Features of Muslim culture in the series "Clone". Actors and roles of the best Brazilian telenovela

Brazilian TV series actively filled the expanses of Russian television still some years ago. After the domestic cinematography completely ousted foreign soul-searching projects, and now on any channel it's no longer possible to meet the pain of the usual plot turns or favorite faces of the actors. But this in no way detracts from the public appreciation of the far southern country, which has given the world many interesting pictures. The Brazilian TV series "Clone" is a true example of how successfully the scripted idea successfully merged with the screen incarnation, and as a result - universal appreciation in many countries of the world.

History of creation

It still remains the best project of the television company Globo, which produces one or two hits per year. The series was shown almost immediately after the tragic American events of September 11. Three years later, Russia acquired the right to broadcast on its territory.

"Clone" is different from previous projects of the studio. This is not a trivial melodrama with several characters taken, whose fates are closely intertwined in a single plot. Scenario Gloria Perez decided to touch on a more personal and hidden from the public theme - the family's way against the background of the intertwining of Brazilian and Muslim love. In addition, another research milestone was the topic of cloning. Before the production was given a green light, it was necessary to undergo many tests - many artists, fearing such an ambiguous scenario, refused to be invited to the "Clone". Actors and roles were subsequently widely accepted by TV viewers, proving the opposite.

What is the series about?

Young girl Zhadi, belonging to the Muslim faith, left alone, comes to her uncle in Morocco, where she meets Lucas. The feeling that has arisen between them because of religious prohibitions does not have a chance for the future, but the girl believes in the unity of their souls. She proposes to escape from the marriage she is prepared for with an unloved person, but plans suddenly collapse - Diego's twin brother perishes, and Lucas is not in a relationship right now ...

The godfather Diogo, Professor Albieri, who had previously studied the issues of cloning cattle, secretly decided to create his clone. The experiment is successful, and Leo appears. Meanwhile, Lucas and Jadie, having brought their families, did not see each other again. However, the meeting with Leo, who so strongly stirred up memories of his former love for Lucas, makes Jadi revise his life ...

World recognition of viewers

Interest to the show was evident right after the first series. Unsurprisingly, many fans asked themselves questions about how the episode "The Clone" was filmed. The actors and roles presented to the spectator court were extremely interesting topics, which every fan tried to get an answer.

A certain role was played also by the fact that the premiere show, held on October 1, 2001, took place during a time of negative perception of the Muslim world. Nevertheless, the "Clone" exceeded all expectations of the creators and was unanimously proclaimed the most successful telenovela not only of that period, but also throughout Globo's history. Over the next years, it was successfully bought by many states, by 2010 its demonstration took place in more than 90 countries.

Critics have noted a significant and definitely new leap "Globo", caused by the risk of presenting a similar project to the public. "Clone", the actors and roles of which have become common for many, received their response to spectators, who, surprisingly, found many similar parallels in life.

American studios decided to repeat the success. In 2010, the Spanish version under the original name appeared on the screens of the States. Repeating the plot, she abandoned many secondary ideas, such as the theme of drug addiction, played out in the predecessor. The new version included fewer episodes, but, as the audience noted, fully retained the original imagery. Unfortunately, the overall popularity of the sequel did not have a wide success, and remained an unsuccessful attempt at a remake.

Personal success of creators

Not only did the audience enjoy the dramatic storyline, but Globo reaped the fruits of its work. Those who directly participated in the creation are also indebted to the TV series "Clone". Photo of the actors, awakened by the famous, decorated the covers of glossy editions. And they thanked in many interviews for the opportunity to play such interesting images. Scenario Gloria Perez also celebrated the victory. According to her, she was very afraid of what would be the attitude towards the Muslim people, the same as the rest, but with a different religion. The explosions of shopping centers in America for all left a deep heartache, but it is the Clone that says Muslims are not terrorists.

Of course, a lot of fans wanted to know any details about the personal life of Lucas and Jadie who loved them. And this added oil to the fire of the world-wide "clone" that swept the world. The performers of the main roles of Murilo Benicio and Giovanna Antonelli did not confine themselves to the series "Clone". The photo of the actors who have transferred the novel beyond the limits of the film set has become public many times. However, despite all the joy of the fans, their relationship did not last long.

The series "Clone". Actors and roles

It would be inappropriate to keep silent about the secondary characters who carry their significance for the show. In addition to Murilo Benicio and Giovanna Antonelli, the "Clone" starred actors who had at the time of filming viewership thanks to other telenovelas. For example, Vera Fisher, who played the wife of an industrial tycoon and father of Lucas Leonidas Ferraz, amicably called a "lion's cup." A veteran of Brazilian TV series, Vera was remembered for early projects - "Family Ties", "Easy Money" and "Fatal Inheritance." Daniela Escobar, the former girl Diogu, who became Lucas's wife and gave birth to his daughter Mel, is also a frequent guest not only of serials, but also full-length paintings. Mel herself, played by Deborah Falabella, is ambiguous - the audience watched with interest her addiction to drug addiction. Like Shandy Cordeira, played by Marcela Novais, a veterinary student, her guard, and later a guy. And of course, Deza da Silva, played by Adriana Lesa, the surrogate mother of Leo, a woman with a difficult fate.

Of course, this is far from a complete enumeration of all the characters of the telenovela "Clone". Actors and roles are so diverse that there would not be enough time to describe everyone. But they are all harmoniously inscribed in the story - whether they are secretaries, club owners, personal assistants and even crooks from a car repair shop.

The final chord as an ode to appreciation

To summarize, I want to recall once again what was the great success of the project. Against the background of exotic species of Morocco there is a strong love story, experienced by religious difference and the main component - the topic of cloning. Despite frequent dances, the "Clone" is seriously different from the same Indian films. It often raises the interpretation of the Koran, which for many remains distant. The best Brazilian TV series of the new century subtly intertwined human fates and real feelings. And all this is collected in the TV series "Clone". Actors and roles, followed by a huge number of viewers around the world, have long been preserved as a pleasant memory.
