A cult thriller "On the crest of a wave": actors who conveyed the whole gamut of human emotions. Comparison with the 2015 remake

In 1991, a film appeared on wide screens, becoming a landmark for actors and cult for the audience. Director Kathryn Bigelow was presented with a thriller, the storyline of which to many critics seemed very weak, and the film did not foreshadow tremendous success.

Cult Ribbon

However, the tape "On the crest of the wave," the actors and roles for which Catherine carefully selected, took her place in the top of the highest-grossing films of the world thanks to the special atmosphere and the stunning play of K. Reeves and P. Swayze.

It was not just an action movie with a set of stunt tricks. The two main characters, opposing each other, created a psychological drama in the center of which their relations were based.

Content of the film

Working in the FBI Johnny Utah - a young man with a good athletic training. He is being introduced into a gang of robbing banks for more than three years of surfer surfers to organize their capture. He meets Bodhi, the leader of a criminal group with his philosophy of life.

At some point Reeves's hero loses touch with reality, confusing the law with its absence. There comes the very moment after which the fate of the character changes radically. He reveals the crime, but realizes that life will never be the same.

This is the summary of the tape "On the crest of the wave." Actors, photos of which appeared in all magazines, acquired not only great popularity, but also the status of sex symbols of Hollywood and the most coveted men.

Complex tricks

Patrick Swayze, who played Bodhi, said that his insurance company did not give permission for shooting, fearing for his life. He studied surfing, painfully landing on coral reefs, and even said goodbye to life, getting on giant waves.

He echoed Keanu, laughingly recalling how he received a heavy board on the head on the first day of training extreme sports for a role in the action movie "On the crest of the wave." The actors did not themselves perform all the tricks, the most complex elements fell to the share of their backups. "When you see how I fall from the board - know that it's just me. This was my best job, "Reeves laughed.

Remake of the popular action movie

In 2008, it was decided to repeat the box-office success of the cult film, and the sponsoring company redeems all rights to the future picture. However, only in five years the project was launched, and at the helm stood Erickson Kor, who worked as an operator of the no less famous thriller "Fast and the Furious". The spectator became interested in the statement that this will be the first film put in the world of professional extreme sports.

Keanu Riaves immediately cut off all the assumptions about his role in the tape: "I do not want to participate in this. But if they find a way to film the sequel well, God bless them. " And he added that still some paintings should not have any remakes.

New heroes

The main actors of the film "On the crest of a wave" (2015) - E. Ramirez and L. Bracey - conveyed the feelings of two people, becoming closer each day, but their fates are clearly diverging along different roads.

The director made a new movie, making real surfers from surfers who are subject to all extreme sports. The actors lived in tent camps and visited 11 countries.

Bet on spectacular stunts

It was shot a lot of dangerous scenes at a high level, which is not dreamed of the original source. Rigorously responding to the tape, critics wrote that on the excellent game of Reeves and Swayze, the first part "On the crest of the wave" is held. The actors of the continuation take exciting risky tricks.

However, the spectacle of the film played a bad role, revealing the emptiness of the content and the lack of sincerity that ensured the incredible success of Catherine's tape.

Kour made an emphasis on the boundless extreme and bright picture, forgetting to draw characters of the characters "On the crest of the wave." Actors and their game caused a lot of controversy, not only among critics, but also ordinary viewers.

Unconvincing game

Luke Bracey as an agent of Utah looks unconvincing. He does not have a sports figure and does not look like an adrenaline fan. But the negative hero caused much more emotion and audience love.

Edgar Ramirez knew by heart the insurgent with the participation of Reeves and Swayze and always dreamed of acting in something similar. When he was offered the role of Bodhi, the actor was just happy. He understood the character of a stubborn rebel who risked his life.

Sincerity or tricks?

The declared budget of $ 100 million of a new militant "On the crest of a wave", the actors of which coped well with the tricks, quite justifies itself. Many scenes were shot without the use of computer graphics, and fans of thrill this tape will like.

But in comparison with the deep picture Bigelow, not trying to make their characters better than they really are, the remake loses. Even 25 years later, the tape about sincere relations looks in one breath, but whether the viewer wants to return to the continuation of the history of the agent of Utah in the same time will show only time.
