Parody of "The meeting place can not be changed" in "Heart of a Dog"



And did you notice that in a wonderful film “Heart of a Dog” in some scenes Sharikov looks like a parody of Gleb Zheglov from a no less remarkable film “The meeting place cannot be changed”. I do not claim that this is a conscious parody, thought out by the director, it is quite possible that it came out by chance, but judge for yourself

Most notable is the similarity in the scene of catching cats, when the car service for catching stray animals (surprisingly similar to "Ferdinant" from "Meeting Place ...") arrives at the snow-covered back yard of a building. And Sharikov, wearing a hat and a leather coat with a team, goes to the basement for the cats that run out of the hatch

However, in other places of the movie Sharikov’s habits often resembled

Didn't Bortko want to show this resemblance to whom Sharikov could grow, or vice versa, from whom did Zheglov grow out?
