The last work of director John Hughes was the lyrical comedy "Curly Sue." The actors in this picture created the images of the heroes of a soulful, touching story.
Producer
John Hughes never sought to create cult films. He shot a simple movie that everyone understood. When one of his films “Home Alone” became a real hit (apparently by a lucky chance), Hughes did not play the role of a great director, but continued to create the same kind, plain stories. However, the author of the picture Curly Sue possessed an amazing gift. The actors in his films were characters in stories without a deep philosophical meaning. But, despite this, each of them penetrated the very heart of the viewer.
"Curly Sue"
Actors James Belushi and Kelly Lynch in 1991 starred in a film based on a classic plot. Charlie Chaplin introduced fashion for similar stories, creating the cinema masterpiece "Kid". John Hughes was one of the most talented American filmmakers of the end of the last century. But legends made up of his laziness. Unlike his colleagues, Hugh did not come up with new artistic techniques. He just took the plot, which by that time was more than half a century, picked up the actors and started shooting.
Tramp and baby
It is worth summarizing the contents of the film Curly Sue. The actors in this film starred quite famous. The lead actors are listed below. For those who have not watched the Hughes legendary film, it is worth saying that the plot is devoid of any intrigue. The tramp brings up a girl of nine years. Sue "got" him from a roommate who died when the child was very young. Bill - this is the name of the hero of the film - brings up the baby as best he can. Its main source of income is fraud.
Bill rushes under the wheels of an expensive car. Girl in tears. The driver of the car realizes that he does not need problems, and therefore quickly pays off from the “victim”, who, by the way, when he sees the money, is instantly healed. The plot of this picture was not original even in 1991. Nevertheless, it is popular today. What is the success of Curly Sue?
Actors and roles
Hughes knew how to work with small artists. It's worth taking a look at Sue, played by little Alison Porter. She speaks touchingly on adult topics. Incredibly quickly turns from a gangster girl into an angel. In order to reveal young talent, you need to have real talent. During the filming of John Hughes paintings, the young artists behaved absolutely naturally. And this is the success of the films that he created about children and for children.
Other actors in the movie Curly Sue:
- James Belushi.
- Kelly Lynch
- John Goetz.
- Cameron Thor.
- Steve Carell
- Burke Byrnes.
Continuation of a story
There is nothing fun in the Sue Curly movie, despite the fact that Hughes' paintings are related to the comedy genre. The story of a little girl is tragic. The humor that is present in the film, the scriptwriter added, in order to deprive the film of sugary, cloying.
The picture shows the fate of three completely different people. The main character is a man who is at the very bottom of social life. He takes care of a girl named Sue, because he has no one else to love and no one to care about. Bill meets a wealthy successful woman. Held in a career, but not in family life. Maternal instinct awakens in Gray. There comes the most insightful moment in the plot. Sue is too small, she does not think about her future. The girl is not able to appreciate the material goods that she can use when she lives with Gray. Nine-year-old Sue can only love. And therefore, she will never part with Bill. The integrity and purity of the child's soul - this, perhaps, is the main idea of ​​the John Hughes film.
