Once upon a time in Russia fist fights were held. They take place in modern Russia. Only, perhaps, today they have more aggression and cruelty. The participants in these fights are football fans. The actual problem of Russian society is dedicated to the picture of Anton Bormatov, which was released in 2013.
The film is called "Okolofutbola." The actors, characters, plot and story of the creation of the criminal drama are discussed in this article.
Real-life film
How was the script for the crime drama "Okolofutbola" created? Actors met several times before the filming process with prototypes of their heroes. The characters in the script by Dmitry Lemeshev are not fictional characters. Many of them have prototypes in real life. Fights among football fans occur regularly around the world. In Russia, this phenomenon has special features. A lot of books and articles are devoted to this topic, but the first film about this was the picture "Okolofutbola."
Actors, according to reviews, played well, but their heroes lacked realism. Fed football fans are representatives of a special category of modern youth. So, in speech they use vocabulary that has nothing to do with normative. Some dialogues in Bormatov’s film, according to viewers, are somewhat unnatural.
main characters
The film tells about a group of hooligan fans of “Spartacus” called Skullhead Crew, whose leaders are four friends - the main characters of the picture “Okolofutbola”. Actors Alexander Ratnikov, Grigory Ivanets, Pavel Erlykov, Ivan Fominov played the main ringleaders.
The company was picked up motley. Here and DJ Razor, and the entrepreneur Major, and car mechanic Yary, and university teacher Yegor Toloknov, nicknamed Teacher. But they have a common idea, which is only indirectly related to Spartak and sports in general. Hence the name of the film - “Okolofutbola”. Alexander Ratnikov played Tichera - the main character.
Plot
The leader is concerned about one problem: recently, clashes with fans of competing football clubs, the place and time of which only their participants know, end with the unexpected arrival of riot police, after which everyone is taken to police stations. Teacher suspects that a “snitch” has gotten into the company, reporting all the fans' actions to law enforcement agencies.
Fans of Spartak decide to deal with the Caucasians who beat one of the members of the group, but Yegor Toloknov (aka Ticher) opposes this idea. As a result, a quarrel is brewing between him and Major. The plot also has a love line. Yegor once meets with Taisiya (the girl of his friend), passion suddenly flares up between them. And at this time, his group smashes and burns the cafe of Caucasians, who, by the way, have nothing to do with football passions.
An ardent informal leader of Spartak fans is being killed. It is possible to find out that he was eliminated by a police officer working undercover. The police want to blame another "Spartak" - Razor. It turns out that just this guy is the traitor. The police offer him a deal: if he surrenders his comrades, they will let him go. The razor agrees, which ultimately leads to the arrest of all members of the "firm" and the imprisonment of the protagonist.
