Three students of the naval school of the time of Elizaveta Petrovna - Empress of Russia got involved in adventures because of a connection with one of the secular lioness and gossip girls who was arrested for conspiracy against the great autocrat. Her daughter leaves with a Frenchman, who must deliver papers compromising one of the servants of Russia - Vice-Chancellor Besstuzhev.
"All the truth, except fiction," immediately tells us the author of the script and director - Svetlana Druzhinina. After watching this phrase, I want to cry and laugh. One of the main characters falls in love with two men at the same time, even without communicating with them, apparently just because she made up well. The essence of the whole pursuit of stolen papers, around which the whole plot revolves. There's no such thing, there's no such thing. The unreasonably strong friendship of three students, the number of patriots of Russia surprising for troubled times, tolerance for boorish and disgusting behavior towards serfs and the existence of slavery in general. Around a hysteria with a disgusting character, a man who performs a mission that is as important for his state, wriggles, indulges all her whims and suffers brazen disregard for his person, although she is not far from a girl of easy behavior and she does not deserve respect for herself, at least after such a consumerist attitude to others. What do I see? It's a tabloid romance for girls under 15! What I've been stumbling upon lately... I really need to convince you that the script for The Guardian Go! could only have been written by a woman (or a man, no matter what) with an inadequate perception of reality. She does not understand how men think, reduces their lust to sublime feelings. Moreover, she seems to think that a woman cannot be burdened with intelligence comparable to that of a man. Because all the women in this show are as dumb as traffic. Judging by the reviews and what my mother told me, many women grew up on this show. I’m afraid to think that a couple of generations who have watched this and similar series and films have just ruined their perception of reality by giving people basic characteristics of the characters of the series “Guardians, go!” The audience of this series is predominantly female, this is interconnected with the fact that in the series everything is saved by female beauty, do not understand where love and friendship came from without the history of its inception. Then some 50-year-old aunt Lena grows up from Novokuznetsk and waits for a Frenchman to come for her as a princess, and then she will be rescued by the wardens.
But there are, as they say, disadvantages... Despite the unrealistic nature of the characters, the three main characters are really quite pleasant and cute. In addition to pretty faces, you can also admire the aesthetics, which there are many, the songs are cool, sometimes a fabulous feeling of comfort slips through and a romantic burp falls back down the throat.

Revisited the film recently and compared their mature feelings from watching the film from childhood memories and delights thirty years ago.
As they say: ' A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, to good fellows lesson'.
What lesson can be learned from this fairy tale, a lesson that does not lie on the surface, but is buried quite shallow?
Thirty years ago, when I watched this film as a child, I drew attention to the romantic side of the picture - the story of the beautiful Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya and the brave lover Alexander Belov. A lot of people paid attention to that.
Too beautiful seemed history, accompaniment with wonderful musical works, which are on hearing and to this day. Thirty years later, I watched the film, and in light of today’s events, I saw something I didn’t notice as a child.
Russia is a country of secret police, at all times, and there are no guarantees that you will not be dragged by this Moloch.
In love, Alexander Belov wanders under the windows of his inaccessible lover Anastasia, who is very good on a warm June night. The moonlight illuminates her beautiful noble face and luxurious white dress. She is carefree and young - playfully picking up the rings on her hand. Well, that's where the idyll ends. She and her mother are arrested on libel.
No wealth, no big name or title can protect anyone from such a fate.
But, the most terrible scene and film is the civil execution of Anna Bestuzheva.
The Cheka is not only an invention of the Bolsheviks, as is commonly believed, but has much deeper historical roots.
The film ' Guards, go!' was shot in 1986-1987, that is, the film is more than 30 years old. The first film premiered on January 1, 1988. The star cast and cheerful young actors who starred in the main roles largely ensured his success.
The Internet writes a lot about all sorts ' gags' in the movie (for example, somewhere in the frame got electric switches, lamps). But, for example, in the same ' Titanic' counted more than a hundred ' gaffes', but I think no one will argue with the statement that the above film is a masterpiece.
At the time of release ' Gardemarinov' I was 15 years old, I read various adventure literature and dreamed a lot. I don’t remember the first time I saw the movie, but I saw it many times afterwards. And, I must say, more than others, I still love the first part of the trilogy - a four-part film, or mini-series ' Guards, go!' It was the triumvirate Kharatyan - Zhigunov - Shevelkov that I particularly liked, the actors of the same Mamaev and Domogarov, ' who joined the film later, not particularly impressed me.
Even Alexander Abdulov, to whom, watching his performance in other films, I treat, to put it mildly, with coolness - perhaps I feel that his complex and selfish disposition is everywhere visible through the clothes of the characters - here I accepted Lyadashchev unconditionally.
