Frontier Crucible: Арми Хаммер совершает осторожное возвращение к актерской игре в разговорном вестерне с медленным развитием сюжета

Основанный на романе Гарри Уиттингтона «Засада в пустыне» (Desert Stake-Out), вестерн Frontier Crucible с медленно тлеющим сюжетом, действие которого происходит в Аризоне 1872 года, многое делает правильно, но имеет тенденцию плестись шагом там, где мог бы пуститься в галоп. Наш герой — Меррик Бекфорд в исполнении Майлза Клохесси (сына характерного актера Роберта Клохесси)

A Road of a Thousand Years. Epilogue

I am all in you, I am all with you, All predestined by fate, it’s true, As if I am someone else entirely, As if I am a stranger completely. But you too are no longer the same, And darkened now is that hand Which tenderly caressed me When, disregarding those near, You gave yourself to me. But I know: the day will come, When I am replaced by a shadow, When snows cover everything, And only a beam from afar Unexpectedly finds you suddenly

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part Four. Chapter Two

He looked at her as one looks at a stranger’s photograph found on the street: with surprise, with disbelief, with that strange indifference that comes when everything inside has already burned out. He gently lowered her body into the pit, as one might lower a paper boat onto still water — far too gently for such a place — and immediately forgot that it was someone’s boat, someone’s voice, someone’s life. That day he spoke not another word

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part Four. Chapter One

It had all happened already: this classroom, this sunset, and even his loneliness, which no longer seemed personal, but part of some ancient, inexorable history. He knew that all of this was predestined: his departure, the school’s vanishing, and even this evening, with the sun setting as if bidding farewell not only to him but to everything that had ever been here. And many years later, sitting in the emptied old school, he remembered the day when he saw her for the last time

A Road of a Thousand Years. Part Three. Chapter Three

On the day it all began, the garden was particularly quiet. The air hung motionless, and even the birds seemed warier than usual. Yeon-ju, walking along the alley, accidentally brushed against a branch of a flowering plum with her sleeve. The branch broke almost soundlessly, and several white petals fell onto her shoulder and into her hair. She stopped, looked at the broken shoot, but made no attempt to pick it up

In the summer months, when lotuses blossomed in the garden behind the palace, Yeon-ju was often seen on the stone paths between the ponds. She walked slowly, in a dress of the finest silk, the color of morning mist, and her every step was measured, like a movement in a dance. Sometimes she stopped by an old plum tree, gently touching the petals, as if checking whether it was a dream. Her fingers were thin, almost transparent, and in their movement there was something of a faience figurine

That year, spring arrived early in the Forbidden City. The palaces were imbued with the scent of damp earth and old lacquer, and the ponds reflected the faded heavens. The Emperor, whose name has long been forgotten but whose decrees are still preserved in silk scrolls, was receiving a new concubine. She was led into a hall where the walls were painted with cranes and pines, and the floors were as slippery as water beneath one’s feet

Beijing met him differently. The city was different: the streets had become wider, the cars louder, and the sky lower. Old houses had vanished, just as dreams vanish when one wakes up too early. On the site of the factory, where it once smelled of iron and machine oil, now stood a shopping center with mirrored windows. No one remembered that trucks for the army were once built here; no one remembered either him or her

Morozov stood by the window, smoking, gazing out in the hope of seeing at least some sign of human life. He thought about Mei Lin. About how she stood in the wasteland, didn’t turn around, didn’t say goodbye, only said: “I will walk from here.” Would he ever see her again? Unlikely. Persona non grata — that was what his status was called now. What a word, he thought, like a brand on the forehead. Persona non grata. Even sounds un-Russian. An expellee

The scream tore out of her unexpectedly — sharp, hoarse, alien. She screamed as she had never screamed in her life. She screamed into the black sky, into the concrete, into the void, into herself. She screamed for all the years, for all the words, for everything she hadn’t said, for everything she hadn’t done, for everything she had failed to save. The scream was long, desperate, almost bestial. It did not sound like a human voice — rather like the voice of someone who can no longer be human
