Housewives and senior citizens, schoolgirls and students working and sitting on maternity leave - we all love to watch TV shows. Of course, on the one hand, it is a waste of time. And on the other hand - a window into the "other world", where we forget about our worries and worries and worry about our beloved heroes. What is an "IDB"? Of course, this is the series "Institute of Noble Maidens." Filmed in the best traditions of the domestic television industry, it allows you to plunge into the world of the century before last, when there were no wild traffic jams on the roads, computers and the fast pace of life. When the letters went for weeks, and the young met not on sites, but on balls.
What is the "IDB" for the domestic audience? This is an opportunity to break away from today, to remember that the most important thing is human feelings and relationships. The film "IDB" ("Institute of Noble Maidens") won the love of a multimillion-dollar audience of the Russian audience not only with a twisted plot with eternal passions and the struggle between good and evil. The cast is selected so that we are just pleased to look at these pure girl faces, and in romantic heroes - such as Count Vorontsov - we fall in love with the first episodes. Yes, of course, we are wondering what the “IDB” is - is it just the next series, “chewing gum for the mind” or a work of art. It is difficult to judge the artistic merits of the tape, especially since strong, truly dramatic scenes are not found there so often. However, the musical design, the brilliant work of the costumers, the intricate plot make us follow the screen and wait tensely for the new series.
Fans of historical films remember well , for example, Petersburg Secrets. They cut even deeper into the memory of the film adaptation of the great classic - to take at least “The Idiot” according to Dostoevsky in Bortko’s unsurpassed series. What is the “IBD” against the background of such works? We can say that this series is deeper and juicier than other popular prints on historical topics. The work of the scriptwriters and the excellently selected duet of the main actors - Sofia Gorchakova (performed by Alisa Sapegina) and Vladimir Vorontsov (Alexander Arsentiev) should be attributed to the merits . We plunge into the world of the last quarter of the nineteenth century, into the atmosphere of the Moscow Institute of Noble Maidens. It was a closed educational institution for girls from noble families. However, the pupils are on the verge of adulthood, and everything that happens in the country (the Russo-Turkish war, student unrest, the movement of raznoshintsev) somehow concerns them.
The film, shown in 2010-2011, has a sequel. As it should be according to the laws of the genre, we can follow the further fate of the heroes we love. The series "Secrets of the IDB", however, not only develops the storyline of Sophia - Vorontsov (who became spouses in the first part), but also introduces us to new characters. The next generation of pupils - 18-year-old Elizaveta Vishnevetskaya, Evgenia Menshikova and other girls - find themselves embroiled in no less difficult vicissitudes, become participants in events that change their fates and characters. There is also its own villain - Uncle Lisa - the mysterious Admiral, who is at the head of the criminal world of Moscow, but does not want to limit himself only to wealth. What he achieves, what role the "white general" Skobelev plays in everything, how the imperial family takes part in history, how the construction of the railway is going on - we can learn about all this from the series.
