Novy Russian Holms: In the final John umret?

new series about Sherlock Holmes discussed long before the premiere on the channel “Russia” and will probably discuss it after. Claims are known in advance. Why shoot a new product, if nothing (!) Can not be compared with the series of thirty years ago, in which the reference performance Vasily Livanov recognized even the Queen of England? Why even touch the classic story? This limited range of issues raised before each new incarnation of the great detective. Whether it is a charming fighter (Robert Downey Jr.), cold and extremely modern, with a rough profile of the detective (Benedict Cumberbatch) or sober addict (Jonny Lee Miller). Explain why necessarily stop after one adaptation – a difficult task.

Thirty years ago, when Igor Maslennikov filmed in Riga London detective adventures, no one is confused, that version already abound. Now, many are indifferent to the fact that Latvia portrayed England, and the series was filmed at the level of conventional television product of that time: the same pale camera work, editing and sometimes bad sometimes too emotional game artists. Hold that “Holmes” with a brilliant ensemble cast, at least strange – the zeitgeist is blowing where wants viewers poetomumetody communication with the product are changed every few years. It’s inevitable. In place of tweed suits and gentlemanly manners came dirty alleys, fighting in slow motion and mobile phones. It’s not that the new viewer allegedly became worse – after thirty years, the current twenty years will authoritatively twist his mustache and remember serials of his youth, when “knew how to shoot.” Just time to sound terrible phrase “may become obsolete.” World still has very much changed since then.

«Sherlock Holmes” Andrew Kavun very easy to criticize. London – cold, like during the plague, all the characters in any disease, and the haunting Scottish motif though resembles the soundtrack to Guy Ritchie Novels, but not so diverse and pleasing to the ear. Everything is clear already at the time when looking around helplessly Dr. Watson (now, by the way, his name that way) comes in a nondescript island of horse manure. Soon there and Holmes – with short hair and a light stubble, behaving like neobayatelny and slightly crazy kid. It would seem that it’s time to turn off the TV and wait until midnight, when the same “Russia” you will hear a familiar tune and catches a glimpse of the names in the credits of “Lebanon” and “Solomin.” But then Igor Petrenko playing the great detective, said casually: “Do not rush to conclusions – logic can lead you to a dead end.” Really, do not hurry.

In

luggage each viewer has a commonplace phrase for the painting, which is not surprising absolutely nothing. Like, where originality, where at least something different. If you believe the reviews first, “Holmes” Kavun – do not laugh – fell victim to his neizbity. It is a rare occasion when Dr. Watson outshines Holmes, and uses his boxing skills (sometimes – against partner). Dr. Andrey Panin seems the only normal person in a crazy pot atrocities and indifference, which is drawn London. Yes, in this town it’s not only drinking tea at five o’clock and weighed each other bows. Holmes same – people, in fact, eating poisonous vapors of the underworld – the first time fashioned way we have not seen him. Performed Petrenko he reminds version Benedict Cumberbatch, but skim version – not charismatic, not stylish, not genius. It periodically freezes, his head thrown back a little, waiting for replica interlocutor. It is similar to not conceited detective who still revolves around the sun if the Earth or vice versa, and urban madman pester Scotland Yard with their advice. In addition, a new Holmes always looks like he does not live at 221B Baker Street, and at the dump right under the window at home at this address. It must be admitted that Holmes Petrenko pathologically neobayatelny – speaking with strange intonations, waving his hands. In addition, he drinks, allowing drops nasty drain on the lips.

seen people with life pedant Watson enhances the contrast between the legendary detective and normal people. However, the big question is whether they live in London “normal people”: for every soul oddity or even close peccadillo. Holmes and this opens the eyes of the latter-day counterpart. Curious how much a retired army doctor did not want to believe in the crimes committed by former colleagues. Similarly, the viewer is hard to believe that the brilliant detective – Lecha boredom morphine and playing the violin badly sociopath – generally not the most pleasant small.

Even mild sarcasm look how Dr. Watson settle in his little room, he wearily hangs in the closet military uniforms, as a veteran in any Soviet film, sitting on the bed, looking around … With a tube in his mouth reading a tattered book – perfect stereotypical Englishman. Only here Russian template we somehow did not really like. Even in vaudeville version of “Diary of a Madman” with Daniel Radcliffe and John Ham – perky adaptation of Bulgakov’s story with English humor and grotesque characters. Our sense of humor is easy to digest and turns in the catch phrase “Oatmeal, sir,” but «Well done, Pelageya» we have no taste.

With this

Andrew Kavun and supposedly trying to fight. Externally similar to the Soviet TV series, the new “Holmes” stretches to the wonderful discoveries made in the world of Hollywood and Holmes BBC. Beautiful fights under vigorous Scottish music, controversial characters, redefining the relationship between the characters and the dynamic assembly, which, no matter what they say, was not invented in America and in Russia nearly a century ago. But this is not enough either ideas, or skills, or impudence. Curious plan is implemented by half, and a mass brawl removed one boring frame-constrained and dynamic as much as possible, when one person in turn has four opponents. In this position, perhaps, freezes most domestic television projects. Focusing on the new audience, they are not up to date because they do not want to lose more adult audience. Producers are afraid of the world, but if solved, then go to the end.

meantime, the main intrigue of “Sherlock Holmes” is not whether we will see who else in the roles of famous characters: so unusual look Mrs. Hudson (Ingeborg Dapkunayte) and Irene Adler (LyankaGryu). Somehow, with the first series of the feeling that the final John dies. It’s not that this is the last role of Andrei Panin, which is fun to watch the others. Watson just can not get used to normal life – in a new time and out of hostilities. As if he lacks something. Like a fish on dry land.
