The rating of the militants: from natural massacre to the new classics of the genre

Traditionally, everything is known in comparison, here and in the film industry this common phrase takes on special significance, determining the rating of the film.

The rating of militants is a measure of popularity, evaluation, prioritization and even classification. It is established by the method of interviewing an impressive target group of viewers or more modest - experts.

Options

Since the appearance of the paintings, which are classified as a movie-action movie, and up to the last high-profile prime-minister the most authoritative and well-known publications, prestigious cinema awards try to determine the best film. The matter is that not always loud premieres created by masters of a cinema and awarded by prestigious awards, take in the lead positions in tabloids of popularity and spectator sympathies. Therefore, when the rating of militants is made, many parameters are taken into account: box office fees, the number of film awards, bright events and loud scandals associated with the filming process and, of course, the viewer's appreciation and love. Absolute winners, that is, the best action films are those that are more often than not in the top 9 major world publications, like Time and Movies, Variety, Guardian, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Associated Press, etc.

Absolute winners (veterans)

When ranking militants, among the leaders most often called:

1. "The Beginning" (2010). The inventive idea of Christopher Nolan tells about travel through dreams. Just a brilliant picture of a wonderful world with such a dashing finale that turns the whole story upside down. And the dynamics of the picture provides a masterly selected actor's ensemble, high-class special effects and pompous dramatic music.
2. The Gladiator (2000). Director Ridley Scott presented the audience with a stunning historical film-thriller of unprecedented scope. This is a grandiose epic project, in which everything is not only picturesque, but also insanely brutal.
3. The Matrix (1999). The peculiar new-ageism of the directors of the Wachowski brothers had a tremendous success. The picture is filled with powerful and virtuously executed action scenes, and the episode with the coolest shootout in the office is still considered the standard.
4. "The Dark Knight" (2008). And again, Christopher Nolan shoots a film that becomes the fourth film in the world, earning more than one billion. This is a spectacular and quite realistic movie, not a kinomiks.
5. "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991). The rating of militant veterans would not be complete without this successful and intelligent continuation of the fantastic action movie of the same James Cameron. The film was deservedly awarded four awards "Oscar" and enthusiastically received by the audience.

New classics of the genre of "action"

To some regret, adherents of a well-aimed shot and a good hook to replace the natural massacre come new action pictures-ferocious, reactive, insane and unthinkably beautiful, like an adrenaline jab in the heart. Popular tabloid have blown films of recent years, which promise to become a new classics of the genre of "action." Here is a list of several:

1. The first place is surely balanced by the film "Mad Max: The Road of Fury". This is a real cinematic lightning - a brutal movie and wonderful at the same time. Director Miller was an absolute genius in the choreography of car chases.
2. "The Face of the Future" Daga Lyman is named one of the best projects of the season and an ideal product for the mass audience, suggesting not only inexorable action and dizzying special effects.
3. Sometimes modern blockbusters use templated subjects, run-in and simple tricks, but their creators manage to make them elegant. And grace is not determined by an innovative approach, but by processing even the patterned structure of the film, its variations and the ability to beat situations. Among such paintings: "Rage", "John Wick", "Kingsman: Secret Service", "The First Avenger: Another War", "The Expendables 3", "RoboCop."

We have something to be proud of

Russian paintings of the genre "action movie" - this is a movie that is oriented to the domestic audience and is adjusted exclusively to the Russian mentality. It has the same chases, fights and shootings, but close to our, sometimes sad reality. A distinctive feature of Russian film projects is that directors pay more attention to the plot, the disclosure of the image of the main characters, and not distracting attention to special effects. For the most part, all films refer to the mixed genre of "militant-criminal", only those action-packed tapes, whose plot is connected with the events of the Second World War or peacekeeping operations (Afghanistan, Chechnya, etc.) are separately isolated. Attending films are:

1. Brother (1997). One of the best works of Alexei Balabanov, the significance of which only increases with time. The picture may seem old-fashioned, but only to those movie fans who are used to pseudo-movies that are played in pavilions against the background of a green screen.
2. No less significant are the brutal "Boomer" and "Shadow Fight", "Brigade" (serial, Russian thriller), sensational futuristic thriller "Inhabited Island" by Fyodor Bondarchuk, "Paragraph 78", "9th Company", "War".

What should be the best action movie?

Also do not ignore the technological moment. The best action movie a priori is removed in high technological terms for the quality of shooting, sound and costumes. The narrative style should be classical, without any experimental innovations. History should be simple and accessible to all viewers, regardless of their country of residence, for example, about a man who strives to achieve his goal in every way and in every way.

Increasingly, even in the genre of "action", attention is drawn to a quality and good cinema, in which the relationship between the main characters is brought to the forefront. Actor's play is important in any picture, because all the emotions and feelings that the viewer must feel are transmitted through the facial expressions, gestures and timbre of the actors' voice . A masterpiece is obtained when the director feels and knows how the character should behave in this or that situation and how it should be.
