The actors and roles of the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"for a long time bump into the memory. Still would! Indeed, in the lead roles - the most beautiful couple in Hollywood: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. This film gave impetus to the development of their relationship. It is he who most likes fans of artists. We will understand why?
If we talk about memorable Hollywoodpictures, it is impossible not to mention the thriller "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." Actors and roles are, of course, the main trump card of the film: even before the premiere, viewers expected a lot from the duet of the two sex symbols of the “dream factory” - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. In addition to the successful cast, the film Dag Lyman also boasts a light interesting plot, plain humor, flavored with gunfights and explosions. In short, what else is needed for a good time?
For director Doug Lymon "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"became the eleventh movie. Before that, Lymon had already managed to release two parts of The Bourne Identity with Matt Damon as well as several obscure thrillers.
Boyan Bazelli was invited as an operator, and John Powell became the composer of the project, who recently finished work on the fairy tale “Pen: A Journey to Netlandia”.
In the center of the comedy story is an ordinary couple,which was once madly in love with each other, and now drags a dull existence, meeting only at dinner and in the mornings in the bathroom for brushing your teeth. These are exactly the characters that famous Hollywood actors play during the first ten minutes. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” dramatically changes its plot direction when Jane and John go to work. The viewer understands that in this marriage is not so simple.
Оказывается, скучная жизнь в частном секторе – this is just a cover. In fact, John and Jane are two elite mercenaries who work for rival agencies. And soon they are sent to eliminate the same goal. The world of the main characters collapses at one moment, when they realize that they may soon lose not only their favorite work, but also each other. They have to decide whether they are so important for each other and was there at least something real and truthful in their false relations?
Изначально на роль миссис Смитт режиссер хотел Approve Nicole Kidman. When Brad Pitt found out that Nicole was leaving the project, he decided to refuse. But the famous Hollywood actor stopped the news that Angelina Jolie could be his partner on the set.
The actors of the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" - both - wereknown for their attractiveness and inclination to break hearts. Many participants in the shooting process noticed that Pitt and Jolie disliked each other from the very beginning. Directed by Doug Laymon compared them with the "two scorpions" in an enclosed space. During this period, the most difficult moments in the film were filmed: the battle of a married couple in their own home. Perhaps that is why the brutal massacre of John and Jane on each other looks so realistic.
However, soon one of the members of the film crew mistakenly or accidentally locked up the actors in one trailer. They had to spend a lot of time there, after which Brad and Angie suddenly hit it off.
Роль Джейн Смит в своем боевике Даг Лаймон entrusted Angelina Jolie and did not lose: the actress did a wonderful job with her work. Maybe because for Jolie playing dangerous women is a usual thing: she appeared on the screen in the form of Sarah the hijacker from “Gone in 60 seconds”, Lara Croft from the video game adaptation of the same name, and also as detective Illeana Scott from the thriller “Taking Lives” and Swindler Bonnie Castle from The Temptation. Now she had to play a hired assassin, but after such a galaxy of “dangerous” images it did not constitute an actress of labor.
As for the dislike of Jolie to the public's favoriteTo Pitt, then, from the point of view of the actress, she was completely justified: Angelina’s father (famous actor) left the family when the girl was very young, and Jolie’s last husband (also known actor) shortly before the filming of “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” left her with little adopted son in his arms. But then the collaboration with Pitt turned into almost the loudest novel of the 21st century with divorces, children's adoptions, joint films and many other interesting facts.
The viewer watched with close attention to this.Hollywood couple. So it is not known if Doug Laimon’s film would be a success if it weren’t the actors. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” is 70% interesting to the viewer precisely because of the unusual and intriguing screen duet.
But Brad and Angie are not the only actors decorating the film. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” was another successful film work for Vince Vaughn.
На этот раз Винс, известный по фильмам «Психоз» и "Cage", played a friend and partner of John Smith in the agency. However, this character turned out to be quite comical: at the age of thirty he lives with his mother and sleeps on the sofa in the living room, is afraid of everything and constantly whines about every occasion. However, the hero of Vince - the only one who does not turn away from John in difficult times.
После участия в комедии «Мистер и миссис Смит» the actor got up quite well: in all subsequent films, Vince Vaughan was offered exclusively leading roles (“American Divorce”, “Dilemma”, “Well-done Father”, etc.)
Also in the picture of Doug Lymon were involvedmany other actors. "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was included in the filmography of actress Kerry Washington. She got the role of partner Jane Smith. However, this project had no effect on the artist’s career, she continues to play minor roles (“Fantastic Four”, “Django Unchained”).
In the action movie “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” actors Adam Brody (“Mystery of Smallville”), Keith David (“Platoon”), Chris Weitz (“My Boy”), Rachel Huntley, Michelle Monaghan (“Source Code”) appeared in episodes.
In Doug Laimon's "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"actors, plot and screenplay played a positive role: the film, at a cost of $ 110 million, collected 478 million at the box office. I must say that this figure was not broken by any of the subsequent projects of the director. Approached similar results except that the "Bourne Ultimatum."
The premiere of the comedy thriller took place on June 72015 in the United States and Kuwait. The next day, the picture was seen by residents of Egypt, Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines and Jamaica. Russian viewers were able to evaluate the screen duo of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt on June 16th.
Instant was the reaction of periodicals toThe film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”: actors, roles, reviews of viewers and film critics - all this was covered by journalists immediately after the premiere. Reviews of the militant turned out to be mostly positive: out of 207 reviews, 122 are positive.
Критики отмечают удачные актерский состав.The presence in the action movie of two real action stars in advance increases the limit of confidence in the material. And in general it is difficult to imagine someone else as special agents: Pitt and Jolie have long established themselves as actors who know how to be tough and touching in the frame.
I was pleased with the smooth genre transitions in the Lymon film: the first 15–20 minutes of a melodrama for housewives, then a half-hour spy detective story, and in the final a real “slaughter” for true connoisseurs of the militants.
Among the negative points of reviewers fromRegular press has noted plagiarism for screenwriters, since in the history of American cinema there are at least two films with the same name and a similar plot. Also about the spouses-pions were filmed the films “The Honor of the Pritzi Family”, “True Lies”, “The War of the Spouses of the Rose” and many other projects.
Nevertheless, the film “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” (“Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) is very popular with ordinary viewers. And the age range of fans of the picture ranges from 16 to 55 years.
And finally, we should not forget that Angelina Jolie has an army of fans, and Brad Pitt has an army of fans who automatically turn into fans of the comedy action movie Dag Laimon.
