In the spring of 2015, the premiere of the mini-series âThe Maniac Belyaevâs Familyâ was premiered. Reviews of the film, as well as a number of interesting facts, we will consider further.
Name difficulties
What can hook a movie? Of course, first, viewers pay attention to the name. In this case, it turned out to be intriguing - the story will go not just about the family, but about the maniac ... And although the criminal detective component is the basis of the whole story, this is not the highlight of the series. The plot is built on faith, help and mutual assistance. Many complained that the film should be called âI love - then I believeâ - this is how its essence is reflected more clearly.
Ease of storytelling
What is the movie âManiac Belyaev's Familyâ movie about? At first glance, it would seem that we are offered a simple everyday story, but very quickly the audience realizes that the former calmness will not soon return to the Belyaev family ...
Living in complete harmony, Anna and Cyril are happy in marriage, raising two children. Terrible crimes on the streets of a small town are causing fear to all residents. Vain attempts by the police to find the alleged offender lead to the house ... Belyaev. None of the family can believe that the evidence points to the respectable family man Cyril. Did he really hide the terrible image of a murderer under his guise?
Guilt of the innocent
As soon as the picture was shown on one of the Russian channels, the audience managed to form a common opinion. What seemed to them, âFamily of the maniac Belyaevâ? The reviews of the first watchers spoke of an interesting idea, although screenwriters often use the technique of a âfake accusedâ. It is interesting to see how the destinies of innocent people break (or rather test), no matter how blasphemous it sounds. Especially if the fate of not just one hero, but the whole family is at stake, which adds additional drama.
The movie âManiac Belyaevâs Familyâ looks in one breath. Until the last shots, the scriptwriters managed to withstand the intrigue. The viewer cannot fully understand whether the main character is guilty or whether this is an erroneous opinion about him. Be that as it may, according to the laws of melodrama, the ending will be happy. The right timing was a small timing of the picture - only four series, without undue stretch.
Person or society?
The tension of the plot develops into a passion. At the same time, one cannot but sympathize with the heroes of the film âManiac Belyaevâs Familyâ. The opinions of the audience are unanimous: the picture fully conveyed all the feelings of relatives who learned about the ridiculous accusation of what the protagonist did not commit. Wife and children are the only support of Cyril. They ignored the censure of those around them, some of whom with particular cynicism showed a sense of contempt, although, by and large, they did this not of their own free will, but obeying public opinion. This once again confirms the fact how insolvent we are in following our own thoughts. As statistics show, itâs much easier to agree with what others think. Unfortunately, this is the destructive power of our society and ourselves as its separate personalities.
âThe family of the maniac Belyaevâ: actors
All the leading actors have done an excellent job. Particular attention should be paid to the male character. Alexander Dyachenko has long proved that he can equally successfully embody completely different images. According to critics who rated the film, Cyril is shown exactly the way a person who finds himself in a similar situation is. The father of the family is panicking, he is overcome by a lot of thoughts, it is very difficult at this moment to maintain calm and common sense. The actor perfectly conveyed the necessary emotions, for which he received warm feedback from viewers.
Support is nearby!
No less composure was shown by Ekaterina Rednikova. What was her wifeâs image in the film âManiac Belyaevâs Familyâ? Reviews for the film contain positive ratings for the actress's game. The role of Anna is incredibly complex, at the same time dramatic and feminine. She demanded maximum reincarnation from Catherine, and in some scenes - manifestations of dryness, callousness. Even looking in the face with facts testifying against her husband, Anna did not at all doubt his innocence. Belief in innocence helped to find the true killer. At the same time, the main character managed to contain intra-family conflicts. Watching this story on the screen, the question naturally arises: is it possible for love to overcome all difficulties? Of course! For real feelings, there are no barriers, and a striking example of this is the picture of Stanislav Nazirov âThe Family of the Maniac Belyaevâ.
The actors and roles performed by them are commendable. Moreover, secondary characters are also important in the film, each of which occupies a niche in the plot: Daria Makarova (Natasha Belyaeva), Alexander Nikolsky (Mikhalych), Maxim Makarov (Igor), Alexander Mironov (Fedor), Marina Zaitseva (Katyaâs mother) , Elena Molchenko (Alevtina Yuryevna), etc.
Credibility is the key to success
Despite the criminal overtones, you will not find any cruel scenes of murder and violence if you decide to watch the series âManiac Belyaevâs Familyâ. Feedback from the audience, on the contrary, suggests that the open âwindow dressingâ is replaced by family values, because it is on them that the basis of the relationship of the spouses is built. Only thanks to unity, determination and belief in the best, the Belyaevs can get out of this struggle by the victors. A secondary place is allotted to âconcomitantâ factors: negligence, police arbitrariness, cynicism of those who turned away from the Belyaevs.
Neutral mediocrity
There were those spectators who did not bring out anything new from the picture âThe Family of the Maniac Belyaevâ. Reviews once again called her not the worst film that had to be encountered, and he will undoubtedly remain in memory for a long time. However, there is not something that the audience would not have met: we have before us a finely twisted criminal idea, diluted with a family ideology of support and faith in justice. The plot twists and turns are really intriguing, but the aftertaste from viewing disappears very quickly - so that in the morning you will not remember individual details. This suggests that, for all its positive aspects, this movie is a âpass-through". Yes, the dedication of the main character should be noted, but there are other ways in which loyalty can be expressed. Unfortunately, the authors did not provide the heroes with such an opportunity.
True values
Acting characters deserve more dynamism, which, of course, would otherwise affect the audienceâs perception. The plot is almost not meaningful - the âdamp" script of the film "Maniac Belyaev's Family" is to blame. Actors demonstrated a good game, and above all, Ekaterina Rednikova, who literally âextendedâ the picture. Her image is so natural that many compared Anna with the wife of the Decembrist. Truly, she perceives any trifles of the surrounding reality indifferently, putting in the first place what is important to her - her own husband.
Quality Emotion Guaranteed
The mini-series has collected mainly positive feedback. Particularly attentive viewers could find insignificant annoying moments, without which, unfortunately, the picture âManiac Belyaevâs Familyâ could not do. The reviews are in agreement: only strong emotions and abundant sensory experiences âsaveâ the film. He remains a good example of how important the support of loved ones is. âFamily ...â focuses on how hard (but important) it is to maintain dignity, even when almost the entire city has turned its back on you.
Making a choice
Modern world cinema offers many films that are worth paying attention to. And this is fully proved by Russia. âThe family of the maniac Belyaevâ is a vivid example of combining several genre components. The harmonious interweaving of dramaturgy, crime, and detective story makes watching a movie unforgettable. Do not look for foreign analogues, watch domestic cinema!
Summing up the audienceâs reviews, it is worth highlighting the quality of the format and the vitality of the events taking place on the screen. What did the painting teach? Often, people are hanging labels that are not true. We see the betrayal of those from whom you do not expect this, while, on the contrary, strangers are ready to help.
