tarkovsky was awarded the title of People's Artist of the RSFSR. At the same time, in fact, the conflict with the authority only deepened.

"Traveling Time" Tarkovsky shot in Italy: Requests of the director about work Goskino ignored, which led to departure. "Time of Travel" is a documentary about Tarkovsky and his friend Tonino Guerra in Italy. In the experiences of the Gorchakov sorted from the native roots of the writer - the main character of the next creation: "Nostalgia" - almost the "mirror" reflected his own state of spiritual bitterness and despair. After filming the 'nostalgia' Tarkovsky offered abroad to work again, he agreed. However, vigilant party officials considered that he was enough to strike abroad and should be returned to the USSR. Although no work was offered to him. Since childhood, endowed with an increased sense of self-esteem, Andrei Tarkovsky decided that he had to manage his destiny himself. He refused to return to the Soviet Union, for which he was immediately declared a traitor, the films were seized from the rental, the name was denied. The spouse and son refused to release to Tarkovsky abroad. However, the excitement from separation from the family may be forever, as well as undoubted experiences for a sharp turn in fate, affected his health.
In Sweden, Tarkovsky began shooting his last film 'Sacrifice' - chamber philosophical parable.

Meanwhile, health continued to deteriorate. Doctors put a terrible diagnosis: lung cancer. French movie star Marina Vlady, associated with Russia and origin, and family bonds (she was a long time wife Vladimir Vysotsky), provided Tarkovsky all kinds of assistance, including the material. He led to an expensive and prestigious hospital in the suburb of Paris, but medicine was already powerless.
When the news came about a terrible diagnosis, Tarkovsky were in a complex material situation. Money for "sacrifice" was not yet received; There was no medical insurance, and the course of treatment demanded significant money - 40 thousand francs. Money for this was given Marina Vlad. Having learned about the distress situation, she took out a checkbook without unnecessary words and wrote a check on the right amount. In the future, the husband of Marina Vlady, Professor Leon Schwarzenberg became the attending physician of Andrei.
Known Tarkovsky believe that separation from the homeland and son Andrei was the cause of his deadly disease. The son of the director was allowed to leave for a sick father only after the demanding letter of President France Francois Mitterian personally, Mikhail Gorbachev.
On December 29, 1986, Andrei Tarkovsky "left" ... hundreds of people gathered in the courtyard of the Holy Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, where Andrey fought. In the church steps, Mstislav Rostropovich on the cello played an elevated and strict "sashanda" of Bach.
Last Jobs Andrei Tarkovskyit became the Russian cemetery in Paris: Saint-Geneva de Boua. On the grave of Tarkovsky inscription: "A man who saw Angela" - Tarkovsky often said that an angel helps him in his work ...

December 21, twenty-nine years ago, Nyir-sur-Sen-Sep at the age of fifty, Nyur-sur-Sen at the age of fifty, Paris, who added Eternal Andrei Tarkovsky, who added Seven notes and seven colors of the rainbow to seven notes and seven colors of the rainbow to seven notes and seven colors. He knew about the work of something from the creator himself, it was not by chance on his monument at the Paris Cemetery of St. Geneva-de-Boua, "the man who saw Angela" was inscribed. We offer readers a few thoughts of Andrei Arsenyevich about creativity and art.

• In my opinion, the goal of our existence here, on Earth, is to spiritually elevated. So, art should serve this ...


• Knowing more and more distracts man from the main goal, from the main thought. The more we know - the less we know. If, for example, we deepen, it prevents us from seeing widespread. Art needs a person to raise over himself, using his free will ...


• The artist must experience some pressure. I do not know which one, but should. If the world is in order, in harmony, it does not need art. It can be said that art exists only because the world is poorly arranged.


• Art, like science, is a way to master the world, the instrument of his knowledge on the path of human movement to the so-called "absolute truth".


• However, here and ends the similarity of these two forms of the embodiment of a creative human spirit, where, I dare to insist, creativity is not opening, but the creation.


• The artistic discovery occurs every time as a new and unique image of the world, the hieroglyph of the absolute truth. It appears as a revelation, as an instantaneous and passionate desire for intuitive comprehension of all citizens of the world, its beauty and disgrace, his humanity and cruelty, its infinity and limitedness. The artist expresses, creating an artistic image - a peculiar catcher of the absolute.


• An authentic artistic image should express not only the search for a poor artist with his human problems, with his desires and needs. He must reflect the world. But not the world of the artist, and the path of man to the truth.


• The path is false, according to which modern art rushed, refused by searching for the meaning of life in the name of the approval of self-reliable personality. The so-called creativity begins to seem in some strange exercise of suspicious personalities, approving the self-sufficient value of the personified act.


