And the series turned out to be excellent, despite my disbelief and censure of friends.
The old movie, with Bystritskaya, is certainly good, but!
In this film adaptation, I am impressed by the maximum approximation to the source, that is, to Sholokhov’s novel, in contrast to Gerasimov’s film, where a 19-year-old (from strength) Grigory plays a 42-year-old actor.
42, Karl!!!! you can see that. "Dad" ) Bystritskaya at that time, too, is far from 19. This fact makes me very sad. For the cinema as a whole, for its meaning, this, of course, is not important, but it is for comparing the film adaptations and the proximity to the novel that is important.
In the series, there are many dramatic scenes, also as close to the novel as possible and played to break. It was from this work that Evgenia Tkachuka, a wonderful, talented actor, noted for herself. And people are ordinary, which is more realistic than beauties and handsome people, when their images are already half the success of even the most mediocre film.
Who has not seen - try to look with a fresh look, without blurring with Gerasimov's film, which many have watched 5 times and perceive as a sample and truth in the first instance, on the principle: here! and the grass was greener, and the water is wet )
Conservatism and art are not things together.
