"Fire and Sword" is a film of Polish origin. The historical epic consists of four fascinating and very exciting series. The plot is based on the novel of the same name, written by Henryk Sienkiewicz. What this picture is about, who was shot in it and how the shooting went, is described in this article.
Story line
The events unfolding in the film date back to the 17th century. In the center of the plot is a terrible quarrel between pan Chaplinsky and Bogdan Khmelnitsky. The reason for the enmity was that the pan to death ruined the son of Colonel Khmelnitsky. As a result, the colonel calls on the whole Zaporizhzhya Sich together with the Crimean Tatars to attack the army of King Vladislav. The attack is led by Tugan Bey and is crowned with success. In addition to the bloody pictures of the terrible war, the film shows the love story of the chieftain Bohun and the Polish beauty.
Actors "Fire and Sword"
Famous talented and charismatic actors worked in the project. Here is a list of the main character roles:
- Isabella Skorupko - played the role of gentry Elena Kurtsevich. The girl managed to create the image of the heroine even deeper than what was planned by the script.
- Michal Zhebrovsky - he got the role of lieutenant Jan Skshetsky. The actor perfectly conveyed the image of an ideal person.
- Alexander Domogarov - played in the film of the Cossack colonel Yurko Bogun. This character is most loved by the viewer in the image of a worthy person with a difficult fate.
- Bogdan Stupka - formidable Zaporozhye chieftain Bogdan Khmelnitsky, one of the most striking characters.
- Andrzej Severin is a fatal handsome man and true prince Yarema Vishnevetsky.
The actors “Fire and Sword” are also Viktor Zborovsky, Eva Vishnevskaya, Ruslana Pisanka, Marek Kondrat and others. According to the reviews of the audience, the film went off with a bang.
Interesting facts from the shoot
Some interesting features from the movie:
- In the third series, it is clear that Polish infantrymen are fighting with Mosin rifles.
- The final song of the picture was the composition of an unknown Polish-Ukrainian poet called "Gay, Falcons."
- In one of the scenes, the song “Pour in, Brothers” is performed. This is the most striking anachronism of the film, since the composition appeared in 1960, and the film tells about the events of the XVII century.
There are also times when the viewer can replace some inconsistencies in episodes. So, at one point, Skshetusky is wearing a hat, but after a minute she is not there. But these are just minor flaws; the film turned out exciting and informative.
