In the pursuit of objectivity, while remaining human By the time I watched the series, I was already familiar with the American source. It is saddening that the workers of our film industry do not use the riches of Russian classical and modern literature and do not promote new ideas of screenwriters, but try to make money on already known successful plots. Not much more than the US.
However, despite the fact that in the 1 series of the new series I watched, the number of means of expression that copy the original, ranging from dialogues to the appearance of the main character, is outraged, I personally cannot but give the film a high rating. And here's why.
Firstly, the picture clearly shows such topical and burning in Russia and in other countries, the problem of infantility and spiritual weakness of many modern young people (not all, of course, but, sadly, many). As a representative of modern youth, I can honestly say that yes, it exists and is growing. And in the plan of the American series it is either not laid, or I personally when watching, alas, could not count it. By the way, I got bored in the middle of season 2.
Secondly, the presence in the frame of the actor-personality – Maxim Averin, who with a wonderful game develops and broadcasts to the audience ideas on this problem. Everyone relates to the work of Averin differently. Personally, when I saw him on stage live, I can say that he is one of the best actors of our time. The actor always brings a part of himself into the role, his soul is the material for the role; he cannot become another person, but can take on the circumstances, biography and character of the character. No Glukharev attributed to all the roles of Averin (as well as other good actors roles that made them famous) in Charlie I did not see. There is a personality actor as Charlie's dog. And I care about the thoughts that he sends to his partner and through him to the audience, even if they express themselves obscenely (well, they like to show this to people here), but spiritually, without malicious irony, turning uncomfortable phrases into revelations. And then, seeing a living person in front of you, you forget about all the other shortcomings of the series.
Therefore, 10 for the actor-personality, which are few, and -1 for everything else.
9 out of 10
