Фільм "Обдурений" ("The Beguiled"), 2017р. Враження 🎞@occupy-mars1668d
🎞 Фільм "Обдурений" ("The Beguiled") - це американська драма 2017-го року із Ніколь Кідман та Коліном Фарреллом у головних ролях. Також у ролях: Ель Феннінг, Кірстен Данст, Ангурі Райс та інші.
💬 Доволі примітивний фільм, але з більш-менш інтригуючим сюжетом. Я тут не знайшла ніяких цінних підтекстів, навіть вбачила негативний посил до жіночої половини людства 😄 Але, можливо, мені просто здалось.
Час Громадянської війни в США. Дівчинка знаходить у лісі пораненого. Вона допомагає йому і приводить до свого дому - жіночого пансіонату. Там з нею живуть ще 6 дівчат різного віку, серед яких і головна хазяйка. Вони переховують пораненого і допомагають йому полікувати рану. Потім, коли він стане на ноги, він має піти. Але кожна дівчина починає якимось чином проявляти інтерес до нового гостя, хоч він поводиться дуже культурно і стримано. То одна забіжить до нього поговорити, то інша. І ніби вже мають випровадити чоловіка, бо скоро він нормально зможе ходити, але з іншого боку ніхто не хоче, щоб він ішов. Та тут серед дівчат з'являється невидиме суперництво, і коли одна з них застала вночі іншу, яка цілувалася з новим мешканцем, вона скинула того зі сходів, приревнувавши. Він отримав важкий перелом ноги... Що ж було далі? Я не можу розповісти, бо це буде найцікавіша частина. Тому, якщо вам буде цікаво, подивіться вже самі.
Трейлер (англійською):
Фільм не насичений багатьма подіями, він короткий і малодинамічний. Але основна ідея зрозуміла і цікава. Хтось описує сюжет так, що темний диявол прийшов у дім світловолосих янголів. До речі, Ніколь Кідман тут грає свою типову роль, яка нібито і є її візитівкою, як у фільмі "Інші". В деяких перекладах назва звучить як "Фатальна спокуса". Отже, якщо маєте час і не шукаєте чогось супер-шедеврального, можете глянути.
In 1966 the writer Thomas P. Cullinan published the novel originally titled A Painted Devil, from which later the director Don Siegel was based to film The Beguiled, starring Clint Eastwood, and released in the year 1971. 46 years later, in 2017, Sofia Coppola, daughter of the director Francis Ford Coppola, decided to show her vision of the same story by making an adoption titled in the same way, The Beguiled. Today I will talk about it.
Year: 2017
Category: Drama.
Director: Sofia Coppola.
Cast: Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning, Angourie Rice, Oona Laurence, Emma Howard, Addison Riecke.
Plot
During the Civil War, in Virginia, a group of women belonging to a girls school decided to give refuge and help a soldier of the Union Army for moral reasons, however, the feelings of some of them complicate the already difficult situation.
Opinion
The film is set in Virginia, during the year 1864, in the middle of the Civil War and tells us how Amy, a pupil of a girls school, is in the forest collecting mushrooms when suddenly she runs into John Mcburney, a corporal in the Union Army, who is in very bad condition because his leg is injured, so she decides to take him to the school, where the only ones present are Martha Farnsworth, who runs the place, a single teacher, Edwina Morrow, and four other pupils, Alicia, Jane, Emily and Marie. There, all of them decide to make the decision to save John's life, because although they see in him a possible threat, since he belongs to the opposing side of the war, they also consider that his Christian duty is not to let him die.
The arrival of John at school generates a change in the attitude of each of the women, including the youngest ones. They all want to get John's attention to themselves, provoking among the three main women a struggle of subtle hints that are becoming more evident, one of them is Mrs. Farnsworth, who has an advantage in directing the place and being able to give orders to all, on the other hand, there is the teacher Edwina responsible for supervising the girls, and finally, Alicia, the oldest of the young pupils. John will try to take advantage of the situation to win the sympathy of all of them and thus try to stay sheltered in school while the war ends, however, a decision made by him causes a turn of events.
