Actor Vladimir Talashko: biography and filmography

This actor's audience is aware of the images created by Senior Lieutenant Skvortsov ("Only Old Men Are Going to Battle"), Ned Lend's Whaler ("Captain Nemo" series). Said by his character the phrase "Let's live!" Really expresses his personality, suits him completely: both in life and in creativity. After such a clue it's hard not to find out who is talking about. This, of course, Vladimir Talashko - a Soviet and Ukrainian actor.

Ageless artist of Hollywood type

Literally recently, in 2015, we saw his face on TV in social advertising. It is remarkable that even now this man, who is not old and strong in spirit, who works as a teacher at the Theater named after M.Sh. Carpenko-Karogo, breezes kindness and cordiality.

He took up his work suddenly, even for himself. Seen at the competition of amateur art in Moscow, the director of the Donetsk Theater. Artem his bright, memorable appearance could conquer Hollywood.

So half a century ago a guy from a simple mining family, who did not have a special education, by chance became an actor, finding a profession that he plunged into immediately with his head and for life.

Youth

Prior to his acting, Talashko Vladimir Dmitrievich, in 1946, chose the profession of a miner typical of his peers from the village of Novokalinovka in the Donetsk region (here he came from Volhynia at the age of six) and did not think about the other. After school he studied in a mountain technical school. Year worked at the mine. Already then the direction of the person was shown.

I did not aspire to excellent pupils, there were favorite and unloved subjects of training. It was not easy to give evidence, theoretical mechanics. But he was quite successful in sports (places in competitions in cycling, weightlifting, playing in the productions of an amateur theater, he participated in a voluntary national team).

Unexpected passion for his son acting profession at first was perceived by his parents ironically, as frivolous.

Service, Institute

However, when after an urgent service in the army Vladimir Talashko entered the Ukrainian acting forge - the Karpenko-Kary Institute (Kiev), their opinion changed. They saw that his son was really serious and for life chose a creative profession for himself. A talented and industrious student, like a sponge, absorbed lessons from the already established teachers of the Institute: Nikolai Mashchenko (director of the films "How the Steel Was Tempered", "The Gadfly") and People's Artist of the USSR Konstantin Stepankov.

Respect and admiration for hard work of the miner, he kept for life. The actor Vladimir Talashko, who has already taken place, will invariably be called "a native of Donbass". It is no wonder, after all, he lost both his grandfather and father in the accidents at the mines.

A successful beginning of film career

As a result, the young actor, not only possessing a bright heroic appearance of the Slavic type, but also able to thinly psychologically show his characters, was more than in demand Soviet filmmakers.

He was already 23 years old became one of the most filmed actors of the film studio. Dovzhenko. What attracted the audience? Perhaps, maximalism, perhaps, an upsurge. Vladimir Talashko, living the life of his heroes, always tried in them to maximally set the bar of spiritual, cultural. This is evidenced by his most vivid images from the extensive filmography of the actor numbering more than fifty film works.

Starly Skvortsov ("Only Old Men Are Going to Battle")

There are films that are destined to become eternal. How is the genius born? Obviously, there is no answer to this question.

In cinema everything begins with the uniqueness of the director's intention. In the script of Leonid Fedorovich Bykov, embodied on a black and white tape, the main thing was to rethink and artistically show by the grain collected personally the memories of Soviet combat pilots.

When showing the drama of war and everyday life of the squadron of fighters, the image of his hero Vladimir Talashko worthy played (photo of his character, pilot Skvotsov, see below).

It was a role that any actor can only dream about. It is ambiguous. Kinoartist plays a man, once during a tense battle, he experienced horror from the possibility of his death. He received a moral trauma, his motivation fell. War breaks not only iron. Oh, how difficult it was to fight with the German pilots, who were insane!

Psychology of the image

Then, guided more by reflexes than consciousness, Sergei Skvortsov left the battle unauthorized. The senior lieutenant is not a newcomer to the war. He is far from being a coward. Just in battle, the instinct of self-preservation was stronger. Sergei finds himself in a situation where no one in the world, except himself, can help him. He passes a painful and tense chain of doubts, restlessness, detached confession and wins. Skvortsov defeats fear, he demonstrates a convincing and worthy victory over himself - the most important in his life.

The pilot again shows the skill and tenacity of the air fighter. For the shown courage to the pilot - the senior lieutenant is appropriated the next military rank, but he perishes. Courage, beautiful. Death, which heroes can only dream of. Having said the words, from which the spectators were seized in the heart.

This role is at the breaking point, at breaking the soul. Having played it, Vladimir Talashko really became a popular favorite.

About the successful film with the participation of Talashko "Captain Nemo"

Soviet film version - a symbiosis of "20 thousand leagues under the water" and "Steam House" - was shot in the Crimea forty years ago. The director Vasily Levin, according to world critics, managed to create one of the most successful films in the world on the works of Jules Verne.

The film is loved by many generations of moviegoers. And now, after several decades, his direction does not look archaic: the actors are persuasive, they believe. Of course, now the time is different, the entire video sequence of modern adventure films is filled with computer effects. However (we are talking about "Captain Nemo") the talented, memorable music from Zatsepin and the expressive look of the performer of the role of Nemo-Dvorzhetsky, the very spirit of searching for faith in the power of the human mind inherent in the film does not leave spectators indifferent today.

