NAKON što je postao hrvatski državljanin , a potom preuzeo i hrvatsku putovnicu , slavni holivudski glumac John Malkovich postao je i zaštitno lice novog promotivnog filma Hrvatske turističke zajednice. Spot pod nazivom CROATIA - I hear it's beautiful premijerno je prikazan u Alexandriji na događanju organiziranom povodom Svjetskog nogometnog prvenstva u suradnji s Hrvatskim nogometnim savezom.
Malkovich, čiji su preci podrijetlom iz Hrvatske, u filmu glumi samoga sebe, svjetski poznatog glumca koji nevoljko pristaje snimiti turističku reklamu za zemlju o kojoj, kako tvrdi, ne zna gotovo ništa.
Odmak od klasičnih turističkih reklama
Film potpisuje proslavljeni redatelj i dobitnik 45 nagrada Emmy Pete Radovich, također hrvatskih korijena. Za razliku od uobičajenih turističkih kampanja koje se oslanjaju na spektakularne kadrove i kratke poruke, ovaj spot donosi duhovitu priču u kojoj Malkovich kroz cijelo putovanje negoduje i komentira kako sudjeluje u "katastrofalnom filmskom promašaju".
Kroz Hrvatsku ga vodi lokalni agent, kojeg glumi Janko Popović Volarić, a tijekom putovanja obilaze neke od najpoznatijih domaćih lokacija, među kojima su Dubrovnik, Kornati, Nacionalni park Krka i pulska Arena.
Na svaki pokušaj da mu se približe ljepote Hrvatske, Malkovich odgovara sarkastičnim komentarima ili pitanjem: "Zašto bi to itko radio?" Ipak, kako putovanje odmiče, njegov otpor postupno nestaje pred prirodnim ljepotama, gastronomijom i opuštenim načinom života.
"Nije loše. Uopće nije loše"
Humoristični ton spota temelji se na poigravanju Malkovichevim imidžem ozbiljnog i pomalo mrzovoljnog intelektualca. Jedan od najupečatljivijih trenutaka događa se kada ga dvije mještanke prepoznaju kao "onog holivudskog glumca".
Vrhunac spota dolazi pred sam kraj. Promatrajući zalazak sunca, Malkovich napokon popušta i uz karakterističnu dozu suzdržanosti izgovara: "Nije loše. Uopće nije loše."
Tekst se nastavlja ispod oglasa
Posebno ga se, kako kaže, dojmili ljudi. "Želite li znati kakvi su to ljudi? Sve što sam morao pretrpjeti bilo je u redu. Preživio sam", našalio se Malkovich.
"Žali se na sve kao pravi Hrvat"
Video je objavljen na službenom kanalu Hrvatske turističke zajednice Croatia Full of Life i vrlo brzo prikupio brojne pozitivne reakcije.
"Najbolja promocija hrvatskog turizma dosad. Johne, dobrodošao kući", napisao je jedan gledatelj.
Mnogi su pohvalili činjenicu da se spot odmaknuo od ustaljenih turističkih formula.
"Brutalno dobro. Toliko dobro da ne vjerujem da smo ovo mi napravili", stoji u jednom od komentara, dok je drugi korisnik primijetio da se Malkovich "žali na sve kao pravi Hrvat".
