The film "Black Sea": reviews and reviews

The film "Black Sea" (reviews of the audience note the successful cooperation of Britain, Russia and the United States in the production of the picture) is a real adventure thriller. All the famous Scottish director Kevin MacDonald in his semi-story about the misadventures of the submarine during the search for the gold of the Nazis was played by Jude Law, Grigory Dobrygin and Konstantin Khabensky.

Genre experiments

Genre experiments of the creators can cause confusion only for the extremely skeptical viewers, the author's approach to writing the script and the filming process, changing the levers of the application and the point of view usually benefit such adventurous film projects and invariably cause interest. The film "The Black Sea" (reviews of the audience confirm this) attracts attention, otherwise it can not be: for the production of an adventure thriller took Kevin McDonald - master of piercing documentary films, interested in history, a true connoisseur of deep human dramas. He became famous after the release of a semi-documentary, chilling heart, a dramatic picture "Touching the Void," which tells the tragic story of climbing climbers on one of the mountain peaks of the Andes.

A special charm

McDonald, shooting the film "The Black Sea" (reviews on "IMHONEET" is about it) did not intend to compete with the classic "K-19" Bigelow, "U-571" Mostow, Peterson's "Submarine" and even the domestic "72 meters" , Although he had a trump card in his sleeve. His creation does not tell us about the bloody battle with the enemy, about the underwater duel or the tragic history of submarine sailors. The director managed to make real heroes characters, far from the war - retired sailors, retired under the leadership of a completely peaceful captain, supervisor (supervised to watch the sailors) and the boy, the first time went to the open sea. As part of this raznochorstnoy company has a special charm, they are far from subordination and strict military discipline, they think they speak and act differently, and not always professionally. The film "Black Sea" reviews kinomanov principally called adventure. Spectators are captivated by the fact that Robinson's team is very similar to adventurers, and not to a boring and disciplined squad of soldiers.

Plot

Captain Robinson, who gave his entire life to the submarine fleet, is out of work. The company contracted, and Robinson was left without a job, stealing his family from him. The old sailor remains alone and sees nothing good ahead. Hope comes to life when a mysterious investor hires the protagonist to the post of submarine captain to search for the once sunken submarine with gold on board. The team includes the most notorious scoundrels - the search will have to be conducted in secret alongside the Russian Black Sea Fleet, but the reward for a successful operation will be enormous. The company is doomed to success, because Robinson has a great experience as a captain, and his sailors are not the first time on the ship either. But only when they are at the bottom of the sea the team members realize that out of this adventure it will not turn out to be dry. This is the story of the movie "Black Sea", the trailer of the picture, like this description, does not contain spoilers.

Plus the history of McDonald

In order to fully experience the dramatic nature of what is happening in the frame and feel the whole complexity of the situation, the actors were first shot for two weeks on board a real submarine, after which the entire crew moved to a specially built pool (in the pavilion). The film "The Black Sea" (reviews of domestic audiences mark the whole three frames shot in Sevastopol) is unique in that 90% of the whole plot action takes place in the claustrophobic pressure of the submarine. Another advantage of McDonald's painting is the competent construction of intrigue and plot development - the presence of permanent exciting, albeit not completely understandable at times, conflicts. Opposition heroes are simple and accessible, in the actions and actions of the characters there is absolutely nothing heroic, only a greed for profit and a mean calculation. Sometimes the "bitter truth" is too straightforward, but in general the action is quite voluminous and alive.

The natural "Russianness"

The film "Black Sea" trailer is positioned as a dangerous trip for treasures, which soon turns into insanity and carnage, and in the frame more often than other actors the celebrity flashes - Jude Law. But we can not fail to note the trump card used by the director - these are Russian actors. This does not diminish the merits of Judah Law, who in the past was Karenin and Zaitsev. "Black Sea" is a unique case when in the western picture the Russians are not given a stereotype, but a natural "Russianness" is shown, which is painfully familiar and easily recognizable. Kolesnikov and Veksler, Khabensky, Dobrygin and Puskepalis gave the film a tone, made it "our" for real, completely removed the indistinct Englishmen. And this is not just patriotism, the author is still MacDanald, but his ability to choose our actors adds to him the honor. Sergei Puskepalis served in his time in the navy, and Dobrygin's father was a submariner. These actors helped McDonald to work out the scenery and details of the situations in the film.

There is something to complain about

The film "Black Sea" a review of one of the famous film critics called not gloomy, but rather fascinating. And sometimes - exceptionally brisk. However, there is nothing to complain about. The story, which was put in the basis of the script, is very implausible. Nazis - for ears are drawn, adrenaline is too little, the constant mention of the Black Sea Fleet causes an indulgent smile, some episodes and turns of the story line look somewhat predictable. The film "The Black Sea" (viewers view unambiguously) is not worth comparing with the same "Fury", although it also compresses the iron leviathan in a tight and sensitive manner in a sensitive and convincing manner. The heart will hardly bounce, the viewer will not be biting his nails into the armchair from the tension either, but a secret treacherous thrill will be present inside. The sea in the movie is really black, but rather from the fact that the hearts are black, the souls and thoughts of the sailors who have sunk into it.
