War & Peace

Loved this version of the classic work, already set the teeth on edge. If you compare our film Bondarchuk, then you can safely put 10 points at least for boldness of casting — all the characters are the right age. In addition, there is no special division between "good", which is like a thick and bad, that he doesn't like. For example, take "positive" Bezukhov and a "bad" sharer. Anna Pavlovna Scherer. Thick she didn't like, because she's 40 years old, single (spinster), she has her own business (salon). No one will remember the top of my head who played in the Oscar-winning film. And here is Gillian Anderson. Beautiful woman, maid, aristocrat is a businesswoman with a quick mind and excellent communication skills. Her "flaw" referenced by Tolstoy — it's the same a saying that "successful woman is a married woman".
Pierre Bezukhov. Tolstoy's favorite character at first, a lot of eating, drinking, and having fun with women in the company Kurakinyh. But for Tolstoy the main thing that Pierre first love of Napoleon, and then ceases to love him. This, of course, is most important. Bondarchuk in its 45 years played Pierre like a wise old man who only does what they reflect about the fate of the Motherland and becomes an "innocent victim" of Helen. American Paul Given much more vividly and fairly shows the image, however, is not without the help of a screenwriter. Funny at first Pierre did not have money and beautiful women never noticed. Women love men-men and not men-children. Then Pierre got some money and he immediately began to like. But, as rightly remarked Helen, with that money also have to sleep. Brother and sister Kuragina, of course, are fruits. But Anatole in this screen resembles something in appearance of the young Tolstoy. Lev Nikolayevich in our country, is also a model of morality and immoral behavior. But this adaptation is another reason to think over the eternal Russian question: who or what Tolstoy hated more — women or sex. Most likely, the last.
