For the next pipeline project of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe", "Doctor Strange" begins as a real mystical thriller in the type of "Crimson Rivers". But the illusory deception formed in your mind will not last long, quickly turning into an action of visual beauty. The opening fight scene, featuring the main antagonist Kaecilius, played by the brilliant Mads Mikkelsen, not only sets a new tone that is strikingly different from past "universe" films, but also, in order to prepare for further surprises, allows you to look at what is happening from the other side. Having demonstrated the seed in the form of wonderful surrealism and unusual magic, the authors introduce us to the doctor - Doctor Stephen Strange.
As you might guess, the protagonist is a professional doctor, able to take on almost any time-consuming operation. The story of the character is one of the most interesting in Marvel. In the shortest time possible, main writers John Spaites (Prometheus), S. Robert Cargill (Sinister) and director Scott Derrickson (The Day the Earth Stood Still) manage to show the detailed character of Strange, which stands out for arrogance, pride , impressive self-esteem, boorishness, irascibility and, apparently, exceptional faith - faith in oneself. Yes, perhaps Strange is an atheist. Also, he is not devoid of musical taste and knows many performers, ranging from classics to rap and RnB, which is very successfully displayed in very funny and intelligent jokes, backed up by the hero's tactless sense of humor. About such a character as Stephen Strange, in many moments I want to say that he is his boyfriend - humane and making mistakes.
After the accident that Stephen got into on his personal sports car, his attitude to life remains the same - inspiring, moderately sarcastic, and not changing at all, in some places the situation is only aggravated by well-deserved anger at the world ... a world in which he can no longer be a professional neurosurgeon in connection with the injuries. Strange, on a tip from another doctor, finds a man - Jonathan, whom he once refused to operate, thinking that he was hopeless. Jonathan points to one spiritual and magical place - Kamar-Taj, which offers limitless possibilities and reveals the secrets of the mind. This is where fateful events begin. Benedict Cumberbatch did an excellent job with his role, do not insist that this is his best reincarnation, and that he plays at the end of his strength and talent, but you believe him.
Of course, the theme of love has not gone anywhere, because Marvel cannot do otherwise. Rachel McAdams in this regard, perfectly suited the role of Strange's lover. The love line for once does not look kind of ridiculous or feigned, it looks like sincerity, and not like a fleeting interest. The characters have known each other for a long time, once they already met, but with the events that have occurred, their feelings are awakened again. Everything is good and not artificial, and most importantly, nothing distracts from the central story path.
The art, artwork, and graphics may seem like the most beautiful of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Transforming other worlds, work with fiction and imagination, have a truly hypnotizing effect. Just a fairy tale! But with magic and its use, everything is not so enthusiastic, although it also looks great. Stephen's teaching is pretty standard, and some things are sometimes done a little absurdly, from the category - "throw a non-swimmer into the water and he will swim." Unfortunately, this approach is not very appropriate. But if you do not think about various nonsense or such conventions, then there are no nit-picking about the scenario basis and the actions of the characters. Not without dramatic episodes in Doctor Strange, the case when the drama from Marvel is imbued with well-designed and non-irritating characters.
The musical part from Michael Giacchino seems to be solid, but it is solid because the previous films, even with the presence of eminent composers, did not have memorable tracks, they are not here either, just this time they are better than before. The combat scenes are peppy - everything is juicy. Cinematographer Ben Davis ("Kick-Ass", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Avengers: Age of Ultron") seems to have magical abilities himself - the action under the control of his camera is transformed at times.
“Hallucinogenic magic with a psychotropic effect” - this is how you can describe all the chaos that is happening in Doctor Strange. It seems that in the best moments of timing, the creators show us someone's dream - unrealistic and trippy. Unfortunately, not all the tape is saturated with trip, but it will do for the first run - there are still no analogues.
The Marvel Comics movie, which was released in October, stars Cumberbatch as a superhero. Doctor Strange is a neurosurgeon who, after a terrible accident, has lost the opportunity to do what he loves. As he embarks on a journey in search of healing, he discovers his miraculous ability to transform space and time. And it becomes a link between parallel dimensions and a fighter against evil...
In the story, Doctor Strange comes to the villain Dormamm to convince him to leave our planet alone. And he says the phrase: "I came to negotiate." She became the biggest joke on the internet.
The network was flooded with drawings, photos and videos in which this remark is played up in the most diverse way. Most often it is used in the context of negotiations with parents and teachers. And, according to user reviews, the effect of this constructive message is simply amazing!
"You don't know anything, Jon Snow!" ("Game of Thrones")
His beloved Ygritte constantly reminded the hero of this, each time putting a new meaning into this phrase, depending on the context. What gave rise to a wave of the most incredible bullying of the hero on the Internet. “Well, at least I’m handsome…” John retorts in one of the photos. And it's hard to disagree with that!
“You can’t just take it and ...” (“The Lord of the Rings”)
In the film, this phrase is put into the mouth of Boromir. When a council gathers to decide the fate of the ring of omnipotence, he says that you can’t just take and take the ring to Mordor - they say, this is a very dangerous and generally failed undertaking. It turns out that our non-fantasy reality is also full of cases that are comparable to this adventure in terms of difficulty. And most importantly, “You can’t just take it and just take it,” that’s the thing!
"I Like Taking Risks Too" ("Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery")
In one of the scenes of the famous comedy superspy Austin Powers sits down to play cards with the villain. He says that he likes to take risks, to which Powers replies that he cannot live without risk either. And then he loses. When the film was released, the remark was left without due attention, but 15 years later, a screenshot with a grinning Powers and the phrase "I also like to take risks" appeared on the network and immediately became a hit, giving rise to many variations. This meme is still used to point someone out overconfidence.
“And now you come and say…” (“The Godfather”)
There is a scene in the film: Vito Corleone reprimands the gravedigger, who came to him with a request to punish the people acquitted by the court who offended his daughter. To his request, he receives an answer: “You found paradise in America: you had a good business, you were protected by the police, and you didn’t need friends like me. And now you come and say, "Don Corleone, I need justice." But you don't ask with respect, you don't offer friendship. It never occurred to you to call me godfather. No, you come to my house on my daughter's wedding day and ask me to kill for money." The phrase "And now you come and say ..." has gained immense popularity among Internet comedians: it is accompanied, for example, by requests to take out the garbage or tell what time it is. This meme once again reminds: if you ask for something that you are not supposed to, you need to do it politely and with respect, no matter what the nonsense is.
