«Почему Капитан Америка: Зимний Солдат - Готическое Повествование»


The ghost - the Winter Soldier - when revealed to be Steve’s presumed dead childhood friend Bucky Barnes, suddenly becomes a thousand thousand times more horrifying than the simple assassin he was thought to be. That’s the real punch of the movie - and that has nothing to do with 1970s conspiracy thrillers. That’s pure terror. That’s the point where Steve, our Gothic heroine, breaks and falls into a sort of disbelieving fugue at the sheer horror of it, before he pulls himself together for what must be done. < . . . >
In the end the horror of CATWS is the horror of the story of Bucky Barnes. The truth of it is left unsaid, but it is hard not to imagine it as sickening and devastating. The only real conclusion is unimaginably disturbing. And the pleasure of Gothic fiction is in this horror. In the terrible gap left for the imagination. Bucky’s story and his unfinished fate.