I don't know what captivates me here - whether the aroma of time and some "nostalgia" & #39; whether acting plus recklessness and courage of young people, or all this together... As they say, ' you can't tell the heart' Perhaps, indeed, there is a lack of far-fetchedness, and a certain simplicity (including even the ease on any switches), and sincerity of feelings, and romantic love (in connection with this there is a memory of my first and only), life truth, full of dangers, the music of the film, which is above all praise - and all this together determines my attitude to the film.
I think that the place here and ' former Musketeer' Boyarsky, passing, so to speak, the baton ' our boys'. He here fights with swords and sings, and romance from him and ' climbs', the nobility of his hero does not interfere with even a small ' nude' near the bath... I suspect that my peers, at one time ample ' snorted ' Dumas, this image is appreciated. In the case of de Brilli, it is difficult to disagree with what Alexander Vertinsky once said: ' The picture is made by an actor, and only the actor'.
Female images are a separate song. All of them - and the pleasant good Sophia, and the brilliant beauty Yaguzhinskaya, and even the lady who sought to protect the hero Kharatyan - at the height, all completely in the spirit of that gallant age.
We must also pay tribute to the talent of the director. It could have happened that we didn’t see this movie. Director Svetlana Druzhinina after the fire in her house was not up to filming at all, but by some miracle, otherwise you can not say, the script of the hitherto unknown writer Nina Sorotokina, on which she undertook to stage the film, fell into her hands. The director was helped by the aforementioned Nina Sorotokina, and the already famous screenwriter, writer Yuri Nagibin. At one time I read the fascinating memories of the latter - a truthful and soul-grabbing book.
In the networks there is information that now preparations are underway for the filming of the continuation of the trilogy - ' Gardemarinov-4' The main characters - the children of the first midshipmen - fall into the Russian-Turkish war. And what will come out of this, we will see in due time.
Alternative musketeer studies, backed by real male friendship, and not some there, the French, in 1987 embodied in the film with the Soviet quality “Guardians, go!” Of the newfangled trends, Boyarsky lit up there with a bare ass in order to completely humiliate the aged d'Artagnan. And in the rest of the film so turned out, the theme of rapidly diminishing patriotism came very by the time that Svetlana Druzhinina (director of the film) for a long time still filmed all these secrets of the imperial court. Sometimes I walk past the former door in her Sagittarius and swipe an uninvited male tear. But Nina Sorotokina (author of the book “Three from the Navigation School”) has also gone uphill since then and wrote a dozen more books of varying degrees of epicity and varying degrees of authenticity.
A bunch of glorious songs from this film at that time was so whistled in the vastness of our country that they were still quite relevant in the early 90s, when I graduated from high school. We sang them at prom. And Kharatyan, Zhigunov, Shevelkov in general looked like superstars. However, I still feel good about the latter. The soft pink couple “Alesha – Sophochka” still irritate me with their ami-ohs and I usually rewind them. But my favorite character, Gavrila, plays him Viktor Bortsov, even lit up supersong, always relevant, about our roads. It is better than all other pathos and tearful boyar songs.
The film once again glorified the time of Queen Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great. All these names of Lestok, Shetardi, Bestuzhev, etc. are now on everyone's ears and in this respect the film came very close to the court. Some humorous timbre was also successful, although the execution scene reminded of the past. I felt my tongue cut off. Now it would not be forgotten to mention that under Elizabeth, the only time in history, the death penalty was abolished. Optimistic on the body of a newly created story.
I'm not going to watch the movie again, I'm very tired, but let's not hang up on this. Especially if it's someone else's nose. And life will still have to give for the Motherland, so it does not matter who will then get your honor.

The legendary “gardemarines”, shot 30 years ago, are still commonly defined as “a bright film about friendship, love, honor and patriotism”. Indeed, the four-hour series intertwines a multitude of stories involving loyalty, hatred, intrigue, mystery and (un)expected denouement. However, whether the film is worthy of the title of “cult”, is a controversial question.
The plot tells the story of three cadets of the Navigation school who are involved in a big state game, the purpose of which is to undermine the reputation of Vice-Chancellor Alexei Bestuzhev. In the center of the story is his correspondence with the English and Austrian courts, which by the end of the fourth series already seems to have been in the hands of each hero. So, the paths of the main characters diverge almost immediately: the close conspirator Bestuzheva Alyosha Korsak, dressed as a woman, runs to Kronstadt; the romantic Belov, led by love and idealistic dreams, with letters of recommendation goes to St. Petersburg; and the unfortunate “baystruk” Olenev is waiting for his time in Moscow.
As the action develops, new characters appear in the film: the favorite of all men, Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya, who is forced to flee the country with the romantic Frenchman De Brigli; a mysterious and clearly something hiding Vasily Lyadashchev and, finally, surrounded by a bunch of selfish nuns Sophia. In general, there are not so many heroes, it is difficult to get confused in them, and they are all drawn into one big intrigue to the final, all according to the laws of the adventure genre.
