Our Fatherland loves to remake successful full-length films and serials popular abroad. This fate also affected the Spanish series "Physics or Chemistry". Russia, whose actors and directors are already accustomed to such events, slightly modified the series, adjusting it to the domestic audience. Every teenager who has given ten whole years of his life to school is familiar with the dramas shown in this project. Of course, this does not add artistic value to the series, but the actors of the film "Physics or Chemistry" are trying very hard to portray believable emotions, and the scriptwriters are simply climbing out of their skin to once again surprise the viewer with an "unexpected" plot twist. However, despite all the efforts, the series never caught on, collecting a huge amount of negative reviews and simply disparaging comments. Most moviegoers prefer the original, but they don't even want to know about the Russian version. But is the Russian analogue of the Spanish series really that bad?
Russian serials as they are
The answer is yes, yes the show is really bad andits actors are especially bad. "Physics or Chemistry" in the Russian version is generally not very positive, and the acting work there is completely at the lowest level. On the one hand, they try to play, worry and read dramatic monologues loudly on camera, but all their attempts to play well make Stanislavsky turn in his grave. The actors of the series "Physics or Chemistry" are not at all familiar to the average viewer, because for many this work was a debut. It is noteworthy that the series was broadcast by the STS channel, known for its tender love for such “decisions” of impudent Russian cinema. However, nothing could raise the ratings of the project: neither the pretty faces of the main characters, nor the original hairstyles of the secondary ones. It is also surprising how huge the headquarters were able to "form" these actors. "Physics or Chemistry" includes in the casting about a hundred unknown to the wide screen faces for whom this series was the first and last opportunity to light up.
A lot of work and little fame
Among filmgoers with a delicate taste, it is customary to joke about the low quality of Russian TV series, but few people take into account that it is the actors who are actually to blame for everything. "Physics or Chemistry" disappoints with every mimic wrinkle of the character, every false note in the voice, every implausible turn of the head. One of the leading roles is played by Lyubov Germanova, in whose arsenal there are as many as 465 works. However, we all know that quality is more important than quantity, so the performance of the actress is rather amazing here, and even in the level of her actinggames to doubt us, nothing will stop us. On the contrary: is it really possible to play professionally in 465 projects if no one has heard your name? This makes you think that all these projects are nothing more than someone's arthouse or amateur videos for underground local cinema festivals from Vaska from the third entrance. Of course, most of Lyubov Germanova's works are voice acting of characters, but there is still a difference between voice acting and playing on the big screen, and it is quite tangible.
There is beauty - no need for games?
Victoria Poltorak, who appears the most in the official trailer, makes you think that the actors are not so bad there. "Physics or Chemistry" (Spain) did not rely on the appearance of the characters, and perhaps here the Spaniards miscalculated. The pretty Victoria Poltorak had every chance to pull out the project, but she still would not have been able to do it alone. The filmography of Poltorak includes 33 films, of which the series "Lone Wolf", the film "White Canvas" and the humorous franchise "Studs" are more or less famous. The appearance and manner of playing Victoria Poltorak is very serial, so the role of Irina was not so bad for her. However, the series are just different in that you don’t really need to play there. Most of the works from the filmography of the actress are just serials, which, as it were, hints at her real place in life. It is noteworthy that the actress graduated from the acting department, therefore she has a set voice and good diction. But a series with such a sagging plot and completely incomprehensible connections betweencharacters simply did not allow her to open up properly. It might be worth checking out some of her other work.
Sergey Godin is fit for series
As for the male half of the cast, in terms of cuteness, their faces are not inferior to the most promoted youth stars of American cinema. For example, Sergei Godin, who played a fashionable guy with the original Slavic name Rick, has worked on only 16 projects so far, but managed to gain a fan base precisely thanks to his radiant smile. Who needs acting when there are beautiful green eyes and a forelock? It cannot be said that Godin is not trying, quite the contrary. He overdid it, and his main problem lies precisely in this. Critics are still arguing about what is worse, not finishing or overplaying, and they have not come to a consensus. Godin is exactly the same one hundred percent serial actor as Victoria Poltorak, so his person looks very out of place in Physics or Chemistry. The only question is, can this actor really show off anything other than a pretty face?
The path from series to feature film
Gela Meskhi and Alexander Luchinin also appeared in the Russian analogue of the Spanish series "Physics or Chemistry", and their work slightly surpassed the quality of the efforts of their comrades on the set. Perhaps the point is in the specifics of the characters themselves, or just someone should be an actor, and someone should be a process engineer. In any case, Alexander Luchinin "lit up"also in the recent Russian apocalypse film Metro, and such a role is a real breakthrough for a permanent resident of the series.
Deplorable realities
Maybe some of the supporting roles of the series "Physics or Chemistry" will soon be noticed by directors with big bellies and fat wallets, but today the trend is rather deplorable. It is not yet known whether it is good or bad when untalented actors grace series, and talented ones sign contracts with Hollywood.
