The birth of an empire". In general, I stopped expecting anything from new movies a long time ago, for this reason, I went to the cinema to see a new movie only because I, in general, liked the trailer, which looks expensive and looks like a trailer for a historical blockbuster. Peter the Great was lucky in Soviet cinema - "Peter the Great", a reference to his time (of course, after 90 years he was completely outdated), Gerasimov's excellent duology and "Young Russia". I will not mention other films, with your permission. But somehow things didn't go well with the new battle paintings at a good technical level. There was some weird action movie about Poltava in the early 2000s, and something on TV. Well, "Tsarevich Alexei" in the 90s, it seems, was not bad. In general, the time has come. The duration of the film is predictable - from the defeat in Narva to the victory after Poltava. In general, the plot focuses on the movement towards the Battle of Poltava, which became Peter's personal victory. If I were to give birth to an empire, then the action would be moved to the period after the Pruitt campaign. It is just as important, if not more so, and generally hidden from the common people. And the battle element could be transferred to Gangut and Garangam. Well, or I'll plan a second series. In general, the main plot collides, if you do not count the main conflict with Charles XII - completely insane, I note, revolves around 1. around the confrontation with the boyars. Grams (Prince Caesar) asks not to suffocate the country, Peter cuts his beard, and then Grams comes exclusively to report bad news and drink a glass of vodka. 2. cannons and bells. Suddenly the patriarch appears, played by the very old Shakurov, who actually greets Peter with bells. The problem is that the old patriarch (and the last until 1917) Adrian died in front of Narva, when there were still no problems with the guns, and his replacement, Shimon, was relatively young, over 40 years old, whom Peter did not ask anything special about. At the end of the movie, by the way, they take the cannons to melt them back into bells, because Peter assured the patriarch that there was nonsense.
