"On the Edge" (film): reviews, description, actors

The adventure drama "On the Verge" is a film (critics' testimonies confirm this), penetrating the viewer to the depths of the soul, fascinating, intelligent, at the same time dynamic and interesting.

The plot is a key element of the plot

The action of the picture takes place in a cozy cozy house, which is located in one of the most picturesque corners of Alaska. At one point in it an interesting company is going to shoot the author's photo shoot among the captivating beauties of the local nature. The heroes of the picture are original and interesting, among them stands out a successful and talented, and most importantly - recognized, fashion photographer Bob Greene. In the originality with him can compete only the fatal beauty, the model of Mickey, who is not a supporter of Puritan morality and somewhat obsessed with her own appearance. Also worth noting and the rest of the crew - quite a few splendid young people looking for new experiences and entertainment. Absolutely does not fit into this company Charles - the husband of the beauty of Mickey, the billionaire and the sponsor of this project. He is intelligent, intelligent and selflessly loves his young wife, who shamelessly flirts with an ambitious and young Bob. And Bob does not so much like the windy model, how much money and the "beautiful, sweet" life, the one that Charles has. Here is a funny love triangle in the plot of the film "On the Verge". Description of the film (short) looks something like this.

From women all the troubles?

Also, it's worth mentioning minor characters. This is a mercantile owner of a forest house, a brave African American, a mysterious Indian hunter and, of course, a cute grizzly bear (positioned as an ogre). With them, perhaps, the viewer would not have met if the main characters had not gone to a remote lake - the seat of an Indian hunter, with whom Mickey wanted terribly to be photographed. This is where their misadventures begin.

Moral subtext

During the timing of the picture, the main characters will suffer a sufficient number of heavy tests, fueled by the ongoing rivalry between Charles and Bob, which will lead the main characters to the thirst for the death of an opponent, will make forget about the instinct of self-preservation. "On the Edge" is a film whose reviews are diametrically opposed. But generalizing them, we can say that many viewers are sure that the picture is not so much about trying to survive in incredibly difficult conditions, but rather about truthful reflection of the life realities of our time. The creators of the tape presented to the film enthusiasts fascinating and powerful history, developing the plot deeper than the demonstrated difficult situation, prompting the viewer to once again review and realize their capabilities and potential. After all, the plot of the film is dashingly developed around the confrontation of the unbridled forces of wild nature and man for the right of domination.

Advantages and disadvantages

"On the Edge" is a film (reviews about it are contradictory), which can be called the first truly significant work of director Lee Tamahori. Absolutely, there is no point in pointing out some artistic flaws, such as uneven narration or lack of dynamics. They are more than overshadowed by a harmonious connection between the plot's penetration and visual entertainment. Proper construction of the narrative makes the picture fascinating, it is quite interesting to observe the peripeteias of the characters. The plot line prompts the viewer to co-propagate, and the splendid landscapes make you feel more strongly what is happening on the screen. The chic soundtrack of Jerry Goldsmith emphasizes the constant tension that hangs in the air, and organically weaves into the narrative.

Cast

The actors of the film "On the Verge" brilliantly coped with their task, their characters are insanely interesting and far from trivial. The outstanding actor's singing of Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin allowed the viewer to uniquely imbue the relationship between these characters. Baldwin's character is in a dynamic development, so it's quite interesting to a wide audience, although, closer to the denouement breaks. This hero of the film lacks self-control and the ability to adequately think in difficult situations. The more trouble he gets, the faster his glitter and bravado flies off him.

The film "On the Edge" is of interest to the actors. Anthony Hopkins as a billionaire Charles is fascinating. His character is erudite, hard and cold-blooded. Disadvantages of the hero - the lack of friends and confidence that everyone around him wants only money from him.

Another important point - the rivalry of two men for a woman, and it's easy to guess how it can end.

The actress of the movie "On the Verge" El MacPherson (model Mickey, the wife of a billionaire) created a completely banal image: half of the screen time, she smiles self-lovingly, the remaining time - terrified. But it looks invariably attractive and sexy in any situation.

Bear in one of the main roles

Introduced an element of tension and became the embodiment of the forces of wild nature bear Bart, well-trained and most famous in the world (its weight is 700 kg, height - 2.5 m). Without him, the category "the main actors of the film" On the Edge "" can not be considered complete. Having carefully reviewed his "track record in the cinema", with a sense of respect you realize that some actors of such successes in their entire career can not achieve.

Business worldly

Decoupling film is happy with the unexpected. If we consider that the usual everyday situation is deliberately placed in the basis of the scenario "On the Verge", the description of the film may seem trivial. All emotional tension, intrigue and power are not able to convey a single review and not a single review. The picture must necessarily be viewed in order to enjoy its truthfulness and vitality.

Summary
