Unpacking Review: Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:09] June 25, another Russian film was released throughout Russia . Oh, the clip is at 3:30. Gas for a masterpiece. Unpacking with Vlad Kobikov in the leading role. Who is this [music], I think I don’t need to explain to you.

[00:21] Lipov. Co-author of the script for another film, "Not Alone at Home," with Milana Khametova. The film itself is something. A mediocre carbon copy of a French classic, a entire film. And, [ __ ], I'm the only one who hasn't watched this film by

[00:36] Of course, Kame Artem, but I was told that after Unpacking. What? The film has already grossed over 80 million rubles at the box office, which, however, hasn't hurt.

[00:49] How many millions? So, it's 100% payback. What is the bleh in the rental. What, however, did not interfere? Wait, unpacking. The film's unpacking budget is definitely a budget comedy. We can follow the financial details. There's

[01:04] no information at all. Why is there no information about how much it costs? Five wave of negativity. At least why it has shitty reviews.

[01:17] example, a weak script and cringe-worthy humor, basically pours himself a cup of kefir. By the way, in fact, we have this as a base for Russian cinema, and frankly, despite all these moments of cringe-worthy humor. I don't understand why

[01:30] we can't just floor it and do it like the Koreans do, when it's so exaggeratedly cringey that it's funny. That is, it’s as if he’s trying to be adequate, although he’s already standing there, well, just put the gas to the floor and do

[01:44] as they do. Isn't it? We dive into a dense swamp with Kobyakov and Lebedev. Let's go. Russian cinema. What is its main feature? No, it’s not that it’s a priori unwatchable crap, although that can be argued.

[01:56] features. Well, now you'll understand what I'm talking about. You see, all Russian films of recent years are either adaptations of Russian fairy tales or parodies Yes, well, defenders, in my opinion, this is the only such example. I don't

[02:09] remember any attempts to make blockbusters after them. It's not true, what other blockbusters were there? No, wait, there was something. There was something for myself and for Sasha, it seems. don’t remember any more blockbusters. Movie. The Tale of Tsar Saltan. Brownie.

[02:23] These are fairy tales, these are the fairy tales that are being hyped up here now. They are constantly re-shooting. Major. Ah, Okay, Major Grom, this isn't fair, guys. Major Grom is literally the only adequate superhero here. We have Kuzya sour milk. It's just an old idea in a

[02:36] new wrapper. On the other hand, the parody of the general, the trend is obvious. And as you can imagine, our example today was no exception. The main plot of the film: A grown man who ends up with

[02:49] guess what? Right. Completely licked. Legendary French painting. Toy from 1976. By the way, there is this original, there is a French

[03:02] this original, there is a French remake, where the main roles are, I think, the guy who played, remember, Rixie Abilixie. Here it is, there is a this is our weather with the first Reshard in the leading role.

[03:14] That's right, maybe the movie itself isn't that bad. So, the film begins with the introduction of the main characters. The first, our beloved Vlad Prince. No, no, not Gerardi Parde, that little one there, the one from Strum,

[03:26] little one there, the one from Strum, remember, he was in some half-clip or name. Ikorm is an artist and vlogger. probably too. Well, in short, he was probably with him, with this

[03:38] French guy. Well, in short, the one everyone always takes pictures with. He even does a concert at a large venue. But the managers are grumbling that without a sodout they will be hated. And not just anyone, but Homeo Artemy Lebedeva himself. The second main

[03:50] character is a boy named Borya, the son of an oligarch. As befits a dem oligarch, he constantly boasts and because of this he cannot find a common language with his peers, as well as with the girl he likes. There was no second hand, in my opinion, he

[04:02] Yes, right now, wait, I'll find it now. Wait, now in 2022 there's a new toy. Well, the plot there is literally the same as the gift. Here too, also also French, also all this is

[04:14] for the purpose of attracting such a conflict. Well, okay. Normally, as many people as possible. The blogger's creative team comes up with an interactive experience. A prize in the form of Kobikov will be raffled off among all those who buy a ticket . He will come to

