The film "One Day": actors and roles

If the viewer wants to spend his free time watching a quality melodrama, then he should choose the film "One Day". Actors and roles touch the heart already simply because everything that happens in the film is reflected too vitally and truthfully. Of course, the film critics found not one "stone", which they launched into the director of the picture - Lon Sherfig. But from this the popularity of melodrama in the eyes of ordinary ordinary people did not become less.

A short story and the creators of the film

It would seem that the plot of Lona Sherfig's melodrama is not very original: the protagonists for many years feel affection for each other, but for one reason or another can not be together. And when they still decide to step over their own fears and prejudices - time is running out, and one of the heroes is dying. That, in fact, and everything that is said in the film "One Day".

Actors Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturges play Emma and Dexter, who meet July 15 at a university graduation party. Dexter, as an avowed loutwass, sees Emma first as an object of lust, but a romantic evening does not stack up, and young people remain friends.

Throughout the film, the director shows the history of their lives and relationships in about the same period - July 15 of different years. The difference between the film of Lona Scherf from all the other melodramas is that the heroes are not placed in some romantic conditions of existence, family enmity or some historical circumstances do not prevail over them: they do not make a step towards each other only by their own stupidity, and in general In the frame everything is quite ordinary and realistic. That's why it's impossible not to believe in the story of Emma and Dexter. In these characters it's easy to find out someone from real life.

The film was based on the novel of the same name by David Nicholls.

The role of Emma Morley went to Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway.

Emma is shy and clamped, until she was 30, she had no idea what an attractive woman should look like. But at the same time the girl is incredibly kind and human. Moreover, she has a writer's talent, but she does not use it, because she does not believe in herself.

Dexter Emma fell in love from the first day of their acquaintance. But knowing his character, she immediately decided that he was not for her and would never be able to love her as a woman. However, the girl continues to be his best friend and supports him in all life situations. And Dexter comes too late to realize that he will not find the best woman for herself: Emma has already been married, divorced, made a career and found herself a pianist friend. Still Morley risks: gives him a second chance, threatening: "If you leave me, Dexter ... I'll kill you." They manage to live together only a few years before Emma dies in an accidental road accident.

The film "One Day" did not change the already dynamically developing career of Hathaway. Rather, for the actress, the paintings "Les Miserables" and "The Dark Knight: Renaissance" have more weight, but "One Day" still remains one of the best works of Anne in the cinema.