Acting leaves a rather pleasant aftertaste, despite some theatricality, which in general "sin" Soviet films. Perhaps the most striking character was the initially negative character De Brigli. A sincere love for the impregnable Russian beauty results in a touching "Lanfren-Lanfra", in which we see no longer a cunning enemy-French, but a man exhausted by incompatibility. Almost every work of art has such a complex character, which can not be called either positive or negative, but which certainly attracts charisma and charm. So, in "Gardemarins" is definitely a hero of Boyarsky.
Returning to “Lanfren-Lanfra”, I want to say something about the other songs, which after 30 years remain on the ear, “learn” in music lessons and are sung in the kitchen. The music of Victor Lebedev allows you to simultaneously plunge into the atmosphere of the XVIII century and feel the departing Soviet era, to yearn and recharge with a determination not to occupy the midshipmen, to fall in love with them and sympathize with all the others. There are not many compositions in the film, especially when you consider that the film lasts four hours, but each song is a kind of “mark”, a turning point, after which there is no turning back. “The Song of Separation” tells about the difficult, but all-powerful love for the homeland and relatives, “Golubka” – about heartbreaking disappointment, “The Song of the Bystruk” – about the injustice of fate.
And only “Song of Friendship”, fervently performed by Kharatyan, is able to fill the soul with hope. Like the main characters themselves: cheerful, noble and ambitious wardrobes Belov, Korsak and Olenev. And although they pursue different goals and fight for different dreams, they are still infinitely faithful to each other, duty and homeland. In these concepts, perhaps, lies a rather saturated problem of the film. Nothing is more important than the basic values available to all: love, friendship, honor. Therefore, the characters who are so desperately fighting for their ideals, despite the simplicity, naivety, recklessness, are so cute to the viewer. This is probably the secret of the popularity of “gardemarines”.
This secret can be viewed under a microscope, cut into pieces and try to repeat the success, but only one thing is clear - Svetlana Druzhinina managed to create the perfect film of the bygone era - whether Elizabethan time, or the Soviet century - one that is associated with home, family, homeland and something else - elusive but expensive.
Watched the movie and wept!! When I was a teenager, I didn’t understand much. And now - it's a balm for the soul, what a game of actors, What actors!!! What songs!!! The whole movie, from the first song to the last. My respect for this film - Fly into my garden dove.
I remember watching this movie a lot in my childhood. For some reason, it was often played on television that their song just memorized. But now, after so much time, it is interesting to see the main characters, how young and beautiful they were. Especially striking is the young Sergei Zhigunov. And Dmitry Kharatyan has not changed at all.
The storyline of this film is very positive and fun. He has a lot of romance and passion. Although there are dramatic scenes, in general, after watching this picture it was pleasant on my soul. Boyarsky fit perfectly, as his charisma gave a special sharpness to the plot. Each series is full of events and the space of the series always causes intrigue and a desire to see what will happen next. A clean and positive series for the whole family to watch.
The film has a lot to see - and strong male friendship, and the unrestrained first youthful falling in love with charming beauties, and, of course, very confusing political intrigues at the Russian court during the reign of Elizabeth Petrovna.
Pupils of the Navigation School of the warden Korsak, Belov and Olenev quite accidentally fall into the confrontation of two “court groups” – Vice-Chancellor Bestuzhev and court doctor Lestok, who wants to compromise Bestuzhev before the Empress and strengthen the authority of France at the Russian court. The film is exciting from the first minute. Watch it and as if you immediately plunge into an era that is two hundred years away from us: colorful court masquerades, lush crinoline ladies with “flies” on their powdered faces, cavaliers with swords, volleys of fireworks. But the filmmakers did not forget to show the beauty of Russian nature, and with humor to remember about Russian roads – a problem for all time. I recommend this movie to all adventure lovers, especially on Russian themes.
One of my favorite movies, I’ve watched it countless times. A masterpiece of Soviet cinema.
Like life without spring, spring without leaves,
Leaves without thunderstorms and thunderstorms without lightning?
How years are boring Without the right to love
Fly to the call or your silent moan.
How years are boring Without the right to love
Fly to the call or your silent moan...
The most amazing song of the movie. How Dmitri Kharatyan sings it deeply.
Separate BRAVO to the actors who performed the main roles.
Alyosha Korsak — Dmitry Kharatyan, my favorite hero of the film. Young, handsome, brave, ready to give his life for friends and fatherland (as well as all the other characters of this stunning film). How nice he's changing into a girl. His stunning fly, which the heroes of the film call the “fatal mystery” made him a sex symbol of the era.
Sophia Zotova — Olga Mashnaya — the favorite heroine of the film. She and Haratyan are my favorite couple. Her eyes are so good that they can kindle a fire in the hearts of people. A very successful couple turned out, loved by the people.
