The New Year is just around the corner, and again we are waiting for a long holiday vacation. At this time, I so want to enjoy the beautiful New Year's tales, folded about our life today. In 2011, the film “My Boyfriend is an Angel” replenished the standard New Year’s repertoire. Actors of the picture, roles, as well as plot twists and turns appear before the reader in the materials of the next publication.
A non-standard picture for modern Russian cinema
We can say that modern Russian cinema was divided into two categories: festival films and commercial ones. The festival works are filmed by venerable domestic directors, and the most talented, sometimes not media, Russian actors are involved in the filming of such films. Such films are fond of the positive reviews of Western critics and tell about our hard life. The second category of films is “pathos” pictures about our modern life, where people are attracted, who are somehow “illuminated” on a television screen.
The film "My Boyfriend is an Angel" cannot be attributed to any of these categories. We can safely say that this movie is special. Despite its straightforward plot and focus on a female audience, the film contains the deepest message for the viewer. People who already managed to watch this lyrical comedy firmly understood: you should not give your emotions to an unloved person.
Story line
The viewer always loved that a real story was told for him on the screen, and the elements of magic could be a pleasant addition, especially if the picture touches on New Year's themes. The film "My Boyfriend is an Angel" combines everything that people like so much: the romantic relationship of two beautiful young people, comical situations and a bit of magic. The plot tells about one day in the life of student Sasha. But this is not an easy day; it is New Year's Eve. And this had to happen - Sasha managed to fall out of the window, but remained alive and well. Her fall was taken upon by an angel sent to earth on a special assignment from heaven. The Savior had to open the heroine’s eyes to the fact that she was living the wrong life, and prepare Sasha for a meeting with true love.
“My Boyfriend is an Angel”: actors and characters
The role of the angel Seraphim was perfectly performed by the famous actor Arthur Smolyaninov. And if the director of the picture, Vera Storozheva, had no doubts about the correctness of her choice, then Arthur himself at first was rather skeptical about the role of an angel, believing that his characters should be more brutal. However, a talented actor can fit into any image, even if completely unusual. Well, the female audience was satisfied, because the title of an uncompromising, but good-natured hero was long and firmly entrenched on Smolyaninov.
We continue the story of the New Year lyric movie "My Boyfriend is an Angel." The main female role went to the sought-after young actress Anna Starshenbaum. According to the director of the picture, Anna was 100% able to cope with the task. But the actress was faced with a difficult task. She should not just portray the romantic heroine, she should show the transformation of the inner world of student Sasha.
These changes completely changed the worldview of the cynical and prudent modern young lady. However, these changes occur in one day, and the viewer should have fully believed in it. Anna Starshenbaum justifies her character a little, telling that the cynicism and early growth of Sasha are caused by the loss of her mother. The heroine spoiled and treated kindly by her father sometimes does not do very well in her life. That is why the choice of all-seeing heaven fell on her. The angel was sent to Sasha in order to save Sasha first of all from herself.
“My Boyfriend is an Angel”: Supporting Actors
The role of the father of geologist Sashenka, who spoiled his daughter so much and is always on the road, was played by Sergei Puskepalis. Recognized by the Berlin Film Festival, Puskepalis gives the picture even more charm and charm. And what else does a female audience need to be completely happy, except to see their beloved, kind, but courageous actors in action?
The closest girlfriend of the main character was played by Olga Popova, daughter of Vera Storozheva. In addition, Ivan Okhlobystin, Ekaterina Vulichenko, Gosha Kutsenko, Andrei Leonov and others are involved in the New Year's romantic film . Venerable names, right? Moreover, Ivan Okhlobystin and Andrei Leonov perfectly coped with the seemingly unremarkable roles of drivers. But this is the charm of the New Year's fairy tale picture. Each character, even a minor one, is in its place and perfectly copes with the task. It is not for nothing that people say that the king (the main characters) is made by a retinue.
Heroes as directed by the director
In this publication, we talk about the film "My Boyfriend is an Angel." Actors perfectly coped with the task. Where did the protagonist come from such an unusual name? Everything is very simple, because Seraphim is a “fiery angel”. However, you should not expect canonical accuracy from the plot, because the genre of romantic comedy allows some deviations from the canons. The film's director Vera Storozheva admits that Arthur Smolyaninov has a brutal, but good-natured appearance. He wants to believe his eyes, and the facial features of the actor resemble an ancient Byzantine profile. You would like to know if the angel sent from heaven could change the character of student Sasha? Then watch the movie "My Boyfriend is an Angel" during the New Year holidays. The actors and roles of the picture were presented in this article.
As the author of the script sees the angel
The script for this mischievous, easy, but so instructive picture was written by Natalia Nazarova. It is noteworthy, but before starting work, Natalia was already informed about who will play the role of an angel. According to the scriptwriter herself, she simply adores Arthur Smolyaninov, and during the birth of plot twists and turns, the actor’s good-natured face stood before the eyes of the author. That is why we can say that the script for the New Year's fairy tale was written directly under Arthur Smolyaninov.
Conclusion
The actors of the film “My Boyfriend is an Angel” interacted well with each other on the set. Each of them admitted to appreciating the talent of their partners. So Anna Starshenbaum talked about what today considers Arthur Smolyaninov to be the most talented Russian young actor. Wonderful words from the performer of the role of the student Sasha and the wonderful actors Andrei Leonov and Ivan Okhlobystin. Separate words of admiration from the young actress was awarded to Irina Khakamada, who, despite the lack of professional acting education, also got a small role in this film. Well, without the actors Nikita Efremov and Ivan Makarevich, this film would probably not have turned out so funny and comical.
