The film "Walk": reviews. Actors of the film "Walk"

At the end of September, the world saw the long-awaited premiere of Robert Zemeckis, who had fallen into oblivion at the time of the cult director. And now he's back, and how! In our today's publication, we'll talk about a new masterpiece of the master of dramatic turns - the film "The Walk" (2015). Comments of the Russian viewer will also be submitted to the reader's court.

On real events

The film industry has long ceased to amaze with original stories. The best films are put on famous bestsellers or based on real events. Here and in this case Zemeckis took as a basis a win-win option, telling about the courage of the brave French rope-walker who for a long time cherished a seemingly unrealizable dream: to walk without insurance between twin towers.

The real story of the brave rope-walker Philippe Petit relates us in the mid-70s. The Frenchman's love for the twin towers is so fascinating that the spectators cease to remember the tragic fate of the monumental structures, completely immersing themselves in the atmosphere of what is happening. If you have not been able to watch the movie "Walk", feedback on the picture will push you to action.

A simple storyline that can hold you in suspense

It would seem that it may be more boring than watching for a few minutes how a brave hero tries to move from building to building without insurance at an altitude of several hundred meters? It could be boring if Robert Zemeckis did not take the case. He managed to combine the incompatible, diluted the dramatic denouement with scenes from the hero's past life, made maximum use of technical effects. As a result, we received the most anticipated premiere from the world of cinema - "Walk" (2015). The reviews of those who have already watched the film are full of epithets in excellent tones. Spectators share emotions and do not understand how it is possible to experience horror and fear together with the protagonist, knowing that this is just a film? But if the picture was successful, it means a big victory for the whole crew.

Panoramic views of New York City

Separate words are deserved by the operators and editors of the picture. According to the idea of the author, computer graphics had to completely recreate New York beauty 40 years ago. If the film crew saved on the budget of the film, it would be unlikely that it could do the impossible, and the world with a sinking heart would not see a realistic reconstruction of the city panorama. However, visual effects are something else. They are composed of subtle cinematographic techniques and do not depend on financial investments.

In the film "Walking" (reviews about the picture you can see in the article), two important moments were connected. If expensive computer graphics perfectly recreate the atmosphere and panorama of the city, then the final scene is the apogee and a true visual miracle. According to viewers, the climax scene is nothing more than the magic of cinema in the classical sense.

"Walk" (film): actors, composition

Of course, the film could not become a real revelation without a skillfully selected cast. Originally, the role of Philippe Petit Robert Zemeckis was considered only by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In fact, the alternative to the actor, who has several good roles behind him, was not. Joseph masterfully coped with the hardest task: with the help of a close-up plan to reflect the entire drama of what is happening. In addition, the actor speaks fluent French. But in order to play a real Frenchman, he had only to tighten the French pronunciation.

Warm words deserve the impeccable and irresistible Ben Kingsley. If an actor's group is not numerous or selected mainly from promising young talents, then the film, like air, needs at least one venerable performer. The presence of an Oscar-winning actor on the screen adds even more importance to the picture.

Today we are talking about the new creation of Robert Zemeckis - the film "Walk". We will provide feedback on the actor's work below. In the meantime, let's talk about the only, in fact, a female role, which was performed by Sharotte Le Bon. Now the career of this Canadian actress, who has French roots, goes up the hill. American filmmakers do not need to look for young beauties in France, if the script for the film requires you to play the role of a charming Frenchwoman. After all, they always have Charlotte Le Bon.

Reviews about the film "Walk" can give the picture the highest score. This became possible, thanks to the creative genius - the director Robert Zemeckis and the cast, led by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley and Charlotte Le Bon. Also in the film involved Ben Schwartz, Steve Valentine, Mark Camacho and others.

