I was fluffy! .. . When I had a big cat under my head, on a pillow, lying and purring, I was ' fluffy'. When I watched the series 'Tobol' I was curious. What do cats and TV series have in common? Yes, one thing - KYF!!!
Alas, I did not read the novel of the popular Siberian-Tyumen writer Alexei Ivanov & #39; Tobol' (based on which the eponymous horror film and television series are staged). But my friends who read him speak warmly of him. I will not argue with critics of the writer (some of them suspect that his novels were written not so much by them as by hired ones ' Litrabs' referring to the difference in stylistics; by the way, if you analyze my poems ' according to stylistics' it turns out that they were written by 3-4 people, but in fact - one me!). Of course, in the old days, famous Russian writers (from Tolstoy to Pikul) created their historical novels YEARS! The current ' writers ' bake them like pancakes, which is already alarming. But for their 'word' they bake! As reported on the Internet, A. Ivanova was not satisfied with the TV/film version of his novel 'Tobol' and he demanded to remove his credits from there. However, in the credits to the series, the reference to his authorship (' based on ') is saved!
But enough ' literature', let's move on to the subject of our consideration - the series 'Tobol'. Everything was made economically correct and new-fashioned: the maximum possible material was shot, from which a movie was then mounted for rental, and then a TV series for TV (Channel 1). The picture turned out to be expensive, because the Government of the Tyumen region, and SIBUR, and ' Gazprom-Neft' invested and did not skimp on it, so it smells like oil for a kilometer 'ablom'. Another thing that the series is the date '2018'. It's been a long time. . .
... As for the artistic merits of the series 'Tobol', they (on the first viewing), in my opinion, are quite high. Again, I was curious. Everything (again on the first viewing!) looked quite natural and logical (although there are unfinished court lines, for which director Igor Zaitsev - fe!). The Tyumen expanses are pleasing to the eye (albeit with a large share of computer graphics), and the then whole Russian characters, quite decently conveyed to the audience by modern Russian actors. And there is no notorious serial 'soap', but there is 'love and drama' as in life! It's a pity, the music is worthless, ' background', as in Hollywood ' passers-by' (would I have ordered it at least Aigee; or was he busy, or did not agree on the price?) .
There are in the series and ' movies '. One of the viewers saw a truck somewhere in the frame (until I found it!). But it is not clear where it came from in the Russian fortified town, ' earthy', taken from above, suddenly found whole ' dugouts' as in the dzungars (' steppe and steppe around') - similar, where did a captured Swede shoot at Russians with a cannon? Take a closer look at these scenes, maybe I didn't notice something. . .
In general, the series 'Tobol' worthy of praise and... re-views!
