Ovo čak deluje cool.

Načuo sam da bi Nikola Rakočević trebalo da igra glavnu ulogu.

synopsis

SLAV (18), an eager "first person" shooter gamer from disadvantaged social background, is hired as the best among his friends, to be a real-life killer for the Serbian mob. A war refugee born in Slovenia, thus in a rare position not needing a valuable American visa, he accepts the latest assignment trip to Las Vegas to gun down a criminal insider under Serbian state witness protection program.
Slav enters the neon city's high style living, spots and tails the target and his two official bodyguards, eyeing their habits and behavior. The closer he is, the deeper he penetrates into the corruption and arrogance of the criminal classes of the Serbian society. Slav fathoms the deeds the villain did in past as a cruel warlord. Looting, raping, slaying. Today he is even protected by his fatherland to indict and expose important political opponents, getting freedom and money in return. And Slav never had either of them. Anger overwhelms him as he realizes that he himself is a product of such war atrocities and social circumstances, part of the human debris on the very bottom, even maybe 'the son' of the rapists. Now the time has come for the 'father' who must be killed!
Slav haunts down the Serbs through the kaleidoscope of artificial worlds depicted in Las Vegas. As a dedicated first person shooter, just as in games but this time for real, he uses his skill to give chase and shoot, and execute his mission in the fountains of blood.


director's note

Travelator is a slow moving walkway that transports people horizontally on various public places, from airports to shopping malls.
In this story it's a metaphor for an unwilling procession forward.
The main hero, a teenage assassin, an addicted shooter gamer, exits familiar, dark, depressive, almost monochromatic life of his own origin and enters into the realm of the unknown, pursuing the task of killing the labeled target.
As in the video games he proceeds into artificial environments, this time of the spectacular Las Vegas, colorful and picturesque in contrary to the known world he comes from. The hero changes weapons and conquers levels to accomplish his dreadful mission. His travel, like on a travelator, lasts all the way up to the final point, where he must perform the last action - to win, or to die.
Formally, his face is never visible in a full frontal, like as we rarely see the faces of the notorious killers in real life. The visual style is inspired by the perspective of the "first person" shooter gamer. Mostly, the picture is oriented in front of him, making other characters provoke the protagonists' actions. Always on the move, the camera inexorably follows the hero in long steadicam tracking shots, behind his back, on a close distance or looking through his eyes, whether he is the middle of the boiling action or in quiet, personal moments. All the time, we see bits and pieces of him, trying to figure out the whole.
Such an approach gives the important quality of horror we are going to witness, once the protagonist, looking himself in the mirror, prepares for the showdown massacre. We get just an indication of his whole face, as a reflection. For the first and last time.
Cuts are designed to carry us through time and different spaces of Las Vegas artificial worlds, moving the stakes of the character progression to ever-greater danger.
Structurally the story is split on nine almost equal tasks or levels that evoke the circles of hell. Each of them depicts darker and meaner Las Vegas sceneries signifying deeper involvement of the character on the way to hell, towards the recognition of his situation, stating at the end the theme of the accumulated anger that savagely explodes in public violence.

Bolje bi im bilo da promene ime.

Quote from: "mac"Bolje bi im bilo da promene ime.

i ne samo ime.
prilično tupava premisa.

Kada se sklone gnusne politički korektne teze o tome kako junak dolazi iz redova ljudskog gnojiva zvanog srpski narod, ovo bi mogla da bude premisa za solidan euro trash arty akcijaš na tragu Olivier Assayasa.

Naravno, gotovo je sigurno da će Milić na kraju snimiti nešto drugo i gore od toga.

Pokušaću da nabavim scenario iako sam siguran da junaci verovatno dođu u Las Vegas i onda diskutuju o sarmi.

zapravo, ne.
ovo je slabo na drugi, nešto zanimljiviji način.

Evo citiranog prikaza, pročitajte ga u celini i celosti.

Film pogledajte na RTS-u 21. marta pa sami prosudite o dometima.

inače, moj text o travelatoru je popularniji od samog filma, i za koji dan će imati više čitalaca nego što je film imao gledalaca u bioskopu!

  Sta se desava sa tom najavljenom tv premijerom na rts-u ? Koliko sam razumeo trebalo je proslog vikenda pa nista, pa je onda bila najava za veceras ali koliko vidim na teletekstu rts najavljuje neki DTV sa dzonom kjuzakom...

kako doznajem sa samog vrha, travelator igra za 2 nedelje na rts-u.

Dušan Milić sprema horor, smešten na Kosovo. Videćemo da li će FCS biti senzibiliziran za to...

Да, али то ће више бити борба против не баш дефинисаног и невидљивог непријатеља, више на трагу "Напада на полицијску станицу" него хорора пер се.

To je produžetak "kosmičke strave" tzv. "kosmetska strava".

večeras u 21.15h na RTS1
