"Deep impact": the actors playing the anthem of life

1998 joking can be called apocalyptic, in this period in cinema through the efforts of several Directors came to an end. Such a curiosity – with a difference of only two months in rolling out two paintings on the same subject, with a fairly similar plot, but with a completely different fate. In July, the American car blew up “Armageddon” Michael Bay, but a little earlier, in may, the audience managed to scare the movie Mimi Leder "deep impact" (actors: Robert Duvall, Elijah wood, Tea Leoni, Morgan Freeman, Vanessa Redgrave).

Storyline

A Colossal comet which first discovered normal teenage Leo Biederman (Elijah wood), inexorably approaching the Earth. The consequences of a collision will be global and irreversible. The international community forms the Russian-American crew to launch it on the Shuttle “Messiah” in space. The task of the astronauts is very clear – to eliminate a celestial body that threatens to destroy all mankind. An interesting innovation of the film "deep impact" of the actors, and all members of the crew believe the construction of the Ark, this security measure is evaluated in two ways, and the viewer. It turns out that the Americans allowed the failure of the mission “Messiah” and therefore, build a shelter, in which select 200 thousand people, among them teachers, scientists, engineers, doctors, artists and, of course, the military and members of the government.

Humanity is not for rent

Simultaneously, the astronauts could land on the surface of a celestial body and the place where a few nuclear bombs. But the explosion of a comet is divided into two unequal pieces. One, falling into the Atlantic ocean, causing unprecedented tsunami, which virtually destroys the coastline of the United States. A second piece, bigger in space, and destroy the threat could rest in orbit, the astronauts. Such a depressing synopsis of exactly characterizes the drama "deep impact”. The actors and roles, accurately chosen by the creators, along with musical accompaniment are the perfect addition to the overall game storyline.

Desperate step in the direction of realism

The Film “deep impact" of the actors who, like the crew have an international origin, supported the cult of the cosmic threat, carefully nurtured the American film industry. To work on a project Leder and producers, Joan Bradshaw, Spielberg approached with all responsibility and seriousness. To work on the script, they have attracted all kinds of consultants to the visual part and the technical side of the shots look as realistic as possible. Eminent astronomers Eugene and Carolyn Shumaker, the dog who ate the heavenly bodies, were the main consultants on the film “deep impact”. The actors playing the roles of astronauts, floating in the air, sometimes forgotten and frolicked like small children. But when I had to shoot episodes in these suits, the fun diminished: moreover, they were terribly heavy, and caused the actors get claustrophobic. To create not only realistic, but also a fascinating spectacle, the artist-producer of the film Leslie Dilley had to be guided not only reliable scientific knowledge, but also its own vibrant imagination.

A Stellar cast

Stellar acting casting boasts not just a powerful blockbuster. Robert Duvall was so good that they set the pace and the younger generation of actors. Ty Leonie was pleasantly surprised as the viewer and the preconceived critics by playing inspired and heartfelt. A very young Elijah wood along with leelee Sobieski played reliably. Surprised and pleased the audience, James Cromwell, Vanessa Redgrave, Maximilian Schell and Jon Favreau who confirmed his professionalism, is literally erased the definition of episodic and their roles. Morgan Freeman, as usual, was out of competition, a great actor.

Hymn to life

But in all seriousness, and magnitude of the work done on reliable “space”, “deep impact" (the actors all as one testify to that fact) in the first place – drama, and after - the film is a disaster. Thanks to the efforts of screenwriters Michael Tolkin and Bruce Joel Rubin, Apocalypse and space, the threat became a backdrop for several human tragedies. For this reason, many viewers think the film chamber, philosophizing and obscenely slow for a story about the end of the world. This became the advantage the brainchild of Mimi Leder, and its disadvantage. Movie "deep impact" of the actors who are imbued with the fate of their characters, despite the visible entourage of the film-catastrophe, can be called a hymn of life. Frames glides through moral message, stating that a true man in the most extreme situation is a man. There is in the film place and patriotism, and heroism, and love, which will live as long as the survivors will be at least one person. The authors managed to hook a wide audience not an intriguing plot, and all toldhistory, from the first to the last minute timing.
