Amazing, but true! I’ve just watched this mini-series (8 episodes) for the fourth or fifth time, and I wonder again: how did this happen? The previous, in fact, the first part 'Scouts' 'The Last Battle' filmed in the notorious and detrimental to the historical truth about the Great Patriotic War 'das is fantastic' (about the search of our military intelligence some fascist UFO discolet) was a military fighter of a cheap stroke, when seven brave Soviet intelligence officers crumbling in the last battle almost a battalion of SS, representing moving targets for our PP'''#39. Meanwhile, any front-line soldier who has been in such fighting, as the Russian military now say, will tell you how difficult it was to kill a well-trained German soldier, especially from the SS Special Command! I immediately remembered a very classic film ' Magnificent' (1973) with Belmondo, where a special agent kills five enemies at once with one shot. But it was a comedic parody, and here everything is at face value. . .
It would seem, and from the sequel 'Scouts: War after war' one would expect a similar approach'... Ahn no!! It seems that the studio-producer is the same ('Sinebridge'), and the director-director is the same (Alexander Zamyatin), as are the actors in ' the most important' roles (Maxim Zausalin, Boris Shcherbakov...). But this time they all turned out not at all expected, but diametrically opposite and high-quality, namely, the most fascinating military detective, from which you can not break away! What exuberantly blossoming intrigues and tricks, what insidiousness and (of course) love, what colorful characters (Artist, Major & #39; Criminals & #39; etc.), how seriously the artists worked their roles! I would like to mention the background music of composer Alexei Zubarev, whose main musical themes are very finely arranged, perfectly memorable and emphasize dramaturgy. There are, of course, small ' gaffes ' but they do not want to pay attention. So in May & #39; pre-winning & #39; days especially recommend this series to watch. But how and why with 'Scouts' there was such a welcome metamorphosis - amazing and mysterious! Although in our sequel, the writer and composer are different. Isn't that what it is? What do you think?
