"For thousands of years the victims in our veins." 6 piercing phrases from the "Chernobyl"
News Cinema / / December 19, 2019
"Chernobyl" from HBO is nearing completion. Released last series, after seeing that hardly anyone will miss so heavy and poignant series.
His dialogues are very long settle in each viewer's memory. They hit right on target, revealing incredible lies, which had to pay a lot of lives. Here are just a few examples.
What is the price of a lie? It's not that we confuse it with the truth. The most dangerous thing is that if you long to listen to lies, you forget quite how the truth looks like. And what remains for us? We will have to leave even hope for the truth and comfort themselves with tales. It does not matter who the characters in these tales. We want to know just who to blame. In this tale, Anatoly Dyatlov, better not to think.
Rude, obnoxious people, he was the chief the night gave the orders. He had no friends. At least influential. And now Woodpeckers hold for ten years, serving time in the camp. Of course, this is doubly unjust sentence, because there are criminals and worse. For what did Dyatlov, he does not deserve prison. He deserves to die.
Instead, - ten years for criminal negligence. But what does that mean? Nobody knows. It does not matter. It is important that justice prevails for them. Because for them a just peace - a reasonable world. In Chernobyl, there was nothing reasonable. In fact, what has happened there and then, even in the good, in everything. In all. Madness.
Valery Legasov, Episode 1
- I wonder how many of you know the name of this place? Of course, we call it a Chernobyl. But now the name of ...
- Nuclear power plant named after Vladimir Lenin.
- Exactly. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. He would be proud of all of you today. Especially you, young man, and your love for the people. After all, is not that the appointment of the state machine?
Sometimes we become victims of fear. But faith in Soviet socialism will always be rewarded. The country tells us that the situation is not dangerous: believe, comrades. Country tells prevent panic: listen carefully.
That's right, when people see the police, they will be afraid. But my experience is that when people ask questions, the answers to which are not in their interest, they just need to say that they have to deal with difficult issues and to leave the country itself the country. We have surrounded the city. Nobody leaves. Cut the phone lines - can not prevent the spread of misinformation. That's what we will not allow people to destroy the fruits of their own labor. Yes, comrades, we will all be rewarded for tonight. This is our moment of glory.
Zharkov, member of the executive committee of Pripyat, Episode 1
- Figures for anything, but we do not tenants. And you can not even tell. Why do we, for 400 rubles?
- You do, because we need. You do it because nobody does. And if not, millions will die. If that's not enough, I will not believe it. That's what has always united our people: the victims of thousands of years in our veins. And every generation has to know suffering. I spit on those who did it, and curse the price that he paid. But I humble myself with it. And now you humble yourself. And go into the water. Because it should be.
