"Dogma". Actors most provocative picture of our time

The fourth picture in the view Kevin Smith of the universe View Askewniverse, which blew up the world film distribution in 1999, can not be perceived as the creation of an inveterate cynic and frank misanthrope. The film "Dogma" (actors of the first plan: B. Affleck, M. Damon and L. Fiorentino), according to critics, claims the title of the next generation Bible. In many respects this became possible due to the elaborated scenario. At the same time, this film project is not the intrigues of militant atheists and outrage against the shrines. In the movies, everything is simple and ironic. It's no wonder that everything related to the "Dogma" tape (actors, photos from the set, the vicissitudes of the casting, plot twists), in the blink of an eye became the subject of heated debate.

Summary

Tells the viewer a fascinating story tape "Dogma". Actors and roles, they performed, fell in love with the public.

The duo of the fallen angels Loki (M. Damon) and Bartleby (B. Affleck), tired of the ordeals on the sinful earth, decide to return to heaven at all costs. In the vault of divine dogmas, they find a loophole. But they need to get to New Jersey in order to carry out their intentions. Their intentions become known to the heavenly office, and Metatron (A. Rickman) assembles a team that must prevent a catastrophe. The mission is entrusted to Bethany (L. Fiorentino), experiencing a crisis of faith, which is directed by the broken prophets Silent Bob (K. Smith) and Jay (D. Muss). The group is supervised by the 13th Apostle Rufus (K. Rock) and Serendipity (S. Hayek). This is the star composition of the film "Dogma". Actors during the filming had fun with the soul.

Actresses of the project

In the picture "Dogma" the actors presented to the audience a unique gallery of characters: only one of the key characters is eight, this is not taking into account secondary, but not less important for the narrative. And all of them are played perfectly, there is not one pass-through, incoherent embodied.

One of the most provocative characters is the image of God. At Smith, God is a woman, her role is played by a Canadian actress. In the author's perception of Smith, the character has a playful character, selflessly loves dominoes, traditionally forgiving, but also subject to uncontrollable emotional outbursts. In addition, for some reason, she prefers to wear men's underwear. Kevin for a long time could not decide on the performer of such a difficult role. Initially, he saw in the image of God Holly Hunter, who did not dare to take part in such a contradictory project. After Smith invited Emma Thompson, but the performer refused because she had recently become a mother. Then the role was approved by Alanis Morissette, actress and singer, a well-known film community on the paintings "Free Radio Albemuth", "Pet", "Parts of the body" and, of course, "Dogma". Actors were surprised at how the singer organically combines tours with the shooting process.

Even more problematic was the casting of actresses for the role of Bethany. The creators considered the nominations of Joey Lauren Adams, Gillian Anderson and Alanis Morissette, who played God. As a result, Linda Fiorentino, known for working on the projects After Work, People in Black, Last Seduction, was approved. According to the director, he was not easy to work with an actress, during periods they quarreled and did not speak for several days. Kevin was sorry that he did not give the role of Janine Garofalo. Nevertheless, Linda convincingly played the usual devotee of faith, directly faced with a real miracle.

The male part of the actor's ensemble

The role of Loki was written by Kevin specifically for Jason Lee, who refused to perform it because of employment in other projects, but starred in "Dogma", embodying the image of Azrael, claimed by Adam Sandler and Bill Murray. As a result, Matt Damon ("Clever Will Hunting", "The Talented Mr. Ripley", "Saving Private Ryan", the trilogy about the activities of Ocean's friends and the tetralogy of Jason Bourne) was reincarnated as one fallen angel. The second angel, Bartleby, was played by Ben Affleck, who had previously worked with Damon in "Clever Will Hunting". He is also known for the films "Daredevil", "Operation Argo", "Armageddon", "Disappeared", "Squad of suicides" and many others.

Albert Brooks was initially positioned as the performer of the role of Cardinal Glick, but by the will of fate the character's character revealed to the viewer George Karlin.

Alan Rickman ("Die Hard", "Harry Potter", "Perfume", "Alice in the Looking Glass") was given the role of Metatron because he was a fan of the film "In pursuit of Amy."
