"Caucasian Captive" Gayday and "Swan Lake" by Tchaikovsky. Competition



I think you all perfectly remember one of the most important scenes of the comedy "The Caucasian Captive, or Shurik's New Adventures" - the massacre of Comrade Saakhov. The action of this scene takes place under the accompaniment of the classical ballet "Swan Lake" by PI Tchaikovsky.


Director Said Abishev (in LJ - omskvich ), creator of the video course "Secrets of Cinema", prepared for you a small competition.

The question to which you should find the answer is:

- Why did Gaydai, in one of his best comedies, use the ballet "Swan Lake"? And not, let's say, one more song or a composition of Alexander Zatsepin, who wrote music for this film.

For the winners, as a prize, Said provides the first three participants, who gave the correct answer, an annual subscription to their video course "Secrets of Cinema." Well and from me - on 100 tokens

In addition, to all participants of the competition, the organizer provides a 50% discount on this video course - you need to leave a comment with your version of the answer or simply with a "+" sign.

More details about the course can be found in the journal Said Abishev - https://omskvich.livejournal.com/1223145.html

Well, full information about the video course "Secrets of Cinema" - on the site http://videotrain.pro

In the meantime, we repeat the question of the contest:

- Why does "The Swan Lake" sound in the "Caucasian Captive"?

The correct answer and the results of the competition will be published the day after tomorrow (January 8) by a separate post.

Good luck!
