#Q ORIGINAL QUESTION

Does the film Three Plus Two (1963) actually depict smoking or alcohol consumption?

#M ANNOTATED LLM RESPONSE

Yes, the 1963 Soviet comedy "Three Plus Two" (Tri plyus dva) depicts both smoking and alcohol consumption. As a product of its time (early 1960s Soviet Union), these activities were portrayed as common social habits, especially among the young "intelligentsia" characters represented in the film.

Here are the specific details:

1. Smoking

Smoking is featured quite frequently throughout the film, primarily by the male characters.

The Male Characters: Roman (played by Andrei Mironov) and Vadim (played by Evgeny Zharikov) are seen smoking cigarettes multiple times at their campsite. It is used as a visual shorthand for their relaxation and their "manly" attempt to live a rugged, "savage" life in the wilderness.
Visual Detail: There are several scenes where the men are sitting by their tent or the campfire, discussing their "vow" of bachelorhood while holding cigarettes. The smoke is often visible in the bright, sun-drenched outdoor shots of the Crimean coast.

2. Alcohol Consumption

Alcohol consumption appears, particularly as the "battle of the sexes" between the three men and the two women (Zoya and Natasha) transitions into a romance.

The "Vow" and its Breaking: At the beginning of the film, the three men take a vow to remain "savages"—which includes not shaving and staying away from women. However, as they begin to compete for the attention of the two women who have parked their car nearby, their "ascetic" lifestyle crumbles.
The Dinner Scenes: There is a specific scene where the characters share a meal. During these social interactions, wine is served and consumed.
The Bottle: In one notable scene, the men are seen with a large bottle (typically wine or a similar beverage). The act of drinking together serves as a "peace treaty" between the two camps. Because the film is a lighthearted "resort comedy," the drinking is portrayed as sophisticated and festive rather than heavy or problematic.

Context

In the context of 1963, these depictions were not considered controversial. The film was intended to showcase a "modern" Soviet lifestyle—showing young professionals (a physicist, a diplomat, and a veterinarian) enjoying their leisure time with hobbies that were seen as standard for the era’s youth culture.

#F CORRECTION FEED (CLICK TO SEARCH)

[1] The characters explicitly swear an oath 'not to shave, not to drink, not to smoke' (Ne britsya, ne pitsya, ne kurit). Smoking is not a feature of their 'savage' lifestyle but a prohibited luxury they have sworn off.

[2] Describing smoking as a 'visual shorthand for their relaxation' and 'manly attempt to live a rugged life' is incorrect. The 'savage' life is defined by *abstinence* from such civilized habits. Roman complains about the deprivation ('smoking, no shaving, no nothing! Forget it!').

[3] While they may hold cigarettes or smoke in moments of weakness/rebellion, the description of them 'sitting by their tent... holding cigarettes' as a standard relaxation activity contradicts the plot point of their oath.

[4] The vow explicitly includes 'not to drink' and 'not to smoke'. The AI omits this, which is crucial because the eventual consumption represents the *breaking* of their vow, not just a transition to romance.

#O MISSED POINTS & OVERSIGHTS

High

The 'Savage' Oath forbids smoking and drinking

The AI fails to mention that the characters swore *not* to smoke or drink. This is the central comedic premise of their 'savage' lifestyle.

Medium

Smoking is a deprivation, not a relaxation shorthand

The AI misinterprets smoking as a 'manly shorthand' for the rugged life, whereas the film presents the *lack* of smoking as part of the rugged challenge (which they struggle with).

#A DIRECT ANSWER (VERIFIED ANALYSIS)

▼

In the 1963 film Three Plus Two, the characters explicitly swear an oath "not to shave, not to drink, not to smoke" (Ne britsya, ne pitsya, ne kurit) as part of their "savage" (dikari) lifestyle. Therefore, while smoking and alcohol consumption do appear in the film, they are framed as violations of this oath or occur after the "savage" lifestyle is abandoned. The AI incorrectly describes smoking as a "visual shorthand" for their rugged life; in reality, the abstinence from smoking is the rugged part, and characters (like Roman) complain about the deprivation. Alcohol (wine/champagne) is indeed consumed during the reconciliation ("peace treaty") with the women, marking the end of their ascetic experiment.
