"Real guys". Actors with criminal cinematographic past

"Real guys" - gangster black comedy, such in the 90 years were put in the tens, in the 2000s were considered a mauveton, but then they again acquired the charm. The project of director Fisher Stevens is rid of tedious clichés, boring plot outlines, inappropriate references and quotes, games for fun and stretched gags. "Real guys" (the actors who played the central roles: Al Pacino, K. Walken and A. Arkin) - one of the best and most iconic films in the subgenre of age movies.

Recipe

The secret of the production of the iconic tapes of this genre is a successful casting, the ability to combine the actors-performers of the main roles, who are not afraid to appear to the world as stale, ridiculous and really old. Director Fisher Stevens has not lost, having invited the venerable masters of a scene, favorites of the public who have arranged the present dramatic buffoonery in a film "Real guys". The actors turned the criminal comedy into a spectacle that was irresistibly fascinating. First of all, the elegant, aristocratic simplicity of Alan Arkin in the presentation of his character worked. And this, together with the "unbearable" charm of the tough, outwardly and vulnerable in the soul, Al Pacino. And this incongruous duet was diluted by emotionally unbalanced, vulnerable Walken. "Real guys" - a film whose actors overshadowed all the shortcomings of the script, which can hardly be called original. The adaptation of screenwriter-playwright Noah Heidl loses to such masterpieces as "The Fastest Indian", "Until he played in the box". But the performers of the main roles - a brilliant actor's trio - the secret of the charm of the new film of Stevens.

Plot

The comedy "Real guys", whose actors and roles are exactly remembered to the grateful audience, has a fairly straightforward plot. The narrative begins with the moment when one of the main characters, Doc (Walken), who lives rather modestly, painting watercolor paintings, after he quits with crime, meets his old friend Val (Al Pacino). Val just got out of prison, where he stayed for 28 years because he did not surrender his accomplices to the police. Naturally, the former prisoner yearns to come off in full. Friends go to a halt, before stealing from the house of the elderly third friend (Arkina). But Doc depresses their assignment before the common boss. The head of the mafia ordered him to kill Val, because of which the son of a Mafioso died. This is a brief description of the plot line of the black gangster comedy "The Real Guys". Actors-Oscar-bearers, this unpretentious plot turned into a burning mixture of "The Hangover in Vegas" and the drama with a philosophical overtones. The film is watched in one breath. This is the case when an obvious fiction gets volume thanks to the charisma of the actors.

Christopher Walken

The duo of the Oscar-winners Christopher Walken and Al Pacino are diluted by the inimitable Alan Arkin, who won the Golden Globe and Oscar awards, but with the third attempt. Christopher Walken is known for participating in a lot of first-class paintings, the latter - "The Late Quartet" and "Seven Psychopaths". The actor is one of the most sought-after masters of the "dream factory" of his generation, while he almost never refuses the proposed roles, considering each new character as a regular experience. His filmography has long passed beyond the mark of 100 paintings, Walken embodied on the screen a lot of colorful characters. And most of the heroes played by the actor were negative characters: criminal geniuses, sinister mystical entities, for example, in the films "Sleepy Hollow", "Batman Returns," "What to Do in the Dead in Denver", "Kind of Murder."

His Doc in "Real Guys" is a person who evokes sincere sympathy. The hero does not maintain contact with the daughter, one of his friends is in prison, the second is taken to a nursing home. His young granddaughter works as a waitress in a local cafe and does not know that a modest gentleman with a sad look, ordering an egg every morning, her grandfather. There are notes and sweet sorrow in the movie "Real guys." Actors who have played the role of central characters, not only bring to the cinema a feature under the life of their heroes, but also to some extent sum up their criminal cinematographic past.

Alan Arkin

Arkin, who plays most of his eccentric coarse characters, took part in a variety of films of various genres - from the macabre fairy tale "Edward Scissorhands" to the cult film "Catch-22." Most recently, he lit up in the triumphant film "Operation Argo." The actor embodied on the screen is not particularly interesting character - the very third friend who is being pulled out of the nursing home, but his hero is the key figure of the whole picture. It is up to him to show the viewer how ridiculous death can be.

In general, everything that is connected with the picture "Real guys": actors and roles, photos from filming, autographs of the actors' ensemble and authors - has a historical value. All the performers of the main roles are already over 70, and this is already a significant age, almost the decline of human life, well, the cinematographic career - that's for sure.

Al Pacino

Al Pacino is famous for the incarnations on the screen of gangsters - Michael Corleone in the trilogy "Godfather" Coppola, Montana in "The Face with the Scarf" of De Palma. The first "Oscar" actor received for the role of Frank Slade in the tape "The Scent of a Woman". His hero in the "Real Guys" - vagabond view of Val. He, trying to be brutal, hides behind his mask an unhappy life, which is about to end.

"Real guys" - a film whose actors told a naive, but exciting, funny and touching story.
