The captain or wife of the captain. - Actually, we have a captain on the ship ... more precisely, the captain.
- The captain's wife. And we have a Captain!
Begin your duties, Captain!
I have heard about this film for a long time: announcements on TV, posts of actors in social networks, etc. But for some reason, she avoided the show. And the fact that this is a series, I honestly was a little scared. Somehow I forgot how to watch the movie ' from series to series'.
And recently, watching the filmography Alexander Ratnikov (plays the role of captain Leonid Verkhovtsev), came across the series 'Captain'. And in a few days, the first part was completely viewed by me.
I can’t help it, but it’s important for me that the main characters of the film are sympathetic to me (in human, acting or external terms). Anna Mikhailovskaya (Spanish role Alexandra Yermolenko) for me is an incredibly charming girl and actress. I am familiar with many of her works, and in each Anna causes me admiration and even some admiration for her natural beauty.
The heroine of Anna Mikhailovskaya in this film, of course, is childishly trusting and naive. Not all viewers will pat her on the head for this, but I’m sure if this role was played by some actress from the same soap dramas, then the effect of the series would be absolutely no. And in Anna something catches, somehow forgive her mistakes Sasha Yermolenko. Moreover, Sasha comes to another city, to strangers, to a man whom she once cursed. At this time, it is Masha that seems to her, if not a friend, then at least a good person. And we, the audience, see what this Masha is doing, and for Alexandra it is just a kind of support in such an unusual life situation. By the way, at the end of the film, Sasha shows completely different character traits. No wonder life teaches a lot and opens eyes to many things.
Alexander Ratnikov, I think, can play more characteristic characters. It shows that he can (when necessary) get out of himself the most necessary emotion for the viewer. Now he is cute and fluffy, and in a few minutes he will take out the pain, hatred, and anger experienced beyond his years.
Unfortunately, the hero of Leonid Verkhovtsev was not quite clear. It is worth comparing him, for example, with the captain from the film 'My Captain', whose role was played by Dmitry Singers. There you can immediately see that before the audience an experienced man in life and by sea. He is harsh, clearly knows his business and does not want to let anyone on ' his ship'. In 'Captain' Leonid, of course, younger, but if he is such an authority for his team, then he must be imperious and, if not harsh, then at least manly. Moreover, in addition to the sea, he is engaged in business. He's a businessman. He must have the qualities of a businessman. Yes, in the movie it is, but something or someone is always denying it. A big house, stocks, a lot of money are just pictures that are not supported by the character of Leonid. He must remind with every action, every word, who is the captain and the manager. But this claim, of course, applies not to the game and talent of Alexander Ratnikov, but to the team of creators: you need not only to clearly define the character, but also to show it on the screen.
A special sympathy in my heart was caused by the images of beautiful seascapes. Although even the sea in the picture could be added more, because the sea is not much.
The storyline is very unusual, because not every day rape leads to sincere love. The unpleasant situation causes the viewer sincere empathy for the girl Sasha, and after that it is already ridiculous to abandon her, overlooking the rest of the series. A good cinematic move.
Heroes "from hatred" in small steps go "to love", "but something here these steps were very broad." I personally lacked a more detailed relationship Leni and Sasha. If such a story happened in life, it would definitely be more complicated and longer. Heroes should have more laundry to each other, and they should be gradual. It's a bit erased in the movie.
I would like to see more pictures with a love story, the relationship of the captain and his team, etc., and get a gallant and humanly unpleasant ex-wife of the captain Masha (Spanish role Anna Shepeleva). And again, money, greed, envy, anger and betrayal come to the fore. Still a little too much. It is strange that no one around Mary, like blind kittens, sees her flaws, and there are many of them. Even, Leonid’s house assistant, Valentina will not hint at this to the heroes, although she feels that this girl is another gift.
In general, the characters in this series are all very colorful. And Relatives from Grushovka (typical representatives of the village who live in a special way and love also in a special way), and (open, kind, able to love just like that), and the captain's team (each of its participant is not like everyone), and Brother Leonida
In 2019, the second part of of this series should be released. After reading the announcement, I think the second season will be similar to the first. I wonder what else can happen if everything that can and cannot happen has already happened. But it is pleasant to me pair Leni and Sasha, pleasant their views on each other, their difficult, but sincere love. I will certainly watch the sequel, as long as it does not aggravate the impression that is still so fresh in me from the first 16 episodes of the film 'Captain'.