Alexander Belov — Sergey Zhigunov — The most romantic hero of the film. He truly loves Anastasia. I am willing to go to death to save my beloved woman. But for the sake of his country and friends, he risks his life.
Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya — Tatyana Lutayeva — the most beautiful and sophisticated heroine of the film. The dream of all the men of the USSR who watched this film. She is graceful, slim, but at the same time brave. She and Zhigunov are an amazing couple. It is clear that the director chose the actors consciously and paired those who created it perfectly.
Nikita Olenev — Vladimir Shevelkov — the most noble and aristocratic hero of the film. Aware of his position in society (the illegitimate son of a master), he is modest, not a spender, and at the same time brave and braver than his friends. He also risks his life for his friends and fatherland.
Chevalier de'Brilli — Mikhail Boyarsky — a French spy in Russia, hopelessly in love with the Russian beauty Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya. A middle-aged man working for France, getting into various troubles in Russia. One scene where he jumps naked out of the bath and runs down the path, which is worth it. And his famous phrase "Anastasia, my star ..." Damned boots ... damned roads ... damned Russia..." is simply incomparable.
In general, all actors are selected perfectly, all very harmoniously fit into the plot, even secondary characters.
A sample of adventure films that were able to shoot in Soviet times - with all the inherent romance.
And the musical accompaniment to the film gave us several “eternal” hits, which only “Lanfras” performed by Mikhail Boyarsky is worth. I recommend to all fans of good Soviet cinema.
The director was able to organically combine deep feelings and open adventure. And honest patriotism put into the hands of lying politicians. The truth of our time, not just that century. This movie will be remembered and watched forever.
All subsequent parts of the film are no less successful than the first, although some characters are replaced (Nikita Oleneva is further played by Mikhail Mamaev, and Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, instead of Elena Tsyplakova, is played by the brilliant Natalia Gundareva) and added (in the third part, instead of Belov, the character of Pavel Gorin is introduced, brilliantly played by the handsome Alexandr Domogarov ). This film does not spoil, but only fills with new heroes.
Three friends-cadets of the Navigation school are involved in intrigue around the papers stolen from Vice-Chancellor Bestuzhev. Of course, it is not without love.
Once a four-part TV movie spawned a minicult, which was enough for two much less successful sequels. But, unlike the cult of Musketeers, success was largely dictated by the female part of the audience, the fall for young and not very handsome and the historical and costume entourage. The buzzword “sex symbol” stuck to Zhigunov and especially to Kharatyan, and most of the melodrama was created by the seemingly negative hero of Mikhail Boyarsky, on whose charm the second film of the trilogy lasted. Added to the popularity and music of Victor Lebedev (words, by the way, composed by Yuri Ryashentsev, as well as the same musketeers).
But after many years, something in this miniseries is confusing. And this is despite the fact that in addition to melodrama, there is also a pertinent condescending irony added by Alexander Abdulov and Evgeny Evstigneev, and the evil intrigue of Lestok, famously created by Vladislav Strzhelchik, and the word “Russia”, pronounced by heroes with a frightening liberal consciousness frequency ... Don’t get me wrong, it was a great movie. But the departing Soviet era somehow does not coincide with the patriotic romanticism of the “Gardemarins”, causing a slight tingling in the spirit of “Russia, which we lost, but did not find again”.
The Merry Queen
There was Elizabeth.
Singing and having fun
The order is not.
A. K. Tolstoy
The bright star of the Russian Empire is the Elizabethan era. It went down in history with the unsurpassed palaces of Rastrelli, endless balls, an abundance of conspiracies and... a devastated treasury. Incendiary times were, in general, and adventures themselves suffering hearts found. Is it not because of the "Gardemarines" eagerly grew young people and sang cheerful slogans? Compared to “their” musketeers, “our” navigators are even more reckless, desperate, and certainly incredibly lucky. St. Petersburg Svetlana Druzhinina is not a city, but a large village where familiar faces are everywhere, and you will not have to run far for support. The guys are constantly in the thick of events, conflicts sparkle around them with swords, and danger thickens with powder smoke. No matter what tricks French spies, court intriguers and imperial apostates go to, but for almost thirty years everyone knows: the midshipmen will cope and rush forward, carving dust from tracts of national importance.
What exactly doesn’t fade with the years is the brilliance of outfits and polished weapons. The famous spirit of the painting became immortal because it was saturated with the historical significance of that era. Just as Elizabeth herself led the guards to a coup with the words “You know whose daughter I am!”, the tape does not let you forget about your main purpose. Alexander Belov, Nikita Olenev and Alyosha Korsak can not be reproached for annoying correctness and intolerant cleanliness. Oh, no, young guys are great at catching cones and getting rope grooves around their necks. How could it be otherwise? The fate of Russia is at stake, the female honor of salvation cries out - so to the full support and without regret. Love for a beautiful lady perfectly complements feelings for the homeland - for noble hearts, one is unthinkable without the other. All the difficulties and trials predetermined to the heroes of the plot of the novel, Druzhinina removed with respect to the nobility of the past. And with nobility and die not afraid, although it is better to live, even if life is evasive, cunning and not predictable. How unexpected is love at the monastery gates, how desirable is the test for the heart of Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya. And let the older D’Artagnan, who sang to “Lanfren-Lanfra”, and let the fatal correspondence not so easily reach – and time itself decides on ranks and distributes earrings.
