Ostati normalan

Rester normal #1

by Frédéric Beigbeder, Philippe Bertrand

Ostati normalan je cilj koji je prilično teško postići kada vam tata ima pet milijardi dolara. Ostati normalan je priča o jednom danu u životu jedne veoma, veoma bogate porodice, danu koji se desio jednog septembra u Ženevi. Jedinstvo vremena, jedinstvo mesta, jedinstvo radnje: ne okolišajmo, Ostati normalan je tragedija.

Genres: Bande Dessinée

Ostati normalan je strip sa puno potencijala, ali lošom realizacijom. Ovo je neka vrsta društvene satire. Centar satire su bogate i poznate ličnosti.

Autor proziva način života. Pokazuje mnoge detalje za koje "običan" narod zna, mada provlači i mnoge teorije zavera i neke poznate ličnosti kroz radnju. Radnja je pomalo nabacana, pa se dosta toga dešava u svega par stranica. I pored toga, meni je ovaj strip bio isuviše monoton.

U odnosu na broj strana, postignuti efekat priče je mizeran. Autor ovim delom proziva i provocira, ali ne čini to na pravi način. Takav je bar moj utisak bio. Crtež mi se svideo. Unikatan je, u nekom vidu karikature. Ništa specijalno, ali ipak interesantno uradjeno, sa kolorom prigodnim samom crtežu.

Provlači se kroz ovaj strip i mnogo moralnih pitanja, ali je na čitaocu da ih shvati. Recimo, da li vam se dopada ovakav život? Može li okruženje da utiče na pojedinca ili će pojedinac ostati "normalan"? Gnušate li se scena koje su pred vama ili vas pak privlače? Osudjujete li neke postupke, prihvatate ih ili razumete? Kakav je vaš život i da li biste možda isto živeli da ste na mestu porodice iz priče? Kao što rekoh, na čitaocu je da eventualno izvuče pouke i shvati delo na svoj način.

Kao što sam ranije rekao, ovo je jedna satira i prozivka bogatih, njihovih poroka i načina života. Pored toga, ovo je jedna tragedija. Uglavnom, ovo je strip bez kog sam definitivno mogao da živim. Nisam očekivao ništa specijalno, pa se nisam preterano ni razočarao.

Obzirom da nikad nisam citao nešto od Fredrika Begbedea, ova grafička novela mi je dala podstrek da tako nešto dodatno prolongiram.

Nabavana priča koja se referenciran na poznate licnosti koji imaju probelm da se zabave usled prevelikog novca i prevelikih mogucnosti. Vrlo dosadna prica.

Karikaturi crtež sam po sebi je dobar i ide uz ovakvu priču ali uz nju i on ostavlja utisak površnosti i želje da provocira ali na jedan vrlo mediokrataki način.

Divertissant, j'admet que l'ouvrage doit plutôt être destiné à faire rire les riches entre eux qui se moque gentiment de leur condition de privilégié mais cette désinvolture et cette esprit moqueur présent dans toute la bd avec une certaine vulgarité facile constitue l'humour classique de Freddo alors aucune bonne ni mauvaise surprise.

U principu smeće ali me ipak nasmejalo par puta.

D.L. September 2002 = A.I. August 2002 = eo

Entirely absurd (yet strato-realistic) antics of an extremely rich family and their entourage- celebrating Christmas in September for reasons divulged in full at the surprising end of this album.

I enjoyed the wealthy arab over any three others. He's the fixer and the most mentally composed of the motley crew even though he's as young as anyone in the story. I most enjoyed his various methods of keeping the party afloat.