• The artist is always a servant trying to pay for his gift, given to him as a miracle!


• Why is a modern artist wants immediate fee for what he is doing? More recently, a hundred years ago, the artists believed that they had to work, and how their fate would work out - this is the matter of God, they do not answer for it.


• The only condition for the struggle for their right to create is faith in its destination: readiness to serve and uncompromising. Creativity really demands from the artist "the death of seriously", in the most tragic sense of said.


• The terrible is always imprisoned in the beautiful, as well as beautiful in terrible. Life is mixed on the yeast of this great to the absurdity of contradiction, which in art appears simultaneously in harmonic and dramatic unity.


• Beautiful hidden from the eye of those who do not charge the truth to whom it is contraindicated.


• Modern mass culture designed for the "consumer" creaches the souls, blocking a person to the indigenous issues of its existence, to the awareness of himself as the creatures of spiritual.


• The goal of art is to prepare a person to death, plow and explode his soul, make it capable of turning to good.


• Goette a thousand times right, saying that it's hard to read a good book as to write it.

My dear, you are very often on your life path meeting people who do not understand who bring you any harm that your life "spoil" your life, bringing a disorder and grief into it.

But know, because they appeared in your life not just so, everything is there a definite goal - to teach you something, give you the necessary experience that will help your further growth and development in this embodiment.

Under the word "enemy", I mean not only your real enemies that really interfere with your existence that builds you the goats that arrange to you any problems, but I mean both people who meet on your life path and you Feel your dislike, feel any irritation to them.

From them may not come sufficient level of light to which you are accustomed, and your inner being sometimes perceives them as its "enemies" at the subconscious level.

They did nothing wrong with you, but you simply feel their inner negativeness, just see their erroneous attitude to life, they are very bogged down in the material plan and in the values \u200b\u200bof this world.

These people live in the old energies of three dimensions and their whole life is concluded: in the struggle for survival, in the discussion of disasters and cataclysms, in gossip and in the peres, in condemnations and in comparisons, and you live a completely different life and in a completely different world where there is : Love, joy, happiness.

And the presence of such people in your life is manifested by your inner rejection. Subconsciously, you also consider them with your "enemies."

And the first and second type of "enemies" will help you in spiritual development and perfection:

• learn to understand them
• learn not to condemn them
• learn not to deal with them,
• learn to take them as they are,
• learn to thank them for the lesson they provided to you.

After all, those "enemies" who arrange to you trouble and bring into your life a non-harmonic energy, help you become a man - God. Learn to look at all the problematic situations in your life, like God, - do not fight them, and be over them.

Tell me: "Does this situation really can harm me? She is nothing in my beautiful and harmonious world! "

And all the negative, that people will want to transfer you to: His inner irritation, their pursues, their scandals, for all you will look like a divine creature, and it will seem to you so insignificant because you have long live in a completely different world. You left three-dimensional experience and can look at the situation differently.

And for those who else can live like that, cannot completely disconnect from the power of the three-dimensional world, and they are "hardened" people with a low vibration with their complaints about problems and interfere with living in harmony and in love, I suggest to have the following practice.

How to see angel

To begin with, you can simply imagine what I will talk about, and later do it in my real life.

When you meet in your life of a stimulus person, we will also call it your "educational enemy," - you see his inner darkness, you feel his non-harmonic energies, you feel his negativity and irritability.

Now see in it a part of God, in each person there lives a divine golden angel with beautiful shining wings. It is hidden inside each of you behind the dark shell of non-harmonic energy.

It is in the depths of the human being - this is his true essence, this is his pure soul, and all the annoying energy is what a man plunged, embodied on earth to receive experience.

He until he can feel his bright soul, but over time, this knowledge will come to him, he will feel his divinity, he, like you, will reach this step of spiritual development, all his time.

Maybe it's too early, he has not yet received a three-dimensional experience in his soul, he could not fully plunge into this darkness: prejudices, fears, vices ... in these low energies to see and feel their inner light and choose it.

And when you will be located in crowded places: on the street, in the store, in the cinema, in the theater and at the same time to meet low-way people, from which non-harmonic energies are smoldering, always imagine their golden angels.

At the same time, all the energy that will come from these people to you will simply evaporate, it simply will not happen, simply dissolve in space. You will see not lost and lost in the life of a person with all your problems and hatred in the soul, and you will see this angel, this is a divinely beautiful creature of the world and can not love him.

It will help you understand how to see an angel and take all people as they are.

And this is my help to you.
