The exciting film "Inkheart" based on the book of the same name by the German writer Cornelia Funke after watching remains in the heart forever. This beautiful touching story with a very deep meaning is a must-see for everyone. What is this movie about?
About the film
The film "Inkheart", whose actors are all stars of foreign cinema, was released at the end of 2008. Russian-speaking viewers were able to watch this movie in high-quality voice acting only in 2009.
The main character has a very unusual profession for our days: he is a book doctor, Mortimer. His talent is aimed at qualitatively gluing wounded books. Mortimer has a little daughter, Maggie, she is 12 years old, but since birth she has loved books as much as her father. They have one feature when they read aloud - the heroes from the pages go into the real world, that is, come to life. And there seems to be nothing wrong with the fact that the heroes of fairy tales and epics will be able to travel the real world. But there is one “but” - a real person should fall into the place of this hero. Here is such an exchange.
Once Mortimer revives from the book "Inkheart" a group of robbers, and in his place falls his wife Reza. And disappears in the book without a trace.
Many terrible and dangerous adventures await the heroes to save Reza in the movie "Inkheart." The film, whose actors were afraid to read the script, is definitely saturated with mysticism and magic. From here it is called the best family adventure film.
Brendan James Fraser
Brendan Fraser was not accidentally hit the movie "Inkheart." The actors who tried to take his place left with nothing, because this is definitely “his role”. His mysterious face, mysterious appearance and acting talent fit perfectly into this film.
Let's talk a little about the actor who played the main role - Mortimer. Brendan began acting in films in 1991. In the beginning, he did not get along very well in his career. He was given minor roles in comedy films. The first fame brought him the film "George from the Jungle", which became the best parody of Tarzan. After that, he was invited to the role of Richard in the film "The Mummy." Then he proved that he can play dramatic roles by playing in the film “Gods and Monsters”. There are 52 films in his career.
Eliza Hope Bennett
Little Eliza dreamed of getting into the movie Inkheart. The actors who starred with her say that it is better than her that hardly anyone could play the role of Maggie. And all because it was the girl’s favorite book.
Bennett from an early age began to play in performances. First at the local school, and then at the theater. Her first role was in the film "The Prince and Me." In this masterpiece, she played Princess Arabella. After it can be seen in the TV series "Supernova." And in 2005, she became famous for her role in the film "My Terrible Nanny."
Now the actress has already starred in 23 films and attends the Academy of Theater Arts. And in 2007, the actress was nominated, along with other colleagues, for the award "Best Youth Ensemble in a Feature Film".
Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren played the role of Elinor Loredan (aunts) in the movie Inkheart. The actors were matched unmatched, and Helen is proof of that. This talented actress, who played many diverse roles, in this film received an episodic, but very memorable role.
Helen was recognized as the “sex symbol for the intellectual,” because her first movie roles were in classic films, where she appeared naked. The world met Mirren in roles in the films Caligula, Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Space Odyssey 2010, and others. Helen played the role of Queen Elizabeth I, and soon Queen Elizabeth II. For the last she received an Oscar and the prize of the Venetian Film Festival. In her life there were many more awards for 118 roles in films and TV shows and for a huge many roles in the theater.
In addition, Helen works with Peter Brooke, they travel to third world countries and speak to natives and fruit pickers.
As you can see, in the movie "Inkheart" the actors and the roles they played are ideally combined. And many fans of the Funke book series did not even imagine that this character could be played so accurately.
The differences between the film and the book
A movie is always a little different from a book, and if you want to compare it with a movie, before you watch it, read these little facts. Be careful, it contains "spoilers":
- In the book, Sazheruk came to Mo's house, and in the film their meeting was in the city where Mo was looking for a book.
- In the film, Mortimer is looking for Inkheart in all bookstores, and Mo has already had the book in print.
- In the film, Maggie and her father hear book voices; this is not the case in the book.
- Sazheruk makes a performance for little Maggie, but he was not shown in the film.
- Sazeruk in the film creates fire on his own, but in the book he only controls it.
- The monsters that Darius unexpectedly “reads” in the film do not exist in the book.
- In the film, the whole family escapes from a hurricane from The Wizard of Oz, but this was not in the book.
- Maggie in the film learned about abilities much earlier.
A unique and interesting picture that will not leave anyone indifferent, and that's all - the movie "Inkheart." The film, actors and roles, continued in the book version - all this is so wonderful and professional that I do not want to part with it.