Fun and valor, betrayal and anticipation - the colorful world of "Gardemarines" is full of musical streams. Translating the lines of Sorotokina’s novel into film language and in accordance with her taste, Druzhinina writes the chronicle of youthful recklessness. Partly, by the way, and severe, which can be traced to the fate of Nikita Olenev, who is somewhat lost against the background of bright friends. Claims for the documentary of events remain claims, but the director did not dwell on the drawing characteristic of youth maximalism. If it's "great and terrible." Bestuzhev, through the mouth of Evstigneev, strictly declares his service to Russia, and only then to himself, then there is nothing surprising in the transfer of this peculiar baton over stretching hands. In fact, it is logical to divide all the heroes into camps precisely according to their national feelings, every self-respecting gentleman would fight for the heart of a beautiful woman. Therefore, Abdulov bypasses Boyarsky in a conditional competition, and therefore his character seems better written out. The traditions of Russian patriotism, which survive under any socio-political system, are like concrete preparation, on which you can perch any intrigue and fiery whirlwind of feelings.
Ah, youth, youth - a time of simple desires. Why does it pass and leave behind regret? Naturally, "Guardemarines" do not age as much as courage does not age, but the guys grow up and mature. What surprises will life bring, will it not lead to disappointment? The bravura tone of the picture excludes doubts, here it is not possible to get really angry with anyone, because even worthy men compete with grace. Impatience reaches its peak, passions beat in the temples, risk is carried by goosebumps, and only a crazy desire to excel will not let you fool around. According to Druzhinina’s tape, it is not so easy to study Russian history, but to imbue it is another matter. For this purpose, every wig involved will be useful. “Gardemarines” was conceived as a motivating fairy tale, the heroes of which could easily be tried on themselves, and they became one. Sasha, Nikita, Alyosha... They are different, but as befits real friends – perfectly complement each other. The integrity of the Russian Musketeers is the indivisible greatness of the whole of Russia, which will always have faithful guardians. Hanging your nose is the last thing, or better yet, prepare your saddle. Practice will replace unfinished training, and feats will not keep you waiting.
What can I say about the movie? Brilliant! Hard! That's right!
Very interesting, patriotic, very Russian cinema. A film about love for motherland, woman, friends. A film about honor, honesty, loyalty.
Actors.
Zhigunov, Kharatyan, Shevelkov... They feel that they are inseparable in life. We played 100 percent. Their best roles. Sincere faces, views, voices... I believe them, every word. It has been imprinted since childhood that it is necessary to talk about honor, the Motherland and Russia with such faces and voices. Well done! It's time to put a monument to these three heroes of the film. Not the actors, but the characters of the film.
Boyarski... Ah D, Artagnan, D, Artagnan... As a child, Brilli was an antagonist to me. Not now. He's just a man from another camp. He served his country, too. Yours. Risked everything for love. What's not a positive hero? And in the performance of Mikhail Sergeyevich is doubly positive. It's just that he's tired of the last Russian. And the penultimate, too. Joke.
We can celebrate the work of all actors. Evstigneev, Strzhelchik, the unique Abdulov, Lutaeva (Anastasia! my star!), Mashnaya, Fighters (aka Gavrila), Pavlov and others. Everyone played great. Get used to the role.
Atmosphere
With the exception of music, the atmosphere of the film as if moved in time and were in the eighteenth century. Great! Costumes, palaces, masquerade, nature. . .
MUSIC
Hits for all time. It hurts when you listen to these songs. “A Song of Friendship,” “A Song of Love,” “Lanfras,” “Don’t Hang Your Nose!” These songs can be heard separately from the film. Which I do periodically. Boyarsky and Kharatyan sang well.
A small bow to all who have invested their efforts to create this film. This is really art.
I'm not evaluating. There's no price for this movie.
