"Exemplary male" is an American comedy project. This is one of Ben Stiller's few works as a director. The article will consider the plot of the film "Exemplary male", the actors and the roles they performed.
Plot
Model business is a dangerous thing. This is a place where big money is spinning, expensive things are being created and beautiful people are working. But not everyone knows that all this is the result of child labor. And the new minister of Malaysia, where usually bring the children, is going to cover up the shop. So, the first people in the modeling business are going to end it at the upcoming fashion show. But how?
It was decided that for such a responsible work a person who can approach the victim as close as possible approaches. He should not ask unnecessary questions, immediately take up the task, and then disappear without a trace. Derek Zulender - model number 1, who defended his title three times in a row, now lost to a new rising star, Hansel McDonald. This broke the guy, and he thought about the purpose of his existence. An excellent candidate. So why not make a killer out of it?
The film "Exemplary male": actors and characters
So, it was not necessary to search for a long time. Here he stands on the stage and waits for the fourth time he will be declared the best. Derek Zulender is the protagonist of the film "Exemplary male" (Ben Stiller), not an ordinary model. He's the face of all the billboards, because Derek is the creator of his own fascinating look. The most famous fashion designers want to work with him. In addition, Jacobima Mugatu (Will Ferrell). He did not even notice him, until Zulender lost his lead, giving way to his rival.
Mr. Mugato is an eccentric, outrageous and very narcissistic person. But, at the same time, he is a master of his craft, and honestly deserved a place in the secret society of fashion designers. Despite the nature of his behavior and unusual appearance, he is far from stupid. Therefore, when I received an order to kill the Malaysian minister, I was genuinely surprised that it should not be a professional, but a model. True, he did not argue, but in vain. Perhaps everything would have ended more safely.
Matilda Jeffries (Kristin Taylor) is a journalist specializing in articles about the stars of show business. In particular, she is interested in Derek Zulender, namely his new view - "Magnum", which is still at the development stage. The guys have a kind of friendship and this will play a role in the future. Matilda has been following Mugato for a long time (Will Ferrell), and now there is a reason to start a full investigation.
Hansel MacDonald (Owen Wilson) is a new young and popular model. He is only outwardly different from Zulander, in the head of the guy there are the same cockroaches. They have a conflict on the background of personal dislike. And with Derek everything is clear, he does not like that someone appeared better than him. But with Hansel the situation is more complicated than it seems at first glance. In fact, the model suffers with all my heart. And one day he will tell you about his experiences.
Star Composition
You can say that the director of the picture (Ben Stiller) owns some magic of charm, considering what the actors shot in the film ("Exemplary male"). In addition to the above-named people, Milla Jovovich, Vince Vaughan, John Voight, David Duchovny, Jerry Stiller, Kuebda Gooding, Natalie Portman and others took part in the shootings. And like there is nothing special. Quite serious actors. That's only on the quality of humor, the picture somewhere at the level of "Very Scary Movie" and all the scenes in it are profusely imbued with stupidity. Although a good actor, probably, should equally well play any role.
Moreover, the film "Exemplary male" is full of other famous personalities: Tommy Hilfinger, Lenny Kravets, Gwen Stefani, Fred Durst and even the 45th US president. Of course, they appear only in episodes, so short that they can not be noticed. But the scale is still felt.
And finally
It is worth saying that the picture is clearly an amateur. Forget about the plot, he is insane, like the characters whose actions and behavior are constantly on the verge of idiocy. But this was required of them. So, the actors who shot in the film "Exemplary male" coped well.
Naturally, most of the attention is paid to the life of the protagonist. The turning point when the model decides to devote itself to something that will benefit others. He tries to get close to the family, which he has not seen for a long time and who first turns away from him. And it becomes so vulnerable that it gets under the influence of a gang of fashion designers. Wow, it will pull the whole drama. But no, the way this story is served does not cause a single pity for the character, a maximum of a smile.
