The film "Battalion", whose exit date fell on February 20, 2015, and a year later showing a televersion on the first - this is a forgotten story about women who went to die. The plot of the historical drama restores historical justice about the participants of the battles of the First World War. Details from the set and interesting facts about the plot of the film - in the material 24cm.
Trenches
Filming the historical film took place in the Pskov region. Especially for filming lined 1.5 km of the trenches. Each of them turned out to be accurate reconstruction restored by archival photos and drawings. The audience also saw cars and telegraph devices of those years.Tears tecli
From the overhead wigs it was decided to refuse. The actresses swank their hair truly, hair cutting machine for those years. When Igor Ugolnikova was asked if she was hard to shave, he replied: "No, it's not hard, although when they are stringly, tears flowed and they have, and we have."
So that the heroines differ, the stylists approached the length of the "hedgehog" individually. And the Moral Spirit of Actresses supported the director and some members of the film crew, who also shaved under zero.
Course of a young fighter
The main composition of the heroine and 200 women from the crowd lived with one camp. The shooting was conducted late autumn and early spring. Ladies in the frame overcame the bar of obstacles, ran through the sand in ammunition and with guns. Beyli is also treated. If the director did not hear weightlifting slaps, then the double was renovated. By the end of the shooting day, the actress Mary Kozhevnikova swelled the cheek, and the colleagues for the frame did not take place the teeth and sat with broken noses."And when one hundred fifty women fled to rifles and bayonets, I, honestly, prayed that none of them deviate from the trajectory, which was asked," the director Dmitry Meshiev was admitted after filming.
External similarity
The film "Battalion" struck the external similarity of prototypes and executors of major roles. Marat Basharov turned out to be surprisingly similar to Kerensky, and Maria Aroneova is similar to the features of the face with Maria Bochkareva, whose prototype played the actress.
Judging by the archival photos, the rest of the performer and the girls from the crowds involved in the frame are also similar to women soldiers of those times. This is due to the fact that the cast was formed, based on archival photographs, and also chose to comply with the rebellious spirit of that time.
Change of role
Initially, Maria Kozhevnikova was supposed to play faith hiddlov. However, pregnancy has changed plans, and the performer played the role of Natalia Tatishcheva. "If earlier in the picture there was only a sacrificial death, now life appeared in it," the Kozhevnikov will say later, which returned to the shooting 2 weeks after childbirth."Error" in the title
In the title of the film "Battalion" appearance at the end of "Kommersant", called "EP", serves to underline the hardness of the consonant. Probably the presence of an excess letter in the name of the film is explained by the desire to immerse in the atmosphere of the last century. However, attentive viewers found a discrepancy and considered that the option "Batalion" would look more interesting.
From external to internal
The film "Battalion" made it possible to reveal Mary Aronova, which immersed from external to the inner. Digging hair change did not bring.
Then specially on the sketches were stitched boots like a Bochkareva. In them, the actress felt like a ballerina. The performer was confused and asked to bring dirty, worn "Kirzachi". And the aronovoy gave two boots: one 40th size, and the other - 41. "This changes everything: the position of the spine, hands, heads. You are another person, "the artist told later, whose tasks were made to make a human character.
And in the reasoning about femininity, the performer who felt the motives of the heroine, said: "... And these three hundred people, bald girls of different classes, and there is probably her children whom she loses ... And I really hope that the thought will sound about the senselessness of death, war "