"I want to, say, your reality, shunning the wasteland." (E.H. Santa Maria Guerra)
In order to evaluate (and even more critically evaluate) Svetlana Druzhinina’s “Gardemarins”, you need to distance yourself internally, move away, and this task is not the easiest. It’s not that key cues are memorized in primary school age. Not even in a personal autobiographical: a mole above the lip, the music of Viktor Lebedev, recorded in the ninth grade on a tape recorder along with comments by an inappropriate grandmother, or a novel by Nina Sorotokina, read with the speed recommended by ophthalmologists “no more than forty pages a day.” Just the very spirit of this tape does not allow it to become a relic of the 80s, outdated enough to outline the desired distance. Almost thirty years have passed, and we are all standing on the same perestroika threshold, trying with one foot to step into the future and the other to find support. That native land, which must be somewhere out there, under the rotten layers of posthumously condemned historical formations: a very recent, but already past moderately fed stagnation, romantically boundless 1990s, went straight into the mythology of Soviet civilization. To paraphrase the “good man from the Secret Chancellery” Vasily Ledashchev, everyone needs a Motherland, everyone. And "Gardemarines" - that is, an attempt not to resurrect it, not to dream.
The novel and mini-series are close plot, but not intonation. Sorotokina is characterized by an old-fashioned love of fact, historical context. Of course, without trying to entertain the reader here is not enough. But the very “conspiracy of the Lopukhins”, this absurd bloody epilogue of the era of deadened palace coups, into the orbit of which three cadets of the Navigation school inadvertently fell, is reproduced without artistic assumptions, reliably and accurately, with a pronounced touch of semi-documentality. The screen version of the same story is brighter, louder and more tragic, it has the emotional range of old Moscow Art Theatre productions and intonation of romance. The first notes, perhaps, are false: a neat mess of extras, a trio of friends singing, palpably missing the phonogram, about the saddle and the paddle, feverish throwing between Paris and St. Petersburg in an attempt to introduce the ignorant to the course of European political intrigues, because of which someone’s papers are about to be stolen and someone’s joints will crack on the rack. But then high female voices soar in a chorus, the deaconian bass hums down with a thick recitative, the wind from the Gulf of Finland rattles beards and veils, combs the powder from Life Guards wigs, the distant bell ringing interferes with the whip squeal, and the literary expressiveness of speeches slightly touched by archaic ceases to cut the ear.
This is a film about love and dislike, but romantic images - Boyarsky, who lost his dove from his hand, even running through the meadow is impossible beautiful Lutaeva, simple-haired, untidy, with some eternal groaning gesture breaking thin hands - are not in focus. Fate is not purple flowers, delicate petals to your beloved face, not a look with which to light a fire. It is a homeland that demands service, devotion, and sacrifice, a Russia that is understood geographically, politically, and historically. Sprawled in full width, immense, with sky-propping Kronstadt pine trees and prepared runaway, deprived and in love bed of white moss. Lazy, imposing, recklessly generous, but already looking at the neighbors with a crafty squint, signifying that instead of Russian lands they are now waiting for the bestuzhev kukish. Shown unadorned. Russian characters, generosity and meanness, shine and dirt of everyday life pass before the viewer. And, no matter how many languages were cut for mere gossip in the salons, no matter what longing did not settle in the eyes of the elderly, with semi-contemptuous sympathy heeding the clutter of the ambitious and naive “kids of Petrov’s nest”, there is in this gradually developing image of the Motherland some amazing sense of self-worth. Ability at the moment of temptation to abandon the former frivolous habits and momentary lusts, reborn by suffering, and - a precious unique feature - eternal youth, readiness again and again without fear to approach the threshold of the unknown.
Russia’s enemies were, are and will always be, as well as traitors who are ready to sell their homeland for a ringing purse of coins or a crunch of banknotes. it is a pity that in our time there will not be enough three such ardent and disinterested young men ready to lay down their heads for Russia. The match, put in the hearts of the audience by the director, should flash a bright flame at a time of danger, designed to unite us in the face of the enemy, and would give us strength to beat off the heart of the lady: '.
Some will probably call this film a fairy tale, and the next appeal will be to such people: how low one must fall before oneself to be honored to interfere with the legends of Troy? Everyone should defend his honor and beloved, every self-respecting Russian person!
Love tape adorns the film, adding new colors to it and saturating the match, which was mentioned above.
The selection of actors is excellent, and the actors themselves live in my heart, not like Dmitry Kharatyan and Sergey Zhigunov, but like Alyoshka and Alexander Belov.
And if you do not look through the lines, then the film itself turned out to be a real masterpiece, like many others shot in the Soviet Union. I do not know what films Khrushchev and Yeltsin watched, but they were hardly guided by honor and patriotism when they sold the country for green papers.
Oh. When I first saw this movie, I was a little girl, if not in age, then in spirit. I didn't share life and acting. After watching this film, I was so fascinated by the idea of eternal friendship that after learning about the fate of the actors, I broke up with this story to the ground. & #39. You're friends!' I screamed into the screen, not believing what I learned. I just couldn't believe that friendship could be played.
To be honest, when I started watching, I expected a little different. I was expecting something more like the story of three guys taking down enemies and breaking down barriers together. But then you realize that this is something else, but it has not become more faded. Of course, the story seems unfinished, and further changes in the cast seem to cut off the two subsequent films from the first, making them rather not sequels, but something separate.
