ironically, this now sounds, but in this film the comic can be viewed in our country with the whole family. First, Netflix allows you to “share” a subscription between multiple people, and secondly, picture can be displayed on the biggest screen you have in the house. This is the technical side of the issue. But in terms of the content of such a statement because in our country the older generation remembers the film “Young guard” and the homonymous book of the writer Alexander Fadeev. Why deprive these people the opportunity to evaluate the new film phrases that begin with the words “And in our time…”? Moreover, the principle of constructing a picture of the same – a team of fearless soldiers fighting, and he is immortal.
If in the case of the “Young guard” immortal in the memory of man, in the case of comics, the immortal in the story. Offer to remember the movie “Highlander” – is the one that then has grown kinosalona – and its protagonist – an immortal warrior Connor Macleod. In the “Old guard” principle of immortality is another, but the essence is the same – the soldiers of different eras together and serve the goodness and peace all over the world for millennia. Lead a team Andromache Scythian – try starting from the name, to count how many years of this eternally young woman. If your children also learn the names of the authors of ancient Greek tragedies, for example, Sophocles and Euripides, we will get the same effect when, thanks to the teenage mutant ninja turtles young generation get to know the artists of the Renaissance.
In the film “Old guard” Andromache for her – simply Andy. And with the first frame of the movie mentally praised Charlize Theron, who plays the role, for spent in the gym years. She literally forged from the image of strong women, continuing series, in which you can put Xena-the warrior Princess, Wonder woman, Black widow, cat Woman and Captain Marvel. You can talk about the lives that have lived in the story of Andromache and of the lives – that is to say the role – the actress Charlize Theron. And every fan, viewer new “Old guard” will remember the film “Mad Max. Road rage” where the character is Theron echoes one that appears on the screen now.
Comparisons are not accidental – in the movie “the Old guard” again a lot. More precisely, almost everything. We have all seen somewhere. And fights, and a story about traitors, loyalty and immortality. And the people who bear the burden of eternal life through the centuries. “Unfortunately, I am immortal” – I would say Baron Munchausen played by Oleg Yankovsky, putting in these words all the pain and loss that brings eternal life.
“Stargarden” this is understandable as anyone. A tragic monologue on the theme of immortality in the film says one of the soldiers of the Buk – Matthias Conerts telling her story. One of the legendsand the life in the hereafter is in the film hook to continue. Its like a lasso, thrown at the viewer – it reveals little information about the details of the story Andromache Scythian. Besides – as soon as appears this episode is associated with it, and carried it through the centuries guilt, the beholder can’t stop thinking about this line. She is the most original in the film and is dedicated to the torment of not moral but physical, which have to live forever.
More of the freshness of the new creation Netflix adds character Kiki lane is a girl who has just passed the initiation (during hostilities in Afghanistan!) and joined the ranks of the Immortals. The viewer discovers the features and rules of the squad of Immortals with her (as a technique as old as the world, seen through the eyes of a newcomer to what is happening).
Innovation in the tape could add the line associated with the medicine of the future. I say the same futurologists and visionaries that soon people, thanks to the new technologies will become much longer to live, and we shall have to do something. However, the medical line beyond the one that marked, for example, in the films about James bond. A maniac who tries to change the world, not realizing that his good intentions a long time ago already – evil in the flesh. In the role of doctor-maniac – Harry Melling.
Director Gina Prince Bythwood not gone beyond the ordinary film, although the cast gave her infinite odds to their capabilities and skills. The film also starred Luke Marinelli, Marwan Kenzari, Veronica NGO, Chiwetel Ejiofor and others. It has Russian line – artist Andrew Hare playing a Russian pilot, and the words of Andromache, addressed to him, will be a key in the film. The Director not only beyond, but also limited himself diligently drove his creativity in a narrow track with modern requirements. In her tape – Asians, and African Americans, and homosexual love, and – Yes – as the crown of creation – woman, the strength of which is able to change the Universe for the better. The latter is clearly designed for the apologists of the movement #metoo. When the rules and conditions replace a flight of fancy, from such a creature is up to no good is not necessary.
However, we must admit that the action looks very easy, not much different in this respect from those blockbusters that summer to go to theaters. In the “Old guard” no ductility “Irish” Martin Scorsese, the film, which at the same Netflix is three hours and twenty minutes. But there are thrills and ease – sometimes sometimes even too excessive – it would be nice to her “heavier” in some sense. So, continuing the comparison of the services and cinemas with a woman and a man, in this case – or she’ll have to invent something new, or he will go to another.
