From now on I decided to share film «Dăm Jông the braveheart»'s subtitles freely here. Actually, in my opinion, its title should be called as "Bogatyr Jông", however it is not very literary. :D

00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
O grandsons and granddaughters
of Bâhnar village !

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,500
Today I will tell you about...

3
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:18,500
... the majestic victory of a young hero.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
With his courage and strong will,

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
he defeated a very vicious demon,

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,500
to bring a free life to our homeland.

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,500
Because of him :

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000
That bird was flying again
in the high and windy sky.

9
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,500
Those elephants was able to
walk on the green grass again.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Sounds of the pestle pounding rice
rang out again every dusk.

11
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
At night, the red fire flickered again
on the floor of our communal house.

12
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
So that young warrior's name is :

<b>DĂM JÔNG THE BRAVEHEART</b>
- Subtitles by Duy Kiền -

14
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Dăm Jông was born into a poor family.

15
00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:41,500
He lost his father and
then his mother early.

16
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:46,500
Thus like a newly hatched worm
or a newborn squirrel,

17
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:50,000
their family only consists of
sister and younger brother.

18
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Bia K'Ni replaced mother and father
raised Dăm Jông until he grew up.

00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:16,000
♫ Next to the cradle,

♫ Deers came to drink water from the spring,

25
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:45,500
♫ Mother also went into the forest to find the sun.

26
00:03:47,500 --> 00:03:55,500
♫ Hushaby !

27
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:44,500

00:04:57,500 --> 00:05:00,500
♫ Which is like the hanging moon.

30
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
♫ I lull baby with a song,

31
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,000

How beautiful Bia K'Ni is !

35
00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:28,500
Thus her image was caught in the
magic mirror of a vicious demon.

36
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,500
Drăng-hă Drăng-hơm ("giant bird").

37
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
O all villagers and elders !

38
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Please help me !

39
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Bia K'Ni !

40
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,500
O Yàng, save me !
("yàng" = God)

41
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,500
Yo, Dăm Jông !

42
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:44,500
Sir !

43
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,500
Who are you,
and why do you know my name ?

44
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:52,000
I belong to the Western Highlands.

45
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Not only do I know your name,

46
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
but I also know that
your sister and villagers...

47
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:03,500
... were harmed by evil Drăng-hă Drăng-hơm.

48
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:09,500
Thus I have to go kill that demon
to save my sister and all villagers.

49
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
But, Sir, how to defeat the evil one ?

50
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:19,500
Oh, to destroy him, you must have
a golden shield and a silver spear.

51
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:23,000
Where do I find those things, Sir ?

52
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
They are in that magical tree.

53
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,500
I give you this iron ax.

54
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:40,500
You must use all your strength
and perseverance to cut down the tree.

55
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:45,000
So only then will you own
the silver spear and golden shield,

56
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:47,000
to fight the demon.

57
00:13:03,500 --> 00:13:04,500
Yo, Dăm Jông !

58
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:08,000
So you've got the
golden shield and silver spear.

59
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Now I give you this fairy gourd as well.

60
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:17,500
It contains water from the Western Highlands,

61
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,000
which may help you in times of danger.

62
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Come on, be on your way !

63
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:27,000
Your sister and villagers
are hoping for you a lot.

65
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:46,500
Dăm Jông, what are you waiting for ?

66
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Please quickly take out your gourd !

67
00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:02,000
O, Bia K'Ni !

67
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,500
Bia K'Ni, my sister !

68
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Dăm Jông, my brother !

69
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:17,500
Sister !

70
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Dăm Jông !

71
00:19:19,500 --> 00:19:20,500
Oh !

72
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:23,000
My brother is so mature.

73
00:19:28,500 --> 00:19:30,500
Dăm Jông has already destroyed the demon.

74
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000
He then returned to the villagers of Bâhnar.

75
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:39,000
So they happily sang and danced together.

Reposting Eus's comment from his initial submission:

Did you notice the resemblance with a previous upload "Faith a short film by Tatjana Fedorovskaya" from 2017 on the Eus347 Non Putin-Russia-n Puppet-Animations-Shorts youtube channel?
How things seem to never have changed when things have changed with time.

Barinova made four musical cartoons adapting Russian animal folk tales in this cutout animation style from 1981-1984 (there's also 1979's "Scary Story", which looks similar), with "Cat Catafeyevich" being my favourite. This is the last of them to be added to the site. After finally watching it, I think it's quite good - better than the next two. It has good character designs and songs. And yet, it has some illogical things in its plot - for example, that a family of hares would let a fox sleep in their home, that a wolf would live with a ram, and that a ram would be weaker than a fox.

Personally, I think many of Barinova's earlier efforts have something lacking and she really only came into her own as a director from the mid-1980s when she started taking more artistic risks.

Luckily I found the animated film adaptation of The Poor Scholar and the Jade Emperor : "A Temple on the Sea". Maybe I'll spend a few days of Lunar New Year to translate it.

I hadn't seen this version before - I had previously subtitled the 2007 adaptation ("The Dog Door"), which I quite liked and which is closer to the original story (although this one shows that begging was the cause of... a certain unfortunate event... while that one didn't).

On the other side, the pacing of this one is much more relaxed, while that one moves very quickly, perhaps too much so for many people.

