Director Yuri Egorov shot films about people who meet every day, in simple scenarios, with a slight bloat, without famous plots. But they looked at millions and empathized with the heroes as native, because the stories told the stories were understandable and close, full of love and compassion.Childhood and youth
Yuri Pavlovich Egorov was born in the resort town of Sochi in May 1920. The creative biography of the author's life stories began immediately. At the end of the school, the young man entered the Aviation Institute. Only by receiving a diploma of the technical university, Yuri has crossed the threshold of Vgika, chose the course of Tamara Makarova and Sergey Gerasimov. The debut for the travelers was the famous film "Young Guard" teacher.
In the drama received by the Stalinist Prize, Inna Makarova, Nonna Mordyukova, Sergey Gourzo, also starred. The novice director of Egorov made himself as an actor with a secondary character of Raaband.
Films
Yuri Egorov worked for 30 years, while every 2 years the picture came out, which he directed or wrote a script. The first independent work of Egorov released at 33 years, together with another Gerasimov student Yuri Victorious. This is an adventure tape "Case in Taiga".
In 1956, the screens came to the screens to the formation of the Komsomol organization "They were the first", which is considered one of the largest projects of Yuri. The film involved the future stars of the Soviet cinema George Yumatov, Mikhail Ulyanov and Mark Bernes. Student Gorovsky - the character of the novice artist Mikhail Derzhavin. In the picture, the songs of Frakdina and Evgenia Dolmatovsky were sounded.
With this musical tandem, Egorov collaborated while working on the film "Volunteers". The scenario was based on the poetic novel Yevgeny Alexandrovich. The film told about the generation of young people of the 30s, embraced by enthusiasm and romantics, the desire to be the first and not fear of difficulties.
The characters of the paintings did not retreat on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War and overcome the post-war burdens, survived heavy losses and rejoiced the first labor feats. The director again invited Mordyukov to the shooting area, as well as Leonid Bykov and Elina Bystritsky, Lyudmila Ivanov and Peter Shcherbakov. The names of some participants, subsequently glorifying the Soviet and Russian cinema, were not even indicated in the credits. In 1959, Volunteers were awarded the third premium at the All-Union Film Festival in Kiev.
In the 70s, Egorov shot a dilogy about aviators, with a risk of developing a new technique. The drama "For the clouds - the sky" is devoted to test pilots and aircraft manufacturers. The roles of representatives of brave professions went to Vladislav Nobareshkom, Vadim Zakharchenko, Stanislav Mikhina. The song from the film "There, behind the clouds" entered the repertoire of the ensemble "Gems".
In the second part "There, behind the horizon", Yuri's daughter appeared, Elena. Her heroine, an aircraft carrier engineer, is trying to reach the heart of the new employee who came to the team, but nothing but working that does not notice. The image of a fanatical rationalizer was instructed by Yuri Bogatyrev.
In the filmography Egorova there are not only patriotic tapes. Especially occupied by the decision of the production issues, the characters of Yuri are the same simple people as the audience, they are also typical sometimes to forget about work and high goals, being drawn into the cheerfulness of feelings and emotions.
In the tape "Communion" of the city engineer performed by Oleg Efremov goes to the collective farm to deal with the breakdown of the unit designed by him. And it would seem, this is a private trip that should end like all previous service business trips. But the measured existence of the hero turns cool after a meeting with a rustic resident, and problems with the technique are fascinated against the background of personal experiences.
In 1966, Egorov shielded the story of Julian Semenov Dunechka and Nikita. In a kinema, called the "Not the most successful day", a daughter of the Dasha writer, who became the on-screen daughter, the heroes Svetlana Svetlynnaya and Vladimir Zamansky. The key characters embodied Nikita Mikhalkov, Olga Gobzev, Nina Sazonov and Igor Kvasha. In the film, as many times told critics and viewers, the atmosphere of the arrival in the country of Khrushchev thawed, a leisurely narration permeated with kindness, lyricity and hope.
In the melodraman "Simple History", the verge of Nonna Mordyukov's talent was shone in full force. Spectators are monitored not only as a heroine due to a strong character and support for fellow villagers turns from the ordinary collective farmer in the demanding and rigid chair. No less interest causes a love line - whether the woman will be able to see the subtle feelings for their principle and not scare away the hero Mikhail Ulyanov.
The actress, not when familiar with a collective farm life, spoke with almost co-author of the film scenario. Yuri took a lot from the fact that Nonna told, whose mother was translated from the collective farm to the collective farm to restore the farm.
The leadership of the melodrama "Once 20 years later" in the role of the main character raising 10 children, they saw only Natalia Gundareva, although Samples took place and Lyudmila Savelyev, who brilliantly played Natasha Rostov in the epopea of Sergey Bondarchuk "War and Peace". The expressiveness of the remaining characters were provided by Oleg Efremov, Viktor Proskurin, Igor Yasulovich, Leonid Yakubovich.
The comedy "Fathers and grandfathers", which became the fruit of the joint work of Yuri Egorov and writer Arkady Inin, told about the representatives of the three generations of men performed by Anatoly Papanov, Valentina Smirnitsky and the grandson director Alexei Yasovilovich. All three fall into the ridiculous, and sometimes dangerous situations. Everyone - in their motives: the elders - to prove that they are too early to write off from accounts, the younger - that they do not need independent personalities and do not need care.
In the scenario to the post-war drama "Wind of Wanders", Yuri united Mikhail Privina's works. The film initially gave the name "inadvertent joys", possibly, based on the plot, in which good people helped the orphans in search of the Father. After all, the support of an unfamiliar person in a long road is really happy and does not give to lower his hands.