The song ' Don't Hang Up' has long been the lyrics I used to say to myself in difficult moments.
“The diaper has been rinsed. Maybe Lutetia needs a nose. The rooster doesn't sing a duet.
A good, lyrical, but little historical film, the plot of which is sucked out of the finger. Three handsome midshipmen – Alyosha Korsak, Sashenka Belov and Nikita Olenev for four episodes help in the search for the stolen “papers of Bestuzhev” – correspondence of the Vice-Chancellor with diplomats of foreign countries. These searches are intertwined with love intrigues, secrets of Catherine’s palace and teach real friendship, true love.
There are few historical facts in this film other than names and positions at court, but the filmmakers honestly warn about this at the very beginning. The film is worth watching because of the brilliant performance of actors - Evgeny Evstignev, Alexander Abdulov, Mikhail Boyarsky, and, of course, young midshipmen - Dmitry Kharatyan, Sergey Zhigunov and Vladimir Shevelkov. Female roles performed by Olga Mashna (Sofia) and Tatiana Lutaeva (Anastasia) fully revealed the atmosphere of eternal love of young hearts that a person can be capable of.
This is one of the movies I want to watch over and over again.

This series is often shown on TV, but some 4-5 years ago I could not watch it. Why did I think the movie was boring and uninteresting? And then, when I was cleaning the house, I turned on the TV, and there the Gardemarines are walking - so my great love for this masterpiece was born! When I decided to write a review, I didn’t even know where to start, what to continue, or what to write about, because all the emotions that overwhelm me can not be contained on one page! What a beautiful movie!
What wonderful talented actors! What love scenes, and they cling to the soul and turn all emotions inside out, without modern vulgarity and pornography. Remember the moment when Belov says goodbye to Anastasia in the swamp! She enters the room and at this moment the viewer sees only the love eyes of Belov (Zhigunov). These eyes can be crazy lights, these are real feelings! And the music at this moment is what! The tears fall on your eyes!
The music and songs in this movie are a different subject. Unfortunately, such beautiful songs are not written now, they penetrate into the very depths of the soul and heart, cause just a fountain of emotions! I want to live under these songs and most importantly love! It is impossible to omit the moment that this film is completely imbued with patriotism, which, as I would like to note, is very much lacking in modern cinema. And in general, you can talk endlessly about this film and about a carefully thought-out script, and about the acting, and about the music, and about the beauty of costumes, and in general about everything!
I really love this series and will watch it again. And here someone wrote that it should not be shown to children, I strongly disagree with this! I'll show it as soon as my son is older! With the help of such a movie from a boy you can grow a real man! Thank you to all the creators of the Gardemarines for the emotions I feel when watching the film!

It is not very clear, however, why the midshipmen and why the sail and the soul are one – no sea and sail throughout the film, not a single midshipman even in the eye. However, the beautiful word is “gardemarine”. Sound!
Something like "our answer to the Musketeers." Uh, a worthy attempt, although the impeccable drive of the film Jungwald-Hilkiewicz this film still does not reach. And the songs in the Musketeers will still be better. Although these are very good, both the title (mainly music, not text), and "Lanfras" (mainly performance).
Kharatyan is suddenly handsome here, although I don’t like him anywhere else. Amazingly beautiful young Lutaeva. Boyar chic in black long hair (de Brilli is much more beautiful than d'Artagnan, oddly enough).
The main discovery for me (that is, in my childhood I did not pay attention to this, of course) is Abdulov’s game. Well, finally, no complaints to him, the game is true, the image is convex. He did, though! This is what he did...a real agent. A professional is smart, cold-blooded, a person is moderately tough, moderately generous ... how he recruits young people, how clearly he works ... this is how much I do not aspire to agent work, but also me, if he needed it, probably he would recruit. I would go to him to work for the good of the country. Right word, even Stirlitz next to him is not impressive.
The intrigue at first seems somewhat overcomplicated for an adventure film, but then you figure it out. Evstigneev, as always, is flawless.
And duels like Balon did! Especially the last duel of de Brilli and the midshipman, uh, it's better than the Musketeers. I have seen such a real, exciting sword fight in general once - in the theater of the Soviet Army, at the premiere of Hamlet, his duel with Laert. And here I saw in childhood, again, but did not appreciate.
It is a pity that the images of the wardens themselves are somehow ... similar to each other. One prince-bastard, the second in the theater girls play, but still somehow perceived the same. And their friendship is declared, but not worked out. As a fact. It was possible to work more with the youth of the director, the masters themselves know how to play, and these should have taken on stronger.
Somewhat prevents cosmetics on the guys (and maybe it was accepted? yes, like not so ...) and the fact that the letter, which a whole minute of screen time is given, is written in modern Russian, without yats, ere and frogs.
