REPRESENTATION OF ROMANTIC LOVE AMONG SENIORS IN THE SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET CINEMA
Abstract
This article provides the idea of changing cultural patterns in the image of the elderly in the Russian feature films shot in the late 1970s - early 1980s and in the 1990s and 2000s. The source base consists of popular movies where the main heroes are the elderly people. We use structural analysis of Vladimir Propp and identify key signs of cinematic texts. We discuss the ways of verbal and visual poeticization and social control of romantic emotions in the latter years. The authors are interested in observing the relationship between social policies, socio-economic context and the ways of representing love in the latter years in mass cinema. The research focus is on two socio-cultural landscapes - Soviet and Post-Soviet - each of them characterizes a particular culture of ageing and an approval of romantic relationship. It was performed in ITMO University under support of the grant by the Russian Research Fund (project №14-18-03434) “Models of the interaction between society and the elderly: a study of opportunities for the social inclusion”.
