Alexey Kapler #002

At first he was an actor. However, acting did not captivate Kapler. He tried to write short stories, performed on stage, and traveled to different cities. One day, one of the Ukrainian directors told me about a young man who had attracted his attention, who worked as an assistant at the studio. The director was Alexander Dovzhenko, he was directing Arsenal at the time. Alexey Kapler started working as an assistant in this group.


A boy is an artist of the amateur theater of the early years of the revolution; a young man is a film actor of the early twenties; an assistant to one of our best directors - this is the school that the author of films about Lenin went through.


Let people who consider the work of a screenwriter to be uncomplicated think about this preparation. Kapler tried many cinematic specialties "on his backside"; the images composed by this cinematographer did not need to be completed on the set and half of the filmed material did not have to be thrown away during editing. Actors B. Shchukin, V. Vanin, N. Batalov, M. Zharov, V. Maretskaya and directors M. Romm, S. Yutkevich, F. Ermler achieved considerable success working with this writer.


In "Three Comrades" and "Miners", not only professional skill, but also the properties of talent were already visible. From the point of view of today, many of them will seem imperfect, but the main thing has retained its significance. The author tried to talk about the sublime simply, about the simple sublimely; folk humor was especially close to him. A lot of people inhabited these works: miners, workers, business executives, engineers — I can't list them all — from the secretary of the regional party committee to the gardener, who was tried to steal by enthusiasts of one of the workers' settlements. There were many modern phenomena here, huge and tiny, the brightness of characters, the cheerfulness of perception of reality. These were the stories of working people, the characters were active, persistent, funny. The scripts were in many ways related to Nikolai Pogodin's plays dedicated to the first five-year plan. New material was rapidly entering art, and the essay was crowding drama.


After these works, the author turned to the Lenin theme.


Cinematography, reproducing the image of the leader, was limited until then only by its similarity to the portraits of Vladimir Ilyich. The lens did not look beyond the external features. Kapler was one of the first cinematographers to create an image rather than a portrait. In Lenin in October, the unity of characters and the popular movement was remarkable. A skilled painter knows how to build a historical composition in such a way that four or five people are visible in the foreground, depicted in detail and accurately, then twenty written out in more general terms, then a folk scene that creates an atmosphere of action. Kapler's figure of Lenin took the foreground, with all its might, and many other figures with many individual features appeared behind it (let's recall the worker Vasily, who was transporting an echelon of bread, and he was exhausted from hunger; let's recall the commandant of the Kremlin, who was excellently played by the late actor V. Vanin), and, most importantly, — not against a distant background, but coming to the fore, merging with the images of the main characters, the collective of workers, soldiers, sailors, heroes of the revolution, seethed, seethed, and lived a full life. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this work. Many years have passed, and these two paintings do not leave the screen.