How to unleash the characters of the characters

For Joseph Gordon-Levitt long established the role of a young and daring, a kind of eternal youth. Years go by, and the actor does not change. The viewer believes him, because Joseph was not only able to reflect the character of the protagonist, he got used to the image and completely transferred the inner world of Philip Petit. Behind the emotions of the protagonist, we will not see the painstaking work done. It seems that Gordon-Levitt himself sympathizes with his hero, perhaps somewhere he feels an inner similarity. That is why, despite the dramatic nature of the unfolding action, everything turned out somehow easily and at ease.

How does the viewer see Philippe Petit's mentor? It's exactly the kind of character Ben Kingsley showed on screen. He is demanding, sometimes restrained, sometimes overly rigid, but not at all devoid of prudence and generosity.

Today we are talking about Robert Zemeckis's "Walk". The film, actors, director's work has already received rave reviews from viewers and somewhat more restrained reviews from critics. It should be noted that the audience's expectations were fully justified.

The director succeeded in the main thing: in a casual manner to reflect the true French character, the spirit of rebellion, charm, easy self-irony, fervor and maximalism. Who, if not a Frenchman, could have ventured into such a daring and desperate act? Two periods reflected in the film, divided as if on two poles. Each of them carries its own charm. These periods are so different, but so perfectly complement each other. Undoubtedly, this film is worth watching.

main idea

What is the main idea of the film? An ordinary person is always inspired to accomplish the actions of ordinary people. The viewer is much more interested in following the story in which the narrative is being written on behalf of the person who managed to overcome fear, and not from a superhero with superpowers. The viewer, who follows the superhero, just relaxes and has fun, watching the mind-boggling action, stuffed with high-budget special effects.

The spectator, who follows the torment of the common man, sympathizing with the told story, is ready not only to shed tears, but also to be spiritually purified. Any person will take for himself the main idea: if he could, then I can.

Of course, after watching the film "Walk" (reviews of the tape we presented in this publication), no one rushes to repeat the feat of the Frenchman. Every person has his own dream. Each of us after viewing the picture will necessarily begin to adjust to the correct wave. In addition, this pretentious and audacious drama conceals a deeper philosophical overtones. Now every person who watched the movie "Walk" (the reviews we provided in the materials of this publication), I am sure that you can challenge not only the circumstances, but yourself.

City and thousands of worried views

In this film there is everything: a crowd of onlookers sympathetic and experiencing the protagonist, a delightful New York landscape, breathtaking, strong male friendship, a romantic love story, a bit of humor and Robert Zemeckis alone, driven by cinematic tricks. As we have already said, the apogee of the film was a rather lengthy final scene, where thousands of worried glances appeared in support of the protagonist. Without them, it would not be possible to convey the dramatic atmosphere of the "Walk" tape. Reviews of the film fully reflect the atmosphere of real events. The viewer at the cinema is also frightened and excited, like simple onlookers in the New York quarter of 40 years ago.

It is an ideal remedy against all human phobias. From the very first shots strikes uncompromising and self-confidence brave rope-walker. Despite the fact that he did not perform heroism to save the lives of others, everyone around him admires him. It seems that there are no flaws in the film, even from a purely technical point of view, because Philippe Petit himself acted as a consultant.

Musical accompaniment

Separate words deserve and musical accompaniment. Composer Alan Silvestri is the permanent partner of Zemeckis. All the most culminating and grandiose moments are even more emphasized with the help of music. It can be safely summarized that each of the participants of the project contributed, its invaluable contribution to the movie masterpiece called "Walk". Reviews of the film provide an opportunity to fully appreciate the work of each participant in the film crew.

Conclusion

For some people, a feat is a parachute jump, for others it's a feat - when you challenge your own phobia and get into the cabin of an airplane. And for others, a desperate act could be a river cruise on the boat "Maria Ermolova". "Walk" (reviews about the film can be read in the materials of our publication) carries a powerful semantic load: one can not treat life as an easy and easy river voyage. Every person should have a goal. And the protagonist, who defied destiny, not afraid to realize his dream against everything, is worthy of this respect.
