This summer, on Channel One, a new series was shown, in which one of the main characters was faced with a very difficult choice: either to take revenge on his family, which he had been thinking about for many years in a row, or to let go of this pain and choose a relationship with his girlfriend. Reviews of the movie "Queen of the Game", namely this picture will be discussed in the article, appeared immediately after the release of the first series. The opinions of people were different, but they were similar in one: the acting was excellent. What kind of series it is, what it is about and what the audience is talking about - read in this article.
Story line. Long start
Many years ago, two bosom friends lived - Pavel and Nikolai. They maintained a warm relationship since childhood, being fully confident that their friendship was forever. Having opened a more than successful business, they became managers of a wonderful hotel. The actors who were approved for these roles are Alexei Longin and Mikhail Polosukhin. They managed to show the relationship of already adult friends. Moreover, the actors very openly played both strong friendships and stupid quarrels, which led to such a tragic situation.
And then one day Nikolai comes to the conclusion that two co-owners for a common business is too much. Therefore, he wants to remain in splendid isolation. Having allowed some fraud to happen, Nikolai simply “drowns” his friend, becoming the head of their common long-term business. Naturally, their friendship comes to an end. Pavel, without thinking about his family, leaves this mortal world. Reviews of the movie “The Queen of the Game”, whose actors played their roles flawlessly, indicate that viewers are literally immersed in this story, at times sincerely believing that everything is happening for real.
Remembering the past ...
Two friends were lucky to lead the hotel back in the nineties. The time was difficult, but they succeeded. Paul has always been a simple, kind person. He had a wife and sons. Nikolai is tougher both in working matters and in personal relations. He also has a wife - Galina, who at the time of the development of history was in an interesting position. She sincerely loved her husband and could not think that he had a relationship with Vera, the wife of Paul.
Galya passed away after the birth of their daughter Kolya. After this, Nikolai constantly urged Vera to leave her husband and start a family with him. She refused, leading to the revenge of the rejected lover. It is for this reason that he very diligently contributes to the ruin of his best friend and tells him about the relationship with his wife. Naturally, this news strongly crippled Paul, because everything that he aspired to, what he believed in, lost its meaning. Therefore, he simply committed suicide.
Good start and weird end
Reviews of the movie "Queen of the Game" suggest that the audience likes the series, but this usually does not come right away. The first series is more dynamic, the rest are tightened. Many believe that everything could be placed in the series of fifteen to sixteen. Nevertheless, the eye cannot be taken away from the screen. At the very beginning some kind of intrigue appears, which makes us want to look further to understand what is happening, why and how it will end.
How did the movie “Queen of the Game” end? The reviews indicate that everyone really expected what would happen in the final. But he somehow disappointed. It ended deplorably and incomprehensibly. Therefore, some viewers writing their review ask: was it worth it to watch the last series or did you have to leave some moment of uncertainty and think out the ending yourself?
Briefly about the actors
Reviews about the movie “The Queen of the Game are impossible without mentioning the actors approved for the main roles in it. Some viewers know a little more, others a little less. But they all played equally high quality. So, Vera Semenovna is the heroine who is in the center of the plot. It was because of her that all the events began. True, over the years it has changed a lot. Once she had an affair with her husband’s best friend, but now he is for her an enemy, the most important and most hated.
Her life has really changed a lot. She was even treated in a psychiatric clinic. Another person she hates is Anna Zubova. And only when a girl saves Vera’s life, does she “thaw” a little in her attitude towards her. The actress who played this beautiful but very unhappy woman is Yanina Sokolovskaya, known for the series “Paradise apples”.
The young couple, the relationship in which almost every series changed, was played by Nadezhda Bakhtina (her heroine Anna Zubova) and Vakhtang Beridze (Sergey Narchinsky). Despite his youth, behind both of them there are a couple of dozens of diverse paintings: “Don't Be Born Beautiful,” “The Secret of the Snow Queen”, “Gypsies” and others.
Anyuta’s childhood friend, Mitya, was played by Alexey Kondrakhov. Kira, his wife, was performed by Lilia Kondrova. The role of Sonya, the daughter of Nina, went to the young actress Larisa Baranova, who is familiar to fans of TV shows by the role of the harmful gymnast from the “Princess of the Circus”. You can not ignore another actor, whose smile is remembered by all the girls who were in the eighties from 16 years old and above. Alexander Kuznetsov (role in the series - Ivan Antonovich Pronin). Despite the fact that his character is far from an angel, it is interesting to observe the artist’s work, how filigree he writes this image.
What will win: acting or bloopers?
So how did the movie “Queen of the Game” end? The reviews express the opinion of the audience about the understatement of the story, that there should be at least some continuation. After all, it all began so well and clearly. But somehow it didn’t end very much ... And not everyone understands who the queen is in this film. Opinions are divided: some viewers advocate that Anna, and others favor Vera Semenovna. Some even review the series two to three times in order to thoroughly verify the correctness of their choice.
And yet Anya pulls the maximum on the princess. But Vera - yes, she is a real queen, because in the story she manipulates people so subtly, building and calculating all the moves that she wins almost all the moves made. Reviews of the movie "Queen of the Game" claim that the script line was spelled absolutely right. After all, it was Yanina Sokolovskaya who was the actress who played the role of a kind of monarch of the person of modernity with her inherent grace, subtlety and intelligence.
Strange ending to the story
What was the end of the film in the Queen of the Game? Reviews differ on this issue. But not about the action taking place on the screen, but about the fact that otherwise, most likely, it could not be. Or it was necessary, in spite of everything, to come up with a favorite happy ending by many.
So what happened there after all? After Anna saves Vera from suicide, she needs to be examined again. It so happens that it’s Anya who becomes the liver donor for Vera. Everything seems to be starting to improve, but the symptoms of a mental illness that she had already been treated for before return to Vera again. Now, in reality, she sees her former lover, who claims that her liver is rejected due to the fact that the sworn enemy acted as a donor.
Now the young family lives separately from Vera. Pronin once tells them that she asked him for a gun. Vera finds a weapon at home and goes to a country house where young people live. Sergei goes there too. He runs into the house at the moment when his mother, constantly repeating to the pregnant Anna that only she and her father are to blame for everything that happened to her, with Vera, points a gun at her. He tries to take the weapon from his mother, fights with her, and a shot is fired. Anna, seeing that her beloved man had died before her eyes, grabs her stomach and falls to the floor, feeling unbearable pain. At this time, Vera, having completely lost her mind, sits down next to her son, whom she just shot, and tries to wake him, saying that it is time for the boy to go to school.
Reviews about the movie “Queen of the Game” were different: some liked more, others less. But since people express their opinions, then history has left a mark in their hearts. But isn’t this what actors always seek?
