Variants of transforming the phenomenon of faith into an unfair world in the cinema
Abstract
The article analyzes the image of the “right” and “wrong” world in the cinema. The right worlds line up in accordance with the structure of the fairy tale (Propp), the path of the hero (Campbell) and reproduce a world based on the unity of morality and success. The popularity of the image of the right worlds is linked, in particular, to the illusion of justice (Lerner) - the belief of most people that the world is organized according to rules, the observance of which guarantees success, and violation would be a failure. This illusion has both productive and destructive consequences and is insufficient for an adequate vision of reality and successful adaptation to it. The art provides an opportunity for overcoming the distortion of faith into justice by depicting wrong worlds in which rules do not work. The article highlights options for depicting the wrong world in the cinema and analyzes its functions.
