“Convict" - a film that affects the social problems of Soviet society. The film was released in 1982. Director - Igor Voznesensky, known for such film works as “The Perfect Crime”, “Attention! To all posts. ” Films of this filmmaker have always been close to the criminal theme.
Main character
The article outlines the plot of the social drama "Convict." Actor Alexander Mikhailov played the main role. Before setting out the plot of the film, it is worth saying a few words about this amazing personality. Fans can name more than a dozen paintings with the participation of Mikhailov. In his filmography, more than seventy roles. The actor worked for many years in the theater, in 1992 he made his debut as a director. His track record has predominantly positive roles. Not an exception and the role in the film "Convict." The actor in the role of an idealist policeman looks very harmonious, sincerely, truthfully.
Smartly
The law enforcement officer (Sergey Voronin), whose role was played by Alexander Mikhailov, had to deal with the impudent leader of a gang of juvenile delinquents, Nikolai Boyko, on duty. The decisive leader of local bullies was going to rob a harmless schoolboy. However, a lot of such criminal episodes have already accumulated in the life of a young man. Activists from the patriotic club Young Dzerzhinets prevented the atrocity.
On the contradiction between the characters based on the plot of the film "Convict." Actor Vladimir Shevelkov played the role of a bully. The artist became famous, of course, thanks to the image of Prince Nikita Orlov. Shevelkov played one of the midshipmen in the whole famous picture. But that was five years before the release of the film “Convict.” It was difficult to imagine an actor in the role of a noble officer in 1983.
Good policeman
Let's get back to the plot of the film. Voronin in his youth was as brave and self-confident as his new ward. He was registered in the children's room of the police for numerous offenses. But over time, he stopped harming others, and after leaving school he seriously thought about the future and chose the profession of a policeman, having achieved success in this field. In the service, he established himself as a competent qualified specialist, able to find an approach to the most seemingly unreliable person.
But in the case of Nikolai Boyko, an experienced guardian of order was somewhat at a loss. In times of commodity shortages, every Soviet citizen dreamed of acquiring another overseas trophy for a fabulous amount. But almost any benefits of civilization were accessible to the young man - the son of wealthy parents instantly received everything that he could only dream about. Voronin resolutely did not understand that such a privileged teenager was pushing him to commit crimes.
Impunity breeds crime
Behind petty robbery, hooliganism or theft of peers is some serious reason preventing the student from taking the path of correction. The strong-willed character and leadership inclinations allow him and other friends to be forced to carry out dubious errands. And this guy is not at all afraid of responsibility for what he has done.
Amazing luck allowed Boyko to avoid serious punishments - witnesses of incidents and victims, as a rule, were in a hurry to collect their testimony so as not to ruin the life of the teenager. Of course, permissiveness pushed for the next criminal exploits, which could end badly for the young thief and his team. It was important for Voronin to prevent a fatal mistake, after which his ward could be behind bars for many years. Nevertheless, the “courage” was smartly enough to commit a real murder. This is the plot of the film "Convict." Actors and roles are presented in the article. But how did this story end? Who was the victim of a bully? In order to find out, it is better to watch a movie.