Ultimately, both are good, but this one is probably more suitable for younger viewers (partly because the main character is changed to be the puppy).

I know of no other Russian animation director whose work is so heavily influenced by camels.

In my opinion, this story may originate from some principle in Zoroastrianism, which is the oldest religion in Asia. Most of the nations moving around the Silk Road had their own version. The following is a story that has long been in Vietnamese textbooks, but it originated from a story in a Ming Dynasty book.

THE STARFRUIT TREE

(The starfruit tree is a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia. The reason it is called "starfruit" because when cut crosswise, the fruit looks exactly like Solomon's star. Its wood has a mild fragrance and is quite good for firewood for heating. However, its leaves, flowers, fruits and seeds are all valuable remedies for summer diseases. Starfruit has two distinct flavors : sour and sweet ; but after eating, it leaves an astringent taste in the throat. Therefore, it has a very good anti-thirst effect. Perhaps because of its cooling properties, the star fruit tree is related to the story below)

There were two brothers whose parents inherited quite a rich farm and garden, but the older brother was greedy so he took all the wealth and only left the younger brother and his wife a small thatched roof at the edge of the village. In front of the hut there is only a starfruit tree full of fruit.

One day, a strange bird came to eat starfruits. This bird belongs to many versions : phoenix, eagle, crow. After the younger brother complained that if it ate all the starfruit, what would he use for his living capital, the bird spoke and said : If it eats a starfruit, it will give him a piece of gold, but the younger brother has to make a three-span bag for him to carry to get the gold. So the bird carried him to the desert island, got enough gold and became richer than his brother.

When the older brother learned that his younger brother was so rich, he persuaded his brother to exchange all his inheritance to receive a hut and a starfruit tree. Of course, we can understand his outcome : He listened to his wife and immediately made a twelve-span bag. On the way back home, the bird could not carry the older brother with his bag of gold, so it tilted its wings, causing him to fall into the sea and die.

This film is probably influenced by the poetics of The Frog Prince by the Brothers Grimm. Of course, it has been cleverly told to be suitable for children. Even in the lyrics, a part of what is called "the unspeakable" is expressed.

>Al issues later come fromhaving made the wrong choice, like there is not enough work, or personal greed ( More money can be made in...( different side of the country or different profession)

Yes, the counterpoint would be:

>In reality, young persons are always full of energy, but they often waste it on meaningless actions

The North American social and economic system is very complicated, and it places a lot of responsibility on young people to understand where and how they should apply themselves. They need to both focus on their education, and also on avoiding traps.

If you're smart academically but neglect the latter, you won't make it.

But for that matter, the man in this film could've expended more effort into finding a position for himself after graduation. Or married the young lady. It's not like he had entirely no choice.

>In the spoviet Union the state pays for the education,. and expects something in return.
People got to choose where they wanted to go, but had to have certain grades and pass an exam to get in. If they didn't, they had to go elsewhere. Basically the same thing exists in the West for the best universities. Except that the students also usually have to pay tuition. As for being forced to work somewhere for a period afterwards, some "free" coding bootcamps do the same.

>In thinking on the charaker of the Russian soul and the way it workss I based mijself on "Russian Spirituality and other essays"by Valentin Tomberg, that he wrote mostly in 1930, 1931. A Russian from St. Petersburg from Estonian Descent, that fled Russian in 1919. I have it as e book, so I can send it to anyone who wants.
Thanks, I found it; I'll try to take a look. Although I'm not sure I'll have enough time - I'm in such a rush these days...

This policy actually has its roots in colonialism, which is called as "to send on secondment/temporary assignment ; to attach ; to detach ; to second" (Chinese : 別派, Vietnamese : Biệt phái, "special" + "appoint / transfer / mobilize"). This policy was very popular in my country from the time of French protection until the 1980s.

Simply because, at that time, students did not have to pay tuition, even food was distributed through stamps, so students were also a type of civil servant and had to be controlled by the government. However, since the early 1990s, with the exception of pedagogy, all other levels and majors have had to pay tuition, and it has gradually increased each year. Therefore, this policy is no longer applied, but switched to a voluntary principle, meaning that anyone who applies to work in especially difficult areas will receive financial support. Although, let's take a look at these images : Touched by the image of the female teacher falling down and covered in mud on the way to the village.

I still highly appreciate this policy if it continues to be applied. In reality, young persons are always full of energy, but they often waste it on meaningless actions, even pretending to do charity to destroy the environment. As in my country, for more than a decade now, students from high-income families have often sought to polish their resumes to qualify to study abroad. As we all know, they participate in many activities, but did not contribute anything. The benefit of this policy is to guide young people to be noble, to control themselves to work usefully for the community. Moreover, it is an important catalyst to change customs in areas that are too backward.

Right now, we can compare the former Soviet Central Asian countries with Afghanistan. In the past, Afghanistan was the birthplace of many emperors, and could even be considered the origin of many Asian civilizations, but today they are mired in poverty, ignorance, and anti-civilization. Meanwhile, the five Central Asian countries have a very late history, but today all have very high human development indexes, relatively prosperous economies, and sports always rank very strongly throughout Asia. Thus, no matter what political measures the Soviet Union used, at least it had a very good impact on most of Central Asia. However, the place considered the "homeland" of Central Asian civilization is self-destructing.
