Action - this is what affects the living

The term "action" appeared in our everyday life not so long ago and is the Russian transcription of English "aktion" (action), so it can be unequivocally asserted that action is an action. There are action games, but more often than that, we call films in which the action does not let us get bored. Do not scare, like in a thriller or horror, but also does not allow you to relax.

What is an action in the cinema?

Action - it's accurate shoot! It's catching up faster (run away)! it Dexterity of hands and feet (application of knowledge of martial arts is welcomed). It's crushing everything and everything, even if the whole world is flying to hell! It turns out that action movies are action movies.

Classics of the genre

The most that neither is the classics of this genre, it is probably worth mentioning James Bond films. The actors playing the role of 007 agent have changed: from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig (although many are still dearer to Piers Brosnan's heart), the epochs, governments changed, special effects became more complicated, but the tricks were performed with the same dedication, and the goal of the slaughter always justified the means. A worthy confirmation of the spectator's interest in the espionage theme and the action in particular was the success of the franchise about the tsrushnik, who lost his memory. "Bourne's Identification", followed by a very successful sequel "Bourne Supremacy" (this film, incidentally, was awarded three "technical" "Oscars" - for best sound, sound editing and just for the best montage), the tricolor "Bourne Ultimatum". Not the exception was the last part of "The Evolution of Born", where Jason Bourne himself was no longer present, but his spirit remained, so to speak. The Russian public, undoubtedly, was attracted by the fact that the second part was filmed, including in Russia, and even with the participation of our actors. "Mission Impossible" also consists of four parts, in each of which special agents carry out some kind of superflexible task, threatening a political coup, a terrible epidemic or the death of humanity as a whole. But Ethan Hunt and his team come out of any trouble with honor. The best action, in the eyes of many, in this series was created by director John Woo, who put the second part of the "Mission". Review the data of the motion picture: there will be no doubts, the action is all James Bond films.

Worthy representatives

Based on all the above, the most-active actors in the action-based role of Bourne Matt Damon, as well as Tom Cruise, who embodied the image of Ethan Hunt in all four parts of the franchise. Jackie Chan with his tricks can be named among the top actors in this direction. Let's call "Tux" and all the parts of the "Rush hour", and it's already clear what we're talking about. One should only admire the way he manages to combine the application of the knowledge and skills in the field of martial arts to the enemy with endless comic striking! Uma Thurman in the role of Black Mamba perfectly owns the samurai sword, specially forged for retaliation, so the image of this fighting girl in the films "Kill Bill" and "Kill Bill-2" (especially in the mass fight scene with a whole bunch of Japanese murderers) is quite " "For the action genre. If you judge the last tape that appeared on the screen, you can note the acting work of Guy Pearce. He was superb in the role of agent Snow, who, playing, is straightened out with notorious scoundrels-prisoners who escaped from a space prison in a fantastic action movie "Napraprom", produced by Luke Besson. Watching the play of the above actors, their charisma, pressure, you understand, action - it's really something that does not leave indifferent, touches the living. It would be more action films, but lately more and more of modern "masterpieces" are tending to sleep!