Overall, it's a good thing. Cheerful, somewhat naive, somewhat feminine - but good.
About "the last Russians", their "whores of Babylon" and the Frenchman with "a good nose."
Thanks to this unique film masterpiece, I learned how people used to swear. I will not say that it was necessary for my general development, but when the unpleasant aunt locked Sophia in the room, it was very much felt that she, angry, would now say something nasty in response. During one of the first screenings, I was immediately worried about which one. She wouldn’t say “Foolish” or “Scoundrel” in the 18th century. And Sophia found a very convincing name for her time - "crocodile". I personally believed that such a word was in common then.
Such small things, which do not particularly affect the plot, sometimes matter. For example, here is another simple-looking scene where Sasha Belov could not take a saucer with a cup from the hands of Lyadashchev (Abdulov), and eventually took one cup to still drink tea. This is a funny moment.
The scene of the execution of Anna Bestuzheva is, of course, not “Constance!”, but under the convincing cry (and outfit!) of her daughter Anastasia, I cried as a child, and now. Strong music in this scene adds to the effect. And in general, this “Yaguzhin” motif in all his interpretations always brought me literally to goosebumps. And when Anastasia said goodbye to her native walls (in the 1st series), and when she asked her aunt-nun to bless her on the long road. And, of course, when I sang the song in the house in the swamps.
Previously, all these songs had to be recorded on a microphone on tape recorders. Inevitable from the song was the phrase "This is for you." Take "that floated on the final chords. I don’t even understand this song without it. There is also a song by Dmitry Kharatyan with a background monologue by Olga Mashna that “I don’t even know his name.”
And when watching, I always liked their lip dialogue, which was overshadowed by the song about "The Land Where There Is So Much Separation." It was always interesting to guess what they said to each other (for example, “Come with me”).
On the songs the strongest 3 episodes. All of the movie's "hits" came in. I wonder why the very first was about Nikita Olenev's biker. Considering the attitude of Druzhinina to Vladimir Shevelkov. How did she admit (perhaps, I thought, let him sing, and forget about his story in general). When I learned that he had taken her son’s place, it became clear why his character was given so little screen time (compared to the other two midshipmen). If all the scenes are arranged so that everything is clear who did what behind the scenes, then Nikita had several gaps. The second series went without him at all.
The plot is constantly full of twists and turns. Every time until the victory, I hope that today Anastasia’s mother will be saved, and everything will cost. And very interesting changed the fate of Sophia by the river with a boat, barely heard “Save the papers!”. That’s how it came to its “holy places” (“This is joy!”).
Every time they show the last scene with the carriage by the sea (and flowers for Yaguzhinskaya), it becomes sad. So all four episodes went through. As fast as the New Year. And wait until they're on TV again. No videos, DVDs, or the internet have weakened my fortune when the final credits for "Don't Hang Your Nose, Midshipmen" are released.
Time passes, life priorities change, and “Gardemarines” Druzhinina remain always young. I even now, when I review the film, it seems that I am transported to 15 years ago and I am again worried about the vicissitudes of the plot of the film, to say that I remember the script, almost like “Our Father”, is to shrug my soul – I remember and know all the lines and songs on the film, but every time I look like the first time. Apparently, Svetlana Druzhinina during the shooting of this film invested some piece of soul, which does not give rest and does not leave indifferent viewers. And it seems that the plot of the book by Nina Sorotokina is banal, but the historical background fades into the background when viewing the twists and turns of a short period of the life of three wardrobes. A separate theme is the songs from the film, which became his calling card and decoration of the film.
Alexander Belov performed by Sergey Zhigunov is magnificent, the favorite character who fascinates with simplicity and everyday cunning, which ultimately allows him to get both the love of a beautiful woman and a position in society.
Alexei Korsak, played by Dmitry Kharatyan, is not just a living hero, he has become so the personification of honesty and decency that it is quite difficult to watch him in the roles of villains and vulgars.
Nikita Olenev and Vladimir Shevelkov, who played it, the dream of women, is noble in soul and deeds, as one can not admire it.
Tatiana Lutaeva, after the role of Anastasia Yaguzhinskaya, could not play anyone more beautiful, cleaner and nobler. Let in the image of the heroine and deviation from the original source, but how beautiful she is, how not to believe in the sincerity of love for her de Brilli and Belov.
Mikhail Sergeyevich Boyarsky in the image of Chevalier de Brilli embodied the underplayed moments of the image of D, Artagnan. The cynical and unscrupulous hero is combined with a romantic beginning, his Anastasia! My soul! is sincere and shrill.
A great film of my childhood, adolescence, adolescence and adulthood, each time when watching giving a storm of emotions. Svetlana Druzhinina gave an unforgettable movie, where there are all the attributes that excite the child and youth soul. Hi live cinema in the hearts of not only the children of that time, but also today, maybe a little nobility will sink into their souls.
