Before us is unfolding story of a chameleon, experiencing some difficulties with self-determination in this world. But at the same time, he is endowed with very fertile imagination, literally beating through the region and helping to find a way out of difficult situations, wit, humor and, of course, charm. These qualities helped him gain popularity around – but at heart Rank understands that everything that happens – just another role, played out to them. At this inner conflict of the hero and tied the whole movie.
Fate cruelly throws our hick town in the lizard with the telling name Drought. At the very appearance of its inhabitants becomes clear that the life they are not simple, but the only thing that supports them – the belief in a brighter future (as it is vital!). And at this moment there is a hero, in which all need so much – Rank.
In our area it is called “improvisation”.
All the same, “rank” – more than just a cartoon. It’s a western, of course, with animated parts. This innovation, and perhaps this is a product for adults, not children. Moreover, if you expect to turn off the brain and relax … “rank” can not justify your expectations. Yet, here, there, what to think: after all, the hero is a very difficult path, and not only struggling with a variety of troubles, but also tries to understand who he really is. And still there, something to laugh, that’s for sure! I do not know, maybe it shattered in my own mind, but some things made me laugh hysterically!
“I see you advise to the spirits! – No, I shed. ”
The disadvantages of appearance in the movie I’ll take some of the sayings, which would be better there were not, but we already sort of decided that the more pleasure from viewing adult will receive, is not it? About the fact that the characters are scary-looking … well, not handsome, certainly, particularly members of a family, who tried to rob a bank, but they are not so terrible. I do not think that even in childhood, they would have frightened me. And it was strange to see this film in the context of cute bunnies and furry squirrels.
Everyone has their own way, amigo.
The two most important plus “rank” – Great graphics and music. Perhaps a little of what you’ll find animated film so carefully executed work to the most minute detail. Charms, as the sand pours out of the clutches of rank, when he walked on the dunes as a natural look scales and feathers, the characters, the water droplets. Well, the music … It’s great that the composer here – such a great artist like Hans Zimmer, his music has always characterized the power and passion, and the soundtrack to “rank” – a dynamic, exciting – too much proof of that. Really liked the original arrangement of “Flight of the Valkyries” and the quartet performances owls, happy premonitory main character death.
And, of course, heroes. About the unique charm of Grade I mentioned. Seemed to be opposed to it – Gremuchka Jake, repulsive and attractive in its depravity. Needless to say, Ivan Okhlobystin good. Even too much (just kidding). Bill Nighy as well. Especially watching the original version: and so, with the voice of Jake Bill Nighy as if a different character. Less ironic, more vicious, as many goosebumps.
In fact, a very successful and professional duplication of characters, including the most rank, for which a special thank you.
P.S. I looked not so many westerns for his life, because they are no longer very popular, but the “rank” I conquered. I think that now make sure to check anything else on the great Spirit of the Wild West.
