The film "Trans": reviews, plot, actors and roles

Previously, viewers most often preferred simple films with an easy and understandable plot, but now excessive simplicity and naivety in cinema are more likely to be rejected. People are not interested in watching the development of the plot, which they have already seen somewhere, and this is quite common, because many films are shot according to the template. Such projects do not attract the attention of the audience, because after watching the first 15 minutes, a person can already say how it will end.

Modern world-class directors prefer to make a movie that has a complex and twisted plot, so that the viewer can not tear himself away from the screen for a second, and after watching the movie he has many new impressions. One such director is Briton Danny Boyle. During his long and successful career, he made many interesting films and even received the most prestigious Academy Award in the world in 2009.

Producer

Danny Boyle often uses non-standard techniques in the production of his paintings. The result is a very exciting tape with a lot of sharp plot twists. One of the latest projects of the director is the film “Trans,” reviews of which were mixed, but the project turned out to be quite successful. This was influenced by many factors, and one of the main ones is the plot.

Plot

The plot of the film “Trans” begins to develop at one very prestigious auction, where wealthy people come to buy rare works of art. The cost of lots is estimated at millions of dollars, so it is natural that this attracts the attention of bandits. An organized criminal group is trying to steal the most expensive painting, worth $ 27 million, and the bandits do it, because one of the auction employees is in a share. However, everything is not going as planned.

The employee receives a serious head injury and forgets where he hid the picture. Other participants in the crime try to make him remember, but it turns out to be useless, and they decide to seek help from a hypnosis master.

In a hypnosis session conducted by a girl named Lisa, the protagonist still does not suspect anything. He sincerely believes that he knows where the picture is and wants to find it. However, later it turns out that everything is not at all what it seems. The cycle of events and unexpected memories drags on the heroes, and it is not clear who in this scheme is a real criminal ...

Actors and roles

The film "Trans", reviews of which often contradict each other, in spite of everything, turned out to be very spectacular and interesting, and this is largely due to the actors.

However, it is worth noting that no matter how good James McEvoy was in previous films, “Trans” is one of his most successful films.

James was born in the Scottish city of Glasgow. He grew up in a fairly wealthy family, despite the fact that his parents divorced and spent most of his childhood with his grandparents. Before becoming an actor, James was going to go to the navy, but later left this idea. From childhood he was fond of music and even studied at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, and his sister is now a member of a famous music group.

The film “Trans,” whose actors play well enough, turned out to be successful largely due to the talent of James, who plays a major role.

The character is perfectly revealed thanks to a confident acting.

In the project “Trans” (film, 2013), the actor plays the antagonist of the protagonist, the person who is the organizer of the criminal group. His role is very grim, and one could even say that Vincent plays the villain, which is not familiar to his acting career. Nevertheless, the actor coped with the role very well, creating enough atmospheric character.

Rosario Dawson

American Rosario Dawson is the least known of the three main characters, but she is probably familiar to most moviegoers, as she participated in many high-profile projects from famous directors. Among the most famous films with the participation of the actress, one can distinguish such films as “Seven Lives” (2008), “On the Hook” (2008), “Death Proof” (2007) and “Sin City” (2005).

Reviews and criticism

The film “Trans”, reviews of which are both positive and negative, was not very expensive, but the quality of the tape turned out to be done at the highest level. Danny Boyle's directorial talent contributed to this in many ways, but it is worth noting that the special effects in the film are performed at a decent level, although there are not so many of them.

The film "Trans", the genre of which can be defined as a thriller, catches almost from the first seconds and does not allow you to tear yourself away from the screen for all two hours. To many viewers, the script seemed too complicated, even illogical. In fact, there is some truth in this, because at once some actions of the heroes cannot be explained. However, by the end of the tape everything falls into place, but in order to fully understand the essence of what is happening, you need to look very carefully.

Some plot twists happen so unexpectedly that many viewers don’t even understand what’s happening with the characters. Is it reality or just a dream? It can be really difficult to catch the border, but for the attentive viewer everything quickly becomes clear.

Many people left feedback about the Trans movie that they understood absolutely nothing and they didn’t like the film at all. This happens quite often, as some viewers are simply accustomed to simple comedies and romantic films, therefore they are not ready to perceive something more complex.

If we talk about those who are more open to bold directorial decisions, it is worth noting that such people liked the film. It is really a bit complicated, but if you look carefully, everything will be clear and therefore even more interesting.

Finally

In general, Trans (film 2013) is a very interesting project. It was attended by fairly well-known actors who created charismatic and lively characters. It is definitely recommended for viewing to those who are tired of banality in the cinema and want to spend time on something more interesting. Among all the films that Danny Boyle made, “Trans” occupies a worthy place.
