Paul Fig's comedy The Spy is not the first, but one of the most successful spy movie parodies. The picture can safely boast of many truly objective virtues, from the inexorable action similar to choreography to a brilliant acting ensemble. In the movie “Spy,” the first-rate actors are all as one Hollywood stars of the first magnitude. Moreover, they agreed to act in films not only because of the declared decent fees, they were attracted to the extraordinary script and personality of the director. Paul Fig acts in this project in three ways: director, screenwriter and co-producer. In terms of the number of stars attracted, Fig could only argue with the movie “Spy Kids 3” (actors: Sylvester Stallone, Salma Hayek, Antonio Banderas Danny Trejo, Alan Cumming and others).
Cheeky challenge to society
Paul Fig is known as one of the few creators of the film industry, which allows women to shine in comedies. The director rejects all kinds of political aspects, the confrontation between systems and governments, terrorist organizations - he uses all of the above as a minor entourage in the Spy project. The actors and roles in the film are perfectly matched to each other, and, despite the fact that handsome Jason State and Jude Law are on the poster, they played colorful, but secondary characters. In the foreground, the author’s favorite, Melissa McCarthy, is a film actress, whose texture is least consistent with the generally accepted image of a spy. Perhaps a comedy, given this fact, should be called "Spy", and not "Spy". The actors involved in the work on the project emphasized that the director Paul Fig once again threw a daring challenge to a society that treats full women as invisible. At the same time, the director masterfully ridiculed the canons of espionage films, in which alpha males shine in the foreground.
Plot
The comedy "Spy", the actors and the roles of which are sure to be remembered by the viewer, has a fascinating plot. The story begins with the fact that the handsome super-agent Bradley Fine (Jude Law) destroys the main villain during the mission and seems to die himself, and the treasured suitcase with a nuclear charge is in the hands of the daughter of the defeated enemy Raina Boyanova (Rose Byrne). Another agent, Rick Ford (Jason State), is unable to cope with the task due to an unstable emotional state. Then CIA employee Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy), accustomed to being unnoticed before, gets a chance to become a real combat agent and complete a failed mission. Such is the brief synopsis of the movie "Spy." Actors performing the roles of central characters noted the positive atmosphere that prevailed on the set during the filming process. Fortunately, the entire cast ensemble of the film possessed enviable self-irony and sufficient self-esteem.
Acting ensemble of a picture
The main character of the film, Susan Cooper, was embodied on the screen by one of the most sought-after comedy actresses in Hollywood, Melissa McCarthy. It has recently been considered the key to the success of any film in which it plays. The actress is not afraid to star with either the perfect Sandra Bullock, nor with Bill Murray. McCarthy realizes that for the ladies watching this or that film with her participation, the problems of her heroines will be closer and more understandable than those who care about the exemplary divas of the Dreaming factory with the appearance and texture of Barbie dolls. The actors of the film "Spy" were fascinated by her positive, professionalism and goodwill. The entire crew of the picture was thrilled by how McCarthy in the image of Susan Cooper dealt with the most perfect Bond (Low character) and the hero of Jason Stateem. The latter, incidentally, showed brilliant comic talent.
Pop and movie stars
In addition to the listed stars in the movie, Rose Byrne is present as an antagonist, Allison Jenny as the head of the CIA and Miranda Hart, periodically competing with Cooper in the ability to get into ridiculous situations. Also an interesting hero was played by rapper 50 Cent in the comedy “Spy”. The actors of the Dreaming factory were shocked by the appearance in the frame of our Verka Serduchka, performing the unsinkable Dancing Lasha Tumbai. Many domestic film critics saw in the appearance of Andrei Danilko a hidden author's hint that a proven way for a man to survive in show business is to pretend to be a woman.