[04:26] the lucky one for a week and will have all kinds of fun with him there. It would seem, what could go wrong? The idea was approved, a commercial was filmed, and suddenly all person. As you might have guessed, this is the

[04:39] oligarch’s son Boris. He wanted to get the blogger Izils, who was just being watched by the girl he liked. Anyway, a car comes for Vladislav, and then I noticed one interesting detail. The filming location, where the pub's office was located according to the plot

[04:51] . Then I saw the flags in the background and I understood everything. You see, the fragment was filmed in Belarus in one of the popular locations in the city of Minsk. This is logical, since Kobikov himself is Belarusian and still has very close ties to this country. And here's the

[05:04] problem. I'm from Minsk myself, and when the unpacking came out, I intended to run to the nearest cinema. But that's not the problem. . Just wait, stop. How does this happen? That is, part of the film was shot in

[05:18] Belarus, but not a single cinema showed it. How did this weird? Not on one. So one of the pirated cinemas on the Internet.

[05:31] our Telegram channel. That is, they just saw it, said that it was , well, some kind of feces and or why it was We communicate there regularly and make roses. Collections: 80 million rubles. The budget is

[05:45] Fine. Anyway, subscribe, it's a lot of fun. One way or another, the blogger is brought to Papa Boris’s residence. He meets Kobikov and signs a contract with him for 1 ruble. After all, Vlad says that money is not important to him. Then the

[05:58] combined commander meets Boris himself. The boy, as expected, has a He reads films and books only in the original. In short, that same son of my mother’s friend. So, the to have fun, filming it all on video at the same time . I won't go into detail about how

[06:12] nothing interesting there. I'll just say that there was a ton of content and the audience loved it. That same girl sees this and writes to Borya here to say: "Wow, cool." The next day, Borys asks Kobikov to impress one of his acquaintances. Vladik

[06:25] immediately figures out what's going on, and they go off together to have fun with Dasha, that's the girl's name. And so they are having fun, when suddenly it comes to air hockey. Fight manages to score one goal, but then Vladislav evens the score and destroys the guy

[06:38] in the very first round. Then, when the duelists changed places, Boris asked the blogger to submit, but he refused. To be honest, it's strange. Well, the guy him once. Well, no, I don’t understand the combicorn thing at all

[06:50] victory? Well, [ __ ], this is creating a problem. It's like a teaching moment. A guy who always considers himself better than others, who always bought everything with money, meets a principled person

[07:03] who does not agree with this point and will, well, put pressure on him. And at that moment he will understand that he needs to become really better in order to, uh, well, not be in this, it turns out, not be in this mask, you know, true sincerity. Well

[07:19] girl all about it. Anyway, the game continues and Boriska is released in from that moment on. Well, yes, yes, that’s the problem, you see, he starts off screwing up, disgracing himself, then becomes stronger. That's right, that's right. Here, well, there is a

[07:34] default discord in the relationship between the boy and his toy. So, Borya systematically humiliates Vlados, blackmailing him by saying that otherwise he will not return the tickets to sale. In my nerves and he wants to break the contract. Luckily, the father is an oligarch who

[07:47] his son doesn’t mind. In short, Vlados By the way, Boris returned the tickets, but apparently it was because of greed. And now past mistakes are forgotten. Preparations for the concert are in full swing. Kobikov goes on a podcast

[08:00] that arrogance is one of the worst human traits. Oh, damn. And in the end he will understand that he was wrong and change. And Kobikov will return to him, and everything will be fine. Yes. And do you know what prompts him to think about making peace

[08:15] with Boris? Some kind of doll of a co-worker's child. Just a doll. No subtext, no hidden meaning or reflection, just spontaneous. It's like a default for screenwriters. That is, they came up with, in short, uh, they apparently

[08:29] took the main, so it turns out, the synapsis of the story from the French original. Uh, we put it in, it turned out well. They churned out a huge amount of ADHD content for TikTok, eh, they created a problem, and then it turned out they

[08:43] had to somehow get around it. And in what way? [ __ ] knows. Because instead of developing the characters, leaving those very guns that will later help them in this, well, in this situation, they just gave up and were like:

