Every good film, whether fiction or documentary, is a special story, like a written entertaining story, article or novel. It has its own logical beginning, then gradually develops to come to the same logical conclusion, so to speak, an epilogue. And sometimes it is tied up literally from scratch and gains momentum as the story progresses, like a rapidly growing snowball rushing down the mountainside. Sometimes the story can be calm, like a cool light breeze that evokes a lyrical mood.
Movies are like books
Perhaps the only difference between the movie and the book is the way the story is told. The adventures shown in the movie are not written with pen on paper, but are shown like a bright comic book or a colorful picture book. There are, however, very long stories that cannot be shown in one episode. And then the directors resort to a little trick. They are filming a TV series.
Multi-season production of selected stories
It is interesting to note thatalong with the usual soap operas, stretched over dozens of episodes, worthy television series are produced, where each series is an independent story with a certain beginning and end. And such series are very popular, because it is not necessary to watch them first to understand what the film is talking about. Any series will come in handy, because it looks like a full-length movie, only a little shorter in time. Exactly such a series "Foundry 4", whose actors are painfully familiar to the viewer from their previous roles from "Streets of Broken Lights". By the way, both TV projects converge on their theme of criminal action movies, and not only. After all, the series "Foundry" (season 4) was filmed on the principle of separate stories using the example of its predecessor, which tells about cops.
Special Investigation Unit
In St. Petersburg on Liteiny Prospekt 4, a special investigation department of special national importance is based. So begins the series "Foundry" (Season 4). The guys here are not playing with spillikins. They have everything in the department in an adult way! The task of the special group is to unravel crimes related to international terrorism and espionage, major scams and assassination attempts on significant state officials, high-ranking officials and their close circle.
Adding to the seriousness of the department is that it reports directly to the president and some of the big ranks from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This will be a short word about the plot of the series. You can also add that a group of specialists assembled at Liteiny4 - the actors of the series of high quality and inviting their viewers to watch. And all because the beloved artists are really professionals in their field.
Roles and performers
An interesting fact related to the main characters of the film, representatives of the special department under the president, is that most of the actors of the series "Foundry 4" have their real names and surnames the same as the names of those very special heroes. So, for example, the artist Sergei Selin plays the role of a serious Colonel Sergei Selin, Gabin, a former commando, and is responsible for the firepower of the detachment.
Aleksey Nilov, Captain Larin from Broken Lanterns, we know, takes part in the role of Nilov's lawyer, who has good connections among crime bosses. Anastasia Melnikova, known as Nastya Abdulova from the series "Opera, Chronicles of the Homicide Department", perfectly copes with the role of professional psychologist Anastasia Melnikova. She has invaluable experience in negotiating with criminals. And Andrei Fedortsov in Liteiny 4, previously known for his role as Vasya Rogov from Lethal Force, plays an employee of the special department Ukhov, who provides the group with access to all the resources of the FSB. Perhaps he is the only one from the star team of cops who does not have a real surname in the film, but limited himself only to his real name.
Heads the department of professional detectives Yuri Kuznetsov in the guise of General Kuznetsov. Is in thisThe group also has a talented programmer and brilliant hacker Groshev, who is able to hack any programs and services. Together, the members of the Special Forces make up an invincible team of modern superheroes who do their job well.
Fourth Season Stories
Another continuation of the beloved action-packed crime series continues its story about the hard work of the special department of special operations officers. From the first episode, the guys fail in the case of capturing Captain Mikhailov. In the second film, a fake terrorist attack is being promoted. Next, the team will face the difficult story of the commando Gavrilov and his brutally murdered wife. In the fourth series, they unsuccessfully help Major Jagiello catch three killers, people from the dashing nineties. And then - the case of the robbed politician Minaev, who was seriously injured in his own house. All criminal offenses are very complex and intricate. And the actors of the series "Foundry 4", who play the role of criminals, make not only the main characters of the film, but also the viewers move their brains.
"Foundry 4": reviews
The project, which introduces us to the everyday life of Russian super agents, caused a whole storm of positive emotions among fans of detective and crime films who watched it. The bulk of the audience believes that the directors and cast honorably worked out the large budget allocated for "Liteiny" by the producers of the NTV channel. True, there is also an opinion, contrary to most opinions of the fans of the series, that the fourth season was not a success and turned out to be a failure. But,As they say, you can't please everyone. Because, despite some minor shortcomings and minor film bloopers, in general, the project turned out to be on top and worthy of enthusiastic statements about it. Although, recalling the first season of the series, some argue that at first the actors behaved somewhat stiffly due to the fact that they had difficulty getting used to the new roles of cool employees of the special department. And that's true, for example, Alexei Nilov in "Foundry 4" at first was not perceived as a lawyer after the image of Captain Larin from "Lanterns".
Like him - and the rest of the heroes of the detective story. But still, they managed to put on the new clothes of special agents of the government. Because in essence they remained the same positive guys as in previous television versions. Therefore, let them gladly accept the audience's sympathy in the form of grateful statements, which are worthy of both the Foundry project itself and those who participated in it.
Conclusions of the layman
In conclusion of a brief review, I would like to sum up some of the above. Those who believe that there are almost no patriots left in Russia and that all young people are ready to sell their homeland for a bottle of American cola are wrong. In the same way, those who believe that Russian directors have forgotten how to make worthy films are wrong. And the proof of this statement is the good ratings compiled from the reviews of the wonderful TV series "Foundry". So let's keep goinginspire domestic filmmakers to create new inimitable masterpieces!