The film is quite slow, something that can be intuited from the first moment, and that is sentenced in the long final shot. The film has a duration of only an hour and a half, however, it is perceived much longer, because the conflict of the film is made to wait until the last 30 or 25 minutes, where later everything becomes more hurried and the rhythm of the events change precipitously.
The images that we see on the screen are well taken care of, in that aspect there is little to claim, and the lighting is carried out naturally, the costumes are also very well done, so if you have to find a problem in the movie, in none of these aspects will we find it.
If there is a problem to be found, I would see it mainly in the performances, I cannot clearly define the reason for my disagreement, but I am not satisfied with the performances of the main characters, perhaps with the exception of Elle Fanning, who also does not stand out, but which makes it better, according to my perception, than experts like Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, who for some reason have not convinced me at all, especially, Dunst, whose character seems completely incongruous to me and who does not I could understand.
Another flaw, as I said, I find it in the direction, delay the turn of the plot to the end, making the viewer see nothing new for an hour, but repeating the same thing over and over again. However, and despite its shortcomings, something that I liked about the movie is that the story unfolds quite realistically.

Score
5/10
The film is slow, does not present the best performances of the actors that compose it, and I could not say that it is the best work of the director, I was left with the feeling that an excellent cast and the opportunity to do something more risky was missed.
Instead of the monstrous form of the monster, A Quiet Place chose to emphasize the action and impact of its action. The glorious figure who preyed on the victims, front-page pieces of the newspaper that included the diverse unity of the faithful all over the world, until the realization that sound is the way the monster detects the victim. This is the way the director and screenwriter (with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck) and the lead actor, John Krasinski, implements the inspiration he gets from Steven Spielberg's Jaws (1975), Even similar horror pioneer term "summer blockbuster" is, A Quiet Place opens the duration through a tragedy. Without further ado, without the exposition of the background, the story is directly brought to day 89 post-invasion of a mysterious monster. The day that the couple Lee (John Krasinski) and Evelyn (Emily Blunt) and their two sons, Regan (Millicent Simmonds) and Marcus (Noah Jupe) realize how terrifying the monster is not kidding. The awareness that the film is hoping to help the audience can. Then the path jumps to day 472 and they still live the day hiding.
I'm often disturbed when a horror movie shows its character hiding from the pursuit of a monster or a killer (usually in a closed place like a closet) but with a clear-sounding hunting breath. A Quiet Place eliminates similar disruptions because the small chafing sound of the medicine box with the cabinet alone gives "yellow light" to the character. Walk barefoot, communicate using sign language, essentially they must live a daily life that is not only dangerous, also tiring. They can only surrender considering the weakness of unknown monster, Later the weakness will be revealed, which unfortunately it creates a hole in the script. How could the weakness be ignored when the ability of the monster to detect through a voice can be revealed? Though the script appears solid in describing the details of the lives of the survivors, especially the way they block the creation of sound. The cloth as a substitute for a plate, a towel as a base to block the water droplets of the sink, the little things that are often overlooked, is here taken care of. Wait until you see how Lee outsmarts the crying sound of the baby.
Lee is a cunning guy, so does John Krasinski as a director. He is good at creating hits through jump scare, which must be done over and over, never failing to give a shock effect. I also admire the development of its intensity, including the use of false alarm shaped a nail that always provokes anxiety every camera focuses on it. Although the distance between terror is sometimes too tenuous, the tension is instantly restored thanks to precision plus creativity in both the script and the directing. A Quiet Place insists that drowning in silos is more terrible than in water, A Quiet Place also raises parallel with the challenge of parenting. Get a defiant child as you approach your teens, having to share the same affection with each child, protecting them while questioning "how much do you want to sacrifice for a child?". Krasinski with his bushy beard fits in the post-apocalyptic world as a tactical, clever, trained, yet tired man. Loving but confused how to say it. The wife, (in the real world and the movie), Blunt, convinces as usual, whether it's about expressing the pain, the fear, the tenderness of a mother's love.
RATING (5/10)
