Мысли, навеянные Чеховым. Mama

Chekhov. Gull. You know why I love Chekhov? Because he has all in the life of the majority: quietly, calmly, without hysterics and superfluous words, without the yelling and "outside" of the nerves ... just after someone shoots himself. And here, in the last sentence you realize the full force of his plays, its veracity and relevance. Thoughtless life, rather vain, and thus destructive. His heroes are unhappy, but they will never yell about this wholeheartedly. How many of us, they tolerate, suffer, tolerate, and then break down. "The Seagull" Alexandrinsky Theatre - hypertrophied forms, wildness, excessive 'external' nerves, for which can not be seen inside, because the lyrics seem just memorized the words, missed the actors as if only through the head and not admitted to the heart. And it's not actors bad play, it's search, the modern theater, and as a result of a dull and sluggish laugh face the audience, who refused (and I understand them) accept it. However, apparently there were also those who are fond of play, they were shouting bravo ...

While I was walking with some spoiled the mood back home, I do not remember really like, but it led me to my memories of one conversation with a neighbor.
Me: You know, today was a lecture at the Hermitage. Of the 100 people, only 5 - men.
C: It is normal now we have everywhere so that does not interest men ...(...) time now is heavy ...
I: And in your youth, it was easy? (Note that my neighbor was born in the besieged Leningrad)
C: In my - had confidence in the future, we knew that the job will not lose what we can to change it, if something is not good enough. If necessary, could accumulate in a fur hat
Me: Excuse me, but I think now the streets are many people walking in fur hats and fur coats ...
C: Now a strong bundle (more standard story about someone sooo rich and someone is not very much).
Me: I think that now if you want a person can be best achieved, and work to find and change it if desired.
C: It can only be smart and talented (!!!) What serednichkam, troechnikam to do??

When I spoke to the side "serednyachki" that would be nice to the priest rose from his chair and work, then everything will turn ... I think its something rude.

I hope that today's "ordinary heroes" would not shoot как у Чехова от того, что не могут поменять свою судьбу ...
