The film "The Adventures of Electronics" (actors Torsuev Yuri and Vladimir, Vasily Skromny, Dmitry Maximov, Maxim Kalinin and others) combined the elements of a fairy tale, a fantastic collision and an adventure plot. In his era, he was a huge success among children and adolescents. The picture is based on the work of the same name by E. Veltistov, directed by K. Bromberg at the Odessa film studio. The books “The Electronics Are the Boy from the Suitcase” and “Ressie the Elusive Friend” (1971) are distinguished by original intellectualism. The author intentionally does not shy away from scientific concepts and terms. In the cinema, this tendency is somewhat weakening, but nevertheless, in 1982, only the Adventures of Electronics tape was awarded the USSR State Prize. Actors are now less in demand, and before they had wild popularity and popular love.
Adventure story
History of extraordinary adventures Electronics perfectly suited for cinematic manifestation. It has moments of sensationalism, originality, allowing the viewer to feel the acuteness of the moment, to live it “reportage”. Taking part in the filming of the “Adventures of Electronics” telecentre, the actors made their heroes acting and experiencing, as if fulfilling the function of a spectator on the screen. The plot itself contains the possibilities of a peculiar, but exceptional psychological experiment, at the same time an exciting adventure.
Tale of the era of scientific and technological revolution
This telefiction made it possible to talk about what really worried teenagers of that era. The picture presented the audience with charming and memorable characters, crystallizing and enlarging in them features that are close to the then children. And the unconditional, unconditional success brought the film "The Adventures of Electronics" actors and the free use of archetypes of fairy tales. Domestic art historians defended more than 12 dissertations, trying to unravel and explain the secret of the great popularity of the film.
Musical accompaniment
The film "The Adventures of Electronics" (the actors and roles of which will be described below) is distinguished by well-tuned musical accompaniment. Music in the cinema is the key to recognizability of the picture, plus to everything, it perfectly emphasizes the psychological moments of the plot. All songs for the project were written by a wonderful domestic composer Evgeny Krylatov. His work was not easy, since the director repeatedly forced Krylatov to redo the written songs. The final version of the soundtrack was performed by Elena Kamburova and a specially invited chorus. The actors, except Nikolai Karachentsov, were not allowed to perform the compositions.
Pinocchio of a different technical level
The story of the main character of the television movie Adventures of Electronics (whose actors are still loved by the viewer) is similar to the story of Pinocchio, but at the highest technical level. Professor Gromov in his laboratory creates a robot that looks like two drops of water similar to an unfamiliar boy whom he saw on the cover of a magazine. But the electronic Pinocchio turns out as naughty as a wooden one, and escapes from its creator. By the will of fate, he meets with a cover boy - a schoolboy Syroezhkin. This leads to a lot of all kinds of comic situations. Now the robot replaces a person at school, breaks sports records, surprises others with professional singing. Thus, the “miracle of technology” makes many friends and deserves the favor of the school's teaching staff. A copy turns out to be a hundred times better than its original, so Syroezhkin soon begins to feel useless and even flawed, which prompts him to reconsider his attitude to school and his life position in general. But the correction of the lazy person did not end there. Foreign gangster bandits kidnap Electronics. However, thanks to the common efforts of all the characters, their machinations fail. So briefly you can describe the storyline of the movie "The Adventures of Electronics."
Actors and roles
In the process of shooting, famous actors were involved : Nikolai Karachentsov (positive gangster Urry), Yevgeny Vesnik (teacher Taratar), Nikolai Grinko (Professor Gromov) and Vladimir Basov (imposing and stylish leader of the gang). However, the most striking and charismatic characters were the children - the actors of the film "The Adventures of Electronics", moreover, who had never before acted in films. They openly argued with the director, saying that they know better how they behave and what their 12-year-old heroes say, and firmly insisted on their formulations. The main roles of Syroezhkin and Electronics were played by the twin brothers Torsuev. The actors of the film “The Adventures of Electronics” created truly distinctive characters, the picture can rightfully be proud of a whole scattering of well-played children's and adult roles. Significant contribution to the success of the cinema was brought by his brilliant game Airedale Terrier Chingiz. He became so deeply accustomed to the role of Ressi (cyber dogs) that he often showed characteristic supernormal character.
Further fate
The fate of the actors of the film "Adventures of Electronics" is also interesting and multifaceted, as well as the characters they played. The main actors, the Torsuyev brothers, entered the Polygraphic Institute together (their father at that time was the director of Progress Publishing House). The learning process lasted only one course, after which they left the institute. They played roles in a film called “Dunno from our yard”, and after that they left to serve in the army. After the service, the Torsuyev made unsuccessful attempts to get a higher education. Both are now businessmen, but Syroezhkin is more successful. In 1992, the Torsuyev brothers starred in the film N. Fomin's “Russian Brothers,” in which Volodya plays the role of a felon, and Yuri plays the special forces. This is far from the "Adventures of Electronics." Actors now also do not look like funny little boys.
Oksana Alekseeva (Maya) never filmed anywhere else, got married and left for America. Vasily Skromny (Makar Gusev) played several minor and episodic roles, and now works as a lifeguard. Nikolai Karachentsov (Urry), Vladimir Basov (Stump), Eugene Vesnik (Taratar), Nikolai Grinko (professor) continued their professional acting career, each played in more than a hundred paintings of various genres: adventure, musical, dramatic, children's.
Total
"Adventures of Electronics" (the fate of the actors described above) is a classic of children's cinema, a feature film, the authors of which managed to balance the desire to sow eternal, kind, reasonable, as well as fantastic adventures (which was not often successful in the Soviet era). Sometimes only such creations can have a huge impact on the fragile minds of teenagers. Sincere and natural is the complete absence of xenophobia in the picture. The viewer does not even think for a second that the reaction of a person when meeting a humanoid cyborg (robot) could be different, the opposite. The fate of the actors of the film "Adventures of Electronics" has developed differently, but the tape itself has remained little time-dependent.