[08:57] "Well, let's just remember him, he'll get lonely or nostalgically pleased, because of this he'll write to him: "He'll come, hug, and the guy will just change." A trigger. Oh well. Anyway, Vlados asks his monarchs to

[09:10] secretly send Boriska an invitation to the concert. After all, Dasha will be going there too. But the oligarch dad declines the invitation. Then Kobikov goes to the oligarch dad and asks him to let Boriska go, but he refuses. And you know what this genius came up with

[09:22] ? Well, I mean, Kobikov? Take an amp, a guitar, and on the day of the concert go play for one [ __ ] Boris. And am I right in understanding that between them, properly yet, judging by what he says Author?

[09:35] mean, imagine, thousands of kids are standing there mean, imagine, thousands of kids are standing there somewhere under graphite, uh, waiting. And where is Kobikov? Where is our Kobikov? Where is he? Where is he? He's like, "And he's gone." A

[09:47] game for a person he, frankly, doesn't give a [ __ ] about. He even remembered him completely by accident when some doll fell. And then he decided to screw you all over for him. Friendship, what is this? It's even, well, I'm saying, I understand

[10:00] that he's retelling it. And, most likely , if I look, I see some answers to my questions, uh, to my questions. But even from the story, it's history shouldn't work like this. The singing of total abuse from the

[10:16] overfed shkit was for the sake of sold-out for a concert, which people are also working on, by the way. But no, our superhero Kombikorm definitely knows what's best. It's good that he turned on the stream on stage and explained it to his Fan, what's what. Hey,

[10:28] thanks for the stream, bro. We paid 2,000 rubles. We can't refund the tickets . Thanks so much for clarifying. Some people from other cities came to see you, that red mane, it turns out, and you, it

[10:41] turns out, went to see the oligarch. Respect, Kobikov, we understand everything. Kovyak starts singing. Boris wants to go see him, but Tyuran, his father, won't let him. Then the guy barricades himself in the room and starts playing along with Kovikov on the

[10:53] keys. His oligarch father is pounding on the door, when suddenly his old teacher, cited as an authority, calls him. She scolds her former student for his mischief and asks him to let Borka live for a while. Which, naturally,

[11:06] works wonders on him. He comes to his senses and goes to the concert with his son . Well, the ending is just 10 minutes of Kobikov's concert. Well, that's all . Well, would you skip a concert to

[11:18] perform for an oligarch? Of course, guys, of course, guys, because, well, you have to understand. A doll fell before my eyes. I immediately realized that this person was the closest thing I had in my life. Well, you have to understand. I

[11:30] don't worry, I'll hook you up with a stream. So, I've briefly described the plot of the film's set. It's not very high quality, just 1.20. Although for Kobikov's target audience, even this figure is too much. Heck, even I watched this masterpiece sometimes at 1.25,

[11:43] sometimes at 15x speed. Well, let's get down to the analysis and determine. unwatchable crap. Let me quickly remind you about our Telegram channel. of all, let's point out a second. What's wrong with

[11:57] this ordinary commercial passé. It doesn't have any deep meaning or It . A hackneyed idea, a predictable plot, clichéd the oligarch and his son, is shown here, well, in the most stereotypical way possible. Expensive vases,

[12:11] a bunch of mugs for his son, a piano, security, a palace, and so on. Very know, in some moments it was frankly drawn out, and many phrases on. Stupid. Yes, yes, yes.

[12:26] square meter. First, the quality of modern music, then the question of fathers and sons. By the way, there were most likely some songs by Kubikova. This isn't just, uh, not just a film for the sake of a film. Most likely , most likely there were other

[12:41] Thank you very much, Kudryash. Thank you very much. So, Kobikov tracks, he probably posted some album. And that's where the jokes come from. some. Now. Here, OST Kobikov. The intonation of the rest. Only one song. Which one?

[13:05] Where are they? And now my favorite column, unpacking. How long can we wait for you? We have everything ready. Here is your suit. Let's go two.

[13:20] [music] Here, here the song starts, I think.

