From childhood accustomed to hard physical labor, future famous athlete worked from an early age. He was a longshoreman in the port of Feodosia, when I first visited the circus and saw the famous wrestlers. With great strength the young man decided to volunteer to fight. He was able to win only against the sashes, losing at the end of this giant Peter Jankowski. Future athlete is always hard to bear defeat. He realized that the power of professionals to win need tactics and self-discipline. From this point Poddubny decided to link their future life with sport and become a fighter.

He began to perform in the circus Truzzi and quickly gained popularity. After escaping with her lover Emilia wrestler left in Kiev. And then his life is an important event – he receives an invitation to become the representative of Russia in international competition for the title of world champion. It turned out, his progress has long watched and was chosen as the best candidate. Thus began the rise to world fame of Russian athlete Ivan Poddubny.

The Tragedy of Russian heroes

Possessing incredible physical strength, the great Russian athlete spoke up to 70 years of age. The last output on the carpet was held in 1941. After the war he lived in abject poverty and starving. The mighty organism Poddubny had much more food than an ordinary person. The card system could not feed the fighter. He died in 1949 from a heart attack. If not for the severe conditions of the last years of his life, would have lived a famous wrestler a lot more. His family was famous for good health and stamina, and he, like his grandfather, could live up to 120 years.

The Plot

The Film «Poddubnyi», which reviews are varied-from enthusiastic to extremely negative and it tells the story of the famous Russian athlete. Apply to this quite common method – is the story of the trip is already a world famous athlete in America, and parallel to it show the viewer how to begin the path to professional wrestlers young Poddubny.

Not without some distortion of the facts. In the first place is touched on the love line. Really fell in love Poddubny more often than shown in the picture and gymnast Masha was not his first love. But the fact that it meant a lot to him, and her death greatly influenced the athlete – is true.

Michael Porechenkov: I had to go to the actor for the role

The resemblance of the actor with the character is very important to the viewer. It's easier for him to take in the atmosphere of the picture, to believe what is happening on the screen. If the main character – face a historical choice of the actor becomes even more important. It is not always possible to achieve absolute similarities, but it happens that the actor and the character he plays, is strikingly similar. It happened with Michael Porechenkova. If you compare the parameters of the actor and famous wrestler, they will be almost identical. The growth of cities – 184 cm, Mikhail – 182.

Weight wrestler walked around the actor – 118 vs 93 pounds. And so it happened that Porechenkov in the role of Poddubny was more than convincing. And the problem with weight is solved with a special diet. Yes, to gain weight is as difficult as to throw off those extra pounds, for this too is a special diet.

Jugglingweight

To participate in the film, the actor gained 25 pounds. Coach Nikolay Danilov-Nitusov strictly followed the diet Porechenkov and helped him during the recruitment and eviction of weight. The fact that Michael played Poddubny in youth and in adulthood. So you had several times during shooting to change the mass of the body – from 108 to 118 pounds.

But just to gain weight, it is not enough. The actor trained hard 4 times a week, performing strength exercises for muscle gain.

We Must pay tribute to actor – such experiments with weight dare not every actor. I had a similar experience at the time, Renee Zellweger, which is to participate in the film “Bridget Jones Diary" has twice gained a lot of weight. Tom Hanks for picture “Rogue” first, gained 20 pounds, and then dropped 25. Jared Leto got fat on 30 pounds to play the movie "Chapter 27".

The Film «Poddubnyi» has become another successful work of Mikhail Porechenkov. Although, as noted by the actor, this role was the toughest for him because of the grueling workouts, diet and heavy loads on the set. Porechenkov had to carry a copy of the cane athlete that weighed 16 pounds, and fight in the ring, professional wrestlers. After one shot of the scene, he found cracks in two ribs. He is thankful to the Director, he was entrusted with such an iconic actor for the role, but more to experiment with your body will not. 45-year-old Porechenkov understands that to go again on such a feat.

Were you Able to get used Porechenkova in the role: the opinion of the audience

Even those who disapprove of the picture, noted the excellent work of the actor. Especially all struck by the resemblance to Michael Poddubny. The audience liked it and how expertly it was discovered the nature of the great athlete. I must say that before shooting the film «Poddubnyi», reviews of which are contradictory, Porechenkov knew almost nothing about the famous wrestler. After studying his biography, the actor began to sincerely admire Poddubny. He believes that he was a fighter not only in the ring but also in life.

The Role of Poddubny's like waiting for the actor. The screenplay, written back in 2000, Porechenkov was reading a few years before the start of filming of the picture, and he liked it. But the film had not then begun. Gleb Orlov set to work on the painting, seen in the role of Poddubny only Michael, but the producers persuaded him to watch other actors. But nobody could outshine Porechenkov, which was eventually approved in the title role. As the Director says, the actor was perfect for several reasons: the texture, the sheer talent and ability to keep audience.

Interesting facts about the film

There are paintings with a difficult fate. These include tape «Poddubnyi». It is largely controversial, but even avid critics find words of encouragement to the Porechenkova and cameraman, who was able to make the actor present the giant and showed the amazing beauty of the scenery.

The Script was written in 2000, but only 12 years later, Director Gleb Orlov was able to start working on it.

The Shooting took place not only in Russia and Ukraine, as well as in France, USA and Bulgaria. The creators of the history of the great Russian wrestler visited all significant in his life space. National Museum of folk architecture “pie” turned to filming in his native village of the athlete.

Film «Poddubnyi» 2014: feedback from the audience and the critics

The Picture did not leave indifferent, perhaps, no one of the audience. It was heavily advertised, and therefore the number of people willing to look at the history of the famous Russian athlete and fighter was a lot. Her much praised, wrote a positive review. Someone admired the work Porechenkov, someone on the soul came the Patriotic nature of the film. Was dissatisfied with the film «Poddubnyi». Reviews from critics, too, were divided. Some believe that the Director managed to create a solid, deep picture of the inner nerve, which is worthy of attention and love of viewers. Others have a very different opinion. Film critic Anton Dolin called the film a vivid example of a “broadside" movie, designed for the educated public.

Is it Worth it to see the new work of Mikhail Porechenkov?

The Answer to this question can only be positive. Rarely on the domestic screen appear in such films as «Poddubnyi». The responses, from enthusiastic to skeptical, saying that he could find a response among the audience. The painting was among the ten best films of domestic distribution 2014 and gathered about 184 million rubles. And the viewer, as you know, vote with their money.

As for Mikhail Porechenkov, he went, like his hero, VA-Bank, having decided on a complex and difficult role, and won. Vasily Livanov is forever associated for the viewer with Sherlock Holmes, and the great Russian hero Ivan Poddubny Russian actor Mikhail Porechenkov will now become synonyms. Anyway the picture I must give credit at least for the fact that audiences remembered (and some learned for the first time) about the great Russian athlete, 40 years of victoriously speaking at the event in 14 countries.
