At the end of September, the film "Unforgiven" was released with Dmitry Nagiyev in the title role. The film is controversial, controversial, but attracts the attention of both viewers and critics. Did Nagiyev cope with the role? Didn't the creators change the real events, did they distort them?
Even before the release of the film "The Unforgiven" in distribution, controversy began around it. Will Dmitry Nagiyev cope with the dramatic task entrusted to him? How truthfully will the story of the hero of the film, Vitaly Kaloev, be told? Wouldn't The Unforgiven be an exact replica of the American version of Aftermath?
"The Unforgiven" is a film based on real events
Dmitry Nagiyev is perceived by most of the audience as a comedian. But, according to the creators of the film "Unforgiven", it is this actor who is able to accurately convey the feelings, thoughts, motives of the main character - Vitaly Kaloev, who lost his entire family in an instant. And they were not mistaken, as indicated by the reviews of critics to the work, and the reviews of those who have already watched the picture.
The film is based on the real story of a simple architect Vitaly Kaloev, whose life changed dramatically in 2002, when two planes collided over Lake Constance. Having lost his entire family, the man began to seek justice. It is impossible to call his actions revenge, since he did not yearn for someone's death, but only wanted to hear an apology.
How to convey such feelings from screens? How to show the viewer the true desires and aspirations of a desperate person? Dmitry Nagiyev managed to do this, and it is now difficult to imagine someone else in this role, the actor played so talentedly.
Nagiyev as Vitaly Kaloev in the film "Unforgiven"
They have already tried to illuminate this story - a year ago, the Americans shot a film based on a script based on events from the life of Vitaly Kaloev and his family. But the storyline was seriously different from reality. When creating Unforgiven, director Andreasyan Sarik tried not to change real events:
- the real names of the participants in the tragedy are used,
- the storyline exactly matches the events that happened,
- even some replicas, for example, of the official representatives of the airline, have been preserved.
Dmitry Nagiyev himself refused to comment, talk about his impressions of the filming. The only thing he said was "I am completely devastated." And this phrase says a lot - how much emotional strength had to be given in order to accurately convey the inner state of your hero.
Opinions about the film "The Unforgiven" are different. Someone is delighted with the talent of Dmitry Nagiyev, the plot and way of presenting the story of Vitaly Kaloev, and someone sees a direct connection between the picture and the American version, considers the foreign version more emotional and complete. How many viewers (critics), so many opinions. It's still worth watching the film "Unforgiven" with Dmitry Nagiyev in the title role in order to have your own opinion about him.