[13:33] If life plays, you are lucky in it. You opened [singing] your eyes, and the sun is burning above you . A round ball runs so fast in a circle. You start on repeat [music][singing] this song on repeat. In the world where it plays. By the way,

[13:46] say each read the role, hiding all your dreams behind concrete and a wall. Remember, you are the only one in hundreds of millions. Be yourself [music][singing] and dream. Stop, stop, stop. Kobikop, I asked you to play more lively.

[14:03] No, okay, just kidding. Come on. okay, just kidding. Come on. And smile. Children. love your smile. Okay. Scene one, shot one, take two.

[14:15] You're the only one, be yourself [singing][music] and dream. This is all your movie. Everything you've [music] wanted for a long time. You're your own director, color

[14:28] motor [music] come on. Release your dreams into the sky like a kite [music] fly up. Transparent [singing] clouds, trust yourself [music] and dream. Don't chase the expensive stuff.

[14:43] Oh, what the [ __ ] are you? Rich. Aah. Happiness isn't in the amount of money. I checked. Fill your heart with love and kindness. Your happiness is near. Touch it [music] with your hand. [singing] And when the city is covered by thick clouds, remember

[14:58] . And the sun will definitely shine after the rain . Okay, put a comma at the end instead of a period. Dream, [music] This whole [ __ ] movie of yours

[15:10] completely off-base. Parenting, arrogance, the benefit of bloggers, and all this in 3 minutes. The verses are cool. The chorus is just completely off- In short, it's too overloaded. It's hard to find the main idea. Nevertheless, I

[15:22] managed it. The most obvious thing is that parents shouldn't overprotect their children, they blah-blah-blah-blah-blah. But what is the main point of the film? What is the idea, for example, of that very French film "Toy" that the authors of the unpacking were trying to peel off

[15:34] ? It's about selling yourself, selling a person as a toy, well, so-so. In all fairness, this is exactly what they should have been conveying to us. And then the most interesting part begins. A few weeks before the film's premiere, the

[15:47] real Kobikov records a video. He says: "Guys, you have a unique chance to solve the rebus in the end credits. And among those who can handle it, a prize will be raffled off. You'll never guess, it was Kobikov himself." Yes, literally like in the movie, the ruler

[16:00] comes to you, and a billionaire, like Presnikov's son, actually comes to him True, it's not for a week, but just for a day. What the hell difference does it make? Do you movie is literally telling us: "For a person to become someone else's plaything is

[16:13] bad." Don't do that." And then we, well, they, yeah, yeah, [ __ ], because, well, they, yeah, yeah, [ __ ], because, [ __ ], this is done over children, well, it's done. Children don't understand what's bad and what's good. For them, it's funny that Kobikov

[16:27] she comes out, but for them, this very moment is the And it works on them. The actor, a popular blogger, the main face of this , yeah, well, well, like, no." In short, complete madness. Otherwise, as I already

[16:42] probably worth noting some of the positives. For example, the film is pretty [ __ ] based on other films. Well, it's like you're new to Russian cinema. Personally, I liked the oligarch Batya Boris. The picture is also well-built.

[16:54] He's quite charismatic. He, however, always plays the same and That same role, like, [ __ ], I'm evil, rich, a jerk, and cool. It's like Nageev, who's also always bald, angry, and confident.

[17:09] Satisfied. Well, personally, I would recommend a , if you're going to watch it at all , at least watch him, he's the same everywhere, generally at 25x speed everywhere. It's really more convenient that way. Well, my

[17:22] opinion, by the way, is even in Happy Together, when they cast him. But he's the Oh, by the way, did you watch the rich, [ __ ], confident now. He's less confident altogether. They only recognized us from ours.

[17:34] I remember there was something about football too. He played the same thing there. Write in played the same thing there. Write in the comments, which one is this one, they were sailing on some yacht and, I think, ended up on an unknown island. Something

[17:46] . In short, it's literally the same. Everything is the already for him. You wanted a CD with my clubs [music] You wanted a CD with my clubs [music] night vi. You thought you found your paradise. Well,

[18:01] why then [music] makes you so lonely? You wanted to run Cityla. lonely? You wanted to run Cityla. Ah.
