"Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive ": actors and roles

When in 2011 on the screens there was a film "Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive, "the actors and filmmakers became" the talk of the town ": some reproached them for not arranging the accents wrongly and making a regular addict from the legendary man, others were delighted with the material they saw. Who do you really believe?

Performer of the role of Vysotsky

The script for the film was written by Nikita Vysotsky - one of the sons of the famous actor and poet. Therefore, the facts from Vysotsky's life, portrayed in the picture, were more than truthful. Another thing, was it necessary to show them off? It's up to the creators of the picture, their creative decision. But fans of Vysotsky's talent, of course, were offended by the angle of view under which the life of their idol was considered.

For a long time, the name of the actor, who played the part of Vladimir Semyonovich, was kept secret. As Nikita Vysotsky himself says, even those who worked on the set, including the actors, did not know this.

The thing is that the performer of the role appeared in the public always in a special high-tech makeup and was like two drops of water like a character entrusted to him. Under this mask, Sergey Bezrukov, who later turned out to be this mysterious "Mr. X", was hardly recognizable. With the skill inherent in the actor, he transformed not only his psychophysics, but also his voice, so his partners on the stage site for a long time wondered who was really in front of them.

Sergei Bezrukov played in the movie a lot of outstanding personalities: Yesenin, Pushkin, Dantes, General Kappel. In the recreation of the image of Vysotsky, the actor invested a lot of energy: gait, voice, gestures - everything was exactly the same. However, the spectator was distracted by the unnatural "mask" -grim on the performer's face, as well as an unsuccessful script that did not allow revealing the truth of nature of Vladimir Vysotsky and was only revolving around the "pernicious addictions" of the famous actor.

Akinshina in the role of Tatiana Ivleva

Oksana Akinshina is a well-known Russian actress, who is famous for her role as a fatal woman. And this time she got a similar role: she embodied on the screen the image of Tatyana Ivleva - Vysotsky's last hobby.

In fact, the prototype of Ivleva is a real person - designer Oksana Afanasyeva. Many names of real heroes in the film have been changed to fictional ones to avoid conflicts with people who are still alive and have the right to privacy.

As for the heroine Akinshina, she appears before us as a young girl who is passionately carried away by her famous friend and is ready for everything: even to break in the middle of the night, find a dose of morphine and fly all the truths and fakes to Tashkent. It is thanks to Tatiana, judging by the plot of the film, the desperate Dr. Nefedov manages to return Vysotsky "from the other world."

"Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive ": actors. Ivan Urgant

One of the main characters in the picture was played by Ivan Urgant. His hero - Seva Kulagin - combined the character traits of two prototypes: actors Ivan Dykhovichny and Vsevolod Abdulov.

In the picture "Vysotsky. Thank you that the living "actors Maxim Leonidov and many others represented the characters of the counteraction - a group of people who tried to use Vysotsky's talent for profit and did not care about his health at all. The hero of Urgant, in a pair with the heroine Akinshina, on the contrary, tried to save her talented friend from self-destruction, but they practically could not do it: Vysotsky himself did not want to take care of himself, and continued to run forward with unbearable loads-endless concerts and shootings.

"Vysotsky. Thank you for being alive ": actors. Maksim Leonidov

Maxim Leonidov in the image of Pavel Leonidov appears before the viewer in the form of such a mean scoundrel.

Pavel Leonidov is the impresario Vysotsky, who organized concerts. Naturally, as an impresario, Leonidov was fed "with interest", so it was in his interests that Vysotsky would play out as many concerts as possible.

Initially, the tour in Bukhara was canceled, but it was under the pressure of Leonidov that Vysotsky traveled to hot Uzbekistan in the middle of summer, where he suffered a clinical death due to high loads and excessive heat.

Panin as a doctor Nefedova

Andrei Panin, who died two years after the film was released, played the role of his personal physician - Anatoly Nefedov (in reality - Anatoly Fedotov) in the biographical picture of Vysotsky.

It is Anatoly Nefedov who accompanies his friend on that ill-fated trip to Uzbekistan, and then tries to save at a time when Vysotsky's heart stopped. According to the plot of the film, Vysotsky's heart did not beat for about 8 minutes, which according to the laws of medical practice should mean brain necrosis and definitive death. But Ivleva manages to bring Panin's hero back to his senses, and he decides to take the last desperate step-adrenaline in his heart. And here there is a problem: for such a procedure there is no suitable needle. Then Nefedov goes to an experiment and injects adrenaline into his neck. Vysotsky immediately comes to his senses.

In addition to Panin, Bezrukov, Leonidov and Akinshina, the film featured such famous actors as Vladimir Menchov, Andrei Smolyakov, Vladimir Ilyin and others.
