At its core, revenge is actions aimed at causing harm caused by an urge to punish the offender for a very real or imaginary offense, the injustice inflicted earlier. In individual cultures, it is considered the norm and even a noble and necessary thing. Although in some religions, on the contrary, their postulates recommend responding with humility or good to evil. Naturally, such an expression of human feelings has become one of the most popular topics in cinema and has served as the reason for the release of the mass of films and TV shows in cinema distribution. An overview of several is presented in this article.
Count Monte Cristo in a skirt
The American series Revenge, whose actors and roles fit perfectly into the soap opera format, is based on A. Dumas's cult novel The Count of Monte Cristo. There is no doubt that the idea, borrowed from the classics, cannot be of poor quality, and the new-fangled version of the protagonist in a skirt is very interesting. Even starting to watch the movie “Retribution” (“Revenge”), the actors and roles in which are extremely expressive, you notice how the series evolves quite successfully from season to season. The first series is definitely enthralling, the idea is simple and brilliant: one episode - one revenge. The storyline is logical, the action is dynamic, and therefore exciting. Unfortunately, the second and third seasons are sprayed on through storylines.
Daughter for father
The storyline of the film movie “Revenge” (the actors and roles are well known to fans) is based on the story of the young beauty Amanda Clark. Her father was imprisoned on charges of many deaths and terrorism. There, unable to withstand the vicissitudes of fate, he dies. But his personal diaries remain, in which Clark explains to his daughter his innocence, because he was framed by the influential Grayson family. Amanda, holding a grudge, is waiting for an opportunity. And now she, already matured, returns to the Hamptons under the name Emily Thorne and begins to make retribution.
Meet the main characters
The series "Revenge" (actors and roles will be described in detail below) always had high ratings. The merit in this is not only the scriptwriters and their exuberant imagination, but also the acting of movie stars.
Emily Thorne (Amanda Clark) performed by Emily Van Kemp turned out to be a girl of extraordinary, obsessed with revenge. This is sometimes a cruel and sophisticated manipulator. At the same time, love, friendship and tender affection are not alien to her. The actress brilliantly coped with her role. Not inferior to the main character and Victoria Grayson, a woman who does not stand objections, beautiful and elegant. She is the main object of revenge Emily. Madeline Stowe, who presented such a vivid character to the audience, was nominated for the Golden Globe film award in the prestigious nomination for Best Actress of a Dramatic Plan. The struggle between the two heroines is the main meaning that is saturated with the series “Revenge”. Actors and roles - what are they? Their list cannot be considered complete without representatives of the strong half of humanity. So, the unselfish and kind friend of the main character - Nolan Ross, performed by Gabriel Mann, immediately became the viewer's favorite. There is a chance that he is gay, which does not spoil the overall impression. His phrases and stinging remarks instantly became winged among fans of the series. Victoria's son, Daniel Grayson (Joshua Bowman) - a tool of revenge in the hands of Thorne, a cute major who did not manage to resist the skillful seducer. Sex symbol Aidan Matthews (Beerry Sloan), Emily’s assistant, is obsessed with his desire for revenge. Jack Porter, performed by Nick Wexler - Emily / Amanda's first love, is kind and naive.
The soap opera Revenge (actors and roles is beyond praise!) Also impresses with its ostentatious “beautiful life”, stylish design, costumes and scenery, landscapes and a memorable soundtrack.
Fighting fighters from a series of paintings about revenge
Few film projects from the category of militants can claim the title of a movie masterpiece, rather, it’s strong middling or even a frank "prohodnik". So the film "Bloody Revenge" (the actors and the role of the situation do not save), alas, refers to the latter form. The plot is pretty simple. A couple of newlyweds sets off on a honeymoon in the Caribbean. Soon, the husband disappears without a trace, and his young wife conducts his own investigation, severely taking revenge on the offenders for a spoiled honeymoon. The main advantage of the 2013 film is the inexorable action star Gina Carano. And although the whole range of shades of emotions is still difficult for her, she brilliantly copes with battle-furious scenes. When a beautiful woman breaks her faces with “bad guys” and applies painful techniques, you definitely believe her. Also, Louis Guzman, whom the viewer is used to seeing in a comedy role, also looks good. In its place, the brutal and brilliant Danny Trejo - came-drank-killed-all defeated.
Danish arthouse
In 2010, Dane Susanna Beer presented the film Revenge to a wide audience. Actors and roles are well known. Local stars were shot in the film, the plot is a combination of several ideas, the characters' characters and motifs are worked out filigree. The protagonist Anton (Michael Persbrandt) served in Africa, where he saw a lot of injustice and violence. His son Elias (Marcus Rugord) is the target of ridicule and teenage violence at school. His classmate and peer Christian (William Jenk Nielsen) is also angry with his father and considers him guilty of all troubles. The fates of these protagonists are intertwined and inexorably moving toward tragedy.
He who seeks finds
It is not surprising that the viewer perceives any work of the film industry as much as it needs themes, ideas, generated feelings, even if it is not clearly aware of this need. The viewer catches the resonance and forgives the creators of the shortcomings and costs. Therefore, despite the fact that in the conditional category of paintings, where revenge is the main idea (actors and roles are of secondary importance), fighters predominate, it is quite realistic to find a film that is deep and ambiguous.
