Nagiyev-Zadov is still super, but without growth is not the same. Paradox? If you want, yes. This once again confirms the existence of creative duets that do not share. Divide, for example, Stoyanov and Oleynikov, Chvanov and Kasilov - what will happen? Nothing. The same can be said about the duo Nagiyev-Rost. They managed to create hundreds of remarkable, colorful images. And this is the result of joint, long-term creative activity. Virtually free. Careful, Modern! was shot almost on enthusiasm, with an extremely low budget. I must say that the actors managed to create individual images that do not lose their relevance even after the collapse of the duo. One of these images was the image of ensign Zadov. It is no coincidence that he was saved in this sequel. This is Nagiyev’s thing that cannot be taken away from him. But the image of Zina Traktorenko, who was so funny in the “modern”, without the image of botanist Semyon Petrovich, alas, baked. The images of the drunken Stepan, the son of Pasha, fell down. They were left for entourage. But in the center they decided to leave a popular warrant officer, who surrounded himself with heroes of famous and not very actors. It is very surprising how such lumps as Gurchenko, Vasilyeva, Selin, Polishchuk agreed to appear in the series. Other famous actors also appeared. What attracted them vulgar and grotesque contacts with a stupid warrant officer is unclear. Perhaps this is the result of a good relationship with Nagiyev. For example, he himself was surprised how Gurchenko agreed to star with him in the series.
I must say, the sequel of the moderns is amusing, but it is not funny. The lack of growth is felt from the beginning. Fedortsov in the image of warrant officer Prikhodko - just infuriates, so the actor overplays. Looking at this pathetic parody, one involuntarily recalls the truly comic image of warrant officer Pastushenko and misses the latter. In the sequel to the modernists, Nagiyev also abandoned female images, which he obtained magnificently. In general, we can say that the attempt to restore the acclaimed series failed. And it is not that the growth left him (if he were left alone, without Nagiyev, it would be the same nonsense), but that the indivisible duo broke up.
