In 2001, the directors and screenwriters of the screwball comedies "Dumb and Dumber" and "Me, Myself and Irene" Peter and Bob Farrelly took on a film with a melodramatic plot. However, the Farrelly brothers did not do without their characteristic humor. The result was the romantic comedy "Love is Evil." Actors, interesting facts and filming details - read about all this in our article.
What is beauty?
The plot of the film "Love is Evil", which at first glance seems just curious and funny, has a philosophical connotation. The main character Hal Larson (Jack Black) is very picky. Not being the standard of masculinity himself, Hal is extremely selective in choosing a companion. He is only interested in flawless beauties, and even the slightest flaw can irrevocably repel a fastidious character. As a result, all of Larson's relationships are short-lived.
In the elevator, he accidentally runs into a famous psychologist and pours his heart out to him. Halcomplains about the pettiness that prevents him from feeling truly in love and happy. The psychologist, who, by the way, was played by the real-life self-development author Anthony Robbins, imbued with Larson's problem, hypnotizes him. Now the hero sees the inner beauty of people. His eyes are drawn to a stranger walking down the street. She seems to glow from within. Falling in love at first sight, Hal meets an angelic beauty named Rosemary (Gwyneth P altrow). This girl seems perfect. She is kind, polite, caring and seemingly devoid of flaws. But Hal does not know why chairs break under his beloved, and others react to her without much enthusiasm.
"Love is evil": actors
Let's start with the basics. The main roles were played by the merry fellow Jack Black ("School of Rock", "Soldiers of Failure") and one of the main beauties of Hollywood Gwyneth P altrow ("Perfect Murder", "Iron Man"). Once upon a time, even Brad Pitt looked at the blond Gwyneth with loving eyes, but on the set, the Farelli brothers dressed the cutie P altrow in an 11-kilogram suit. In addition, a special latex makeup was used for the image of the heroine Gwyneth.
The fact is that the Oscar-winning actress agreed to play the obese girl Rosemary. Hal Larson sees her bright inner world and projects this impression on her appearance, thanks to which he falls in love with Rosemary with all his heart. When Gwyneth P altrow decided to take a walk incompleted makeup before filming, no one recognized her as a famous actress. Moreover, passers-by tried not to look into her eyes or seemed not to notice her at all.
The Hollywood star realized how psychologically difficult it is for overweight people in society. The actress herself is unlikely to face the fate of the "dumpling" - P altrow very strictly monitors her diet and even published several books with recipes and a proper nutrition system. However, the emotional experience she had on the set of the film shook her to the core.
In the movie "Love is Evil" the actors starred quite famous and in minor roles. These are Brooke Burns, Bruce McGill, Joe Viterelli, Susan Ward. Jason Alexander played the notorious friend of the protagonist named Mauricio, who at the end of the story learned to accept his own flaw as a highlight.
Russian dubbing
The film attracted the attention of Russian viewers also by the fact that in the Russian dubbing of the film "Love is Evil" foreign actors were voiced by well-known domestic ones. The heroine of Gwyneth P altrow was voiced by Maria Shukshina, whose voice is very close to the gentle image of Rosemary. The character of Joe Black was voiced by Sergey Rost - the actors are very similar in appearance and temperament, so the dubbing blended in harmoniously. Other characters were voiced by Sergey Parshin, Evgeny Dyatlov, Natalia Danilova.
Moral of the story
This movie is notable for the fact that its purpose is not just the desire to cheerviewer. The filmmakers put an instructive meaning into it - you can't judge people by their appearance. Spiritual ugliness can be hidden behind an attractive face, and a person with some external flaw often turns out to be the owner of a golden heart.
