In 1992, Mick Jackson's film about the sensual love story of the singer and her bodyguard was released. Over the years, some old films continue to touch the audience to the core. Among the paintings included the film "The Bodyguard." The cast did an excellent job with the director's task - to create a good movie.
Plot
The main character of the picture is the brilliant singer Rachel Merron. She is loved by the public and basks in the rays of her fame. Once Rachel begins to receive strange letters with threats, but she refers to what is happening with a mockery. Friends still convince the singer to hire a bodyguard with serious preparation so that he takes care of the integrity of Marron. Frank Farmer, a former presidential security officer, is being nominated for this position.
Frank treats new responsibilities with full responsibility. He believes that written threats can lead to a real attack. The farmer is trying to control all the actions of his ward, which leads her to indignation. Rachel literally begins to hate the new bodyguard for interfering in her life and restricting her freedom.
However, after some time, the wayward Marron realizes that danger does exist. She relies on Frank in everything to protect him not only her, but also her little son Fletcher. The masculinity of the bodyguard and his sincere care fascinate the singer, and feelings arise between her and Farmer. He accompanies the singer everywhere, and in connection with the increased danger, Rachel takes him to his father's house, located far from the bustle of the city. But will Frank be able to maintain invulnerability and total control over the situation, being in love with his ward?
Whitney Houston as Rachel Marron
The film "The Bodyguard", the actors and roles in which there are different, brought to the fore two main stars: Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. Whitney played in part herself. The image of singer Rachel Merron, talented, radiant and spectacular, fit her perfectly. Filming in the film became for Houston a completely new professional experience, however, she naturally looked in the frame and coped with the role.
Whitney's voice is mesmerizing and stunning with its depth and uniqueness. The songs in her performance, which became the hymn of love of Rachel and Frank, affect all the strings of the soul of the viewer. The tragic death of the singer in 2012 left her fans inconsolable, but this picture, like a flywheel of time, allows you to return to the past and feel the amazing energy of one of the brightest people in the world of music.
Kevin Costner as Frank Farmer
The other actors are also of interest. The bodyguard protecting Marron's life was played by the charismatic Kevin Costner. The bodyguard actors who played the couple in love remember with warmth - Kevin became close to Whitney on the set and even made a touching speech at the pop queen's funeral .
Prior to The Bodyguard, Costner had already starred in the films Dancing with the Wolves, The Untouchables, Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves and others. Frank Farmer performed by Costner turned out to be what it was supposed to be: outwardly cold, serious, but hiding feelings behind professional armor. The actor has repeatedly been included in the lists of the sexiest men on the planet, and he appears in the film in a particularly courageous image that conquered more than one female heart.
Minor Characters and Rewards
Minor actors "Bodyguard" also adorned with a convincing game. For example, the image of Nikki, Rachel's sister, turned out to be very dramatic. She stays in the shadow of a popular relative all her life, never meeting her happiness. This brings her to black and frightening despair, mixed with envy. Distraught Nikki orders the murder of her sister to the killer. However, he mistakenly kills the wrong sister. Nikki, played by actress Michelle Lamar Richards, becomes the fatal victim of her own meanness. The smallest actor of the entire composition, Devon Nixon, who played Rachel's son, despite his young age, did not disappoint the rest.
The American film community appreciated how perfectly the actors and roles coincided and got used to the film "Bodyguard". Russia is also among the countries where the picture has gained the greatest popularity. The melodrama was awarded a Grammy and MTV Movie Award, as well as Oscar nominations. Millions of women around the world consider the picture the standard of a love story in which a man is ready to give everything, even life itself, for his beloved.