Whitewater Ned Land

The real decoration of the film was the role of the whaler Neda Land, played by Vladimir Talashko. Adventure films (meaning outstanding ones) enjoy spectator sympathy not only because of the fascination of the plot, but also the skill with which the actor presents them to his hero. From this point of view, Talashko was more than convincing. His Ned Lend, a brave and strong man from Canada, a skilled whaler in the New World, you believe right away, from the first minutes of the film. This is an amazingly integral and truly masculine image - an undeniable find and a real decoration for the film.

In addition to the two above-mentioned famous movies, the actor starred in the film director Nikolai Mashchenko as Red Army Okunev ("How the Steel Was Tempered"), sailor Ognivtsev ("Commissars").

Unrecognized role of Vladimir Dmitrievich in the film Land "Cannibal"

Unfortunately, the creativity of the actor was not affected in the best way by the decline of Soviet cinema, caused by global socio-political events. It can not be said that Vladimir Talashko received no proposals from film directors at all. His filmography did not stop. However, the notorious crisis of the genre affected (and not through the fault of the actor). There were no roles that could bring glory. Something in his acting career did not start to get involved. More often than not those scenarios and not those roles were offered to him by directors. However, there was also a diametrically opposite situation.

Once in 1991 (referring to the film "The Cannibal" directed by Gennady Zemel), the actor found his image of Captain Okunev. Emotional, hard, negative. The script itself impressed the actor - a real "smoking cubic piece of conscience".

Briefly about the scenario chosen by Talashko

The situation around which the plot is really artistically beaten is real: the largest uprising in the USSR of prisoners, driven to despair, in 1954 in the Kazakh ITK. Really awkward and still for many politicians, the director has displayed a horror that is hard to imagine. People demanding the human were killed by internal forces: they were pressured with tanks, tore into pieces of meat by bursts of large-caliber machine guns of armored personnel carriers and even struck by air strikes. Salvation and mercy were not there.

I missed the script through myself and realized that it was him, and actor Talashko. Vladimir Dmitrievich understood that everything had come together: a script, a role, a talent. The actor (in his own words) gave all the best, showing one of his best roles.

There was only one thing - recognition. The tape turned out to be highly politically uncompetitive. And although in 1992 she participated in the Cannes Film Festival, but a wide audience just did not show it. And during the State Emergency Committee (which the director himself told about in an interview), she even had to be hidden, buried in the ground.

Apparently, until now, regarding the "Ogre" behind the scenes, the order for movie channels: do not let it.

Fruitful public activity

The direct, honest, benevolent character of the actor always impressed people. His views aimed at educating the spirituality of people found and find understanding. It's not for nothing that Vladimir Talashko came from a simple working family. His biography contains facts that testify not only to high human dignity, but also about the real organizational talent of the famous actor. And he had the energy in the 90's to match his character Ned Lend.

Judge for yourself: Vladimir Dmitrievich managed to break through, through bureaucratic thorns, to found, organize (you can choose any of the verbs) a fund named after the outstanding and beloved director Leonid Bykov. He also founded the film festival "Old films about the main thing." On television, the program "Field mail memory." Unfortunately, these non-commercial undertakings in the future have not found the necessary support from the state. All of them are now in the past. The most successful project was the foundation of Leonid Bykov, but it was closed at the insistence of the daughter of the director Mariana.

Personal life

What is living now the People's Artist of Ukraine Talashko Vladimir Dmitrievich? His photo, made in 2015, leaves no doubt: of course, creativity. He is still invited to appear in films.

He devotes much time to teaching at the Karpenko-Kary University: he is preparing an acting course for television.

About his personal life is traditionally short-spoken Vladimir Talashko. Children, wife and film career - how often are these mutually exclusive concepts. Do not fifty films already testify to the time given to them not for the family?

The daughter of Bogdan Kudyavtseva is a lawyer. Granddaughters - Lina Gerasimchuk and Yesenia Kudyavtseva. Wife of Lyudmila. Here are the fragmentary information that the average reader will limit. However, more information can be found in an interview with the actor. From his lawful wife, Vladimir went to the hostel, barely choosing an acting profession for himself. He explains the gap that happened with the discrepancy between the rhythm of the actor's life and the person with normal work.

So, in essence, Vladimir lives separately. However, his life priorities changed with age. If in younger years, according to the actor, his only love was a movie, nowadays he pays much attention to his daughter and granddaughters: the oldest eleventh-grader Lina and the smaller Esenia. Now, perhaps, not art, but family for him - the inner circle.

Instead of concluding

Vladimir Dmitrievich, despite his age, does not look like an old man at all. As the lines fit it: "And instead of the heart - a fiery motor!"

Leading actor of the studio. Dovzhenko has not been without work since her collapse. He is already over 70. However, Talashko is a brand. He is in demand and, apart from teaching, he conducts television programs on the channel "Glas". The famous actor is a frequent participant in the jury of film festivals.
