Extremely laudatory reviews. The film "Others"

Mystical horror or "gothic horror" "Other" is filmed in the best traditions of canonical film about ghosts and ghosts that live in ancient mansions. Nevertheless, as noted by world critics, making their own reviews, the film "Others" has certain innovations. They consist in the fact that, until the final scene, the viewer can only guess which of the heroes belongs to the world of the dead and who are living. During the viewing of the picture, it really is really scary, but the finale will convince everyone looking at the fact that there is no correctly arranged logic in the narrative narrative. In this, as noted by the reviewers, publishing reviews, the film "Others" loses the mystical picture of MN Shyamalan "The Sixth Sense."

Creators

"Others" - a thriller of the beginning director-Spaniard Alejandro Amenabar, a native of Chile. He was the third under the account of the author's project, the director at the time of filming was 29 years old. Take a director's chair and become the author of the script Amenabaru proposed world-class film star Tom Cruise, who this time as a co-producer. By the way, all musical accompaniment of the painting is also written by Alejandro Amenabar. Three hypostases of the talented screenwriter praised the audience's feedback. The film "Others", which touched on the exciting topic of contact with the other world, did not disappoint the audience.

Without revealing the intrigue of the plot

Without hitting the spoiler, one can only say that Amenabar made the stunning assumption that not only the living are terribly afraid of the deceased, but also those who have not come to rest, the ghosts of the deceased are overwhelmed by the "other" messengers from other worlds. The director seemed to turn the situation upside down, fooling the spectator, who at the sight of the living was experiencing genuine horror, while genuinely sympathizing with the dead. But the playwright did not dare go very far and build a story from the point of view of ghosts.

Perfect embodiment

The role of the main character, Grace Stewart, on the screen embodied one of the most highly paid and sought-after film actresses of the world - Nicole Kidman. The actress's play deserves exceptionally laudatory reviews. The film "Others" in her filmography follows immediately after the bright film "Moulin Rouge". On her play such a sharp contrast did not affect in any way. After watching the actress's talent, both critics and ordinary spectators continually admired. Kidman managed to deeply and subtly feel the author's intention and delicately convey the atmosphere of the cinema to the audience. To date, Nicole Kidman, perhaps the best Australian actress, the ideal embodiment of the true star of the factory of Dreams. Actress is subject to all absolutely kinograin: from drama and musical to comedy and thriller. Infinitely feminine, elegant and fragile, throughout her film career, Nicole easily transformed into a variety of images.

They were killed by tuberculosis

To the actors who performed the role of the first plan, undoubtedly, it is necessary to include Eric Sykes, Elaine Cassidy and Fionnulu Flanagan, who embodied on the screen the characters of the servants, the same ones who were killed by tuberculosis more than half a century ago.

Eric Sykes, the world-famous British comedian, one of the greatest artists of the second half of the 20th century, the director and screenwriter, so it was strange enough to see him among the cast of the thriller. Sykes in the film "Others" played the role of gardener Edmund Tuttle. Career of the actor and screenwriter, he began in the 50's, and the 60's already became a star of British television. After participating in several television comedies, the BBC becomes a movie star of the first magnitude in British cinema. The characteristic manner in which Eric Sykes differs from his colleagues in the shop is to bring any situation to the highest degree of comicness.

The role of Lydia's mute servant was performed by Irish actress Elaine Cassidy, who began acting in films since 1994, and in 2001 she was already recognized as one of the rising stars of the European film industry.

Fionnulo Flanagan, who played the role of nurse Berta Mills, an Irish film, theater and television actress, began her career in 1965. Flanagan plays mostly secondary roles.

Summary

Given the successful debut of Amenabar (the film "Course"), it is easy to understand that the director can penetrate the frightening areas of the human psyche and create tension. In the thriller "Others", the intentions and intentions of the characters seem much worse than actually occurring violent atrocities. In the course of viewing the picture ignorance of all motives, circumstances, will frighten the beholder until at the climax all is meticulously clarified. This denouement of the picture became the subject of fierce disputes between avid movie fans: some felt cheated, expecting a more enchanting finale, others considered the climaxing episodes best in the entire narrative.

In any case, the thriller "Others" should be recommended for viewing to fans of high-quality and stylish movies.
