“I’m a newspaperman!”: Howard Hawks softened a political satire into a proto-feminist romcom
"His Girl Friday" set the bar for romcoms and gave us a feminist heroine before feminism was cool.
Fire Boy
Maks is a typical Moscow teenager from a wealthy family: spoiled, stubborn, childish. Maks is alone - both internally and externally, and he experiences this state painfully. Maks's mother is the chairman of the Committee on Family and Children in the Duma and is preparing for another re-election. An authoritative, decisive woman, she planned Maks's fate for years to come: prestigious studies, prestigious work, career - but she herself forgot the last time she had a heart-to-heart talk with her son.
