It seems that before the coming new 2014, the whole world stopped not so much in anticipation of the holiday, but in the preference of the exit to the screen of the third part of the popular television series with Benedict Cumberbetch in the lead role. The premiere was announced for the first January. And the result did not deceive expectations. Solemnly buried in the previous series of Sherlock Holmes rose from the dead and, no matter how it happened, returned to his apartment in the center of London on Baker Street.
About whims of fate
It has long been noticed that it is simply impossible to calculate the success of one or another project in cinema. The real glory of the British actor overtook after the famous television series about Sherlock Holmes. But the way to her was not so short.
It cannot be argued that before that film was not known to Benedict Cumberbatch. His biography was saturated with events, and filmography - bright acting works in cinema. But they all suddenly faded in front of the immortal detective of Sherlock Holmes. Somehow even was not easy to believe in the promise of such a project. The fact is that the book is familiar with everyone since childhood and has already been successfully fused on dozens of times in many countries of the world. But Benedict Cumberbatch - Sherlock Holmes is now forever. He ended up in this role convincing, like no other. Even though exist within the framework of this role was accounted for both two historical era.
Where did it start
The future actor was born on July 19, 1976 in London. There is every reason to assume that this person was doomed to his destiny since childhood. Parents Benedict Cumberbatch - famous British actors Wanda Ventsham and Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch (better known under the scenic pseudonym Timothy Carlton). Primary education The boy receives in prestigious schools Brambaltai and Harrow. Young Benedict grew in the acting environment and on stage debuted back in school years. The question of choosing a professional career in front of him practically did not occur, everything was predetermined in advance.
Benedict Cumberbatch chose the path in childhood, which in the future will lead it to the top of success. But the road to the tops of professional skill was not so cloudless. Light success if sometimes someone overtakes, then it does not happen long. Ultimately, everyone gets what he deserved.
Far countries
In order to tell his word in any field of art, not enough of the initial potential called by talent. We also need life experience. Of course, a positive factor for further development was the fact that after graduation, Benedict is taking a journey around the world. It lasts about a year, the future actor even teaches English in the distant Tibetan monastery. This made it possible to deeper the life occurring outside the British capital before returning to it and continue the path chosen as early as a child.
Returning to his homeland, he continues to study the acting skills in the University of Manchester. And after his end, he completes its education in the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. In the student years, the Future Sherlock Holmes meets the actress Benedict Cumberbatch and his girl were together than twelve years. They broke up only in early 2011.
In the theater and on television
Benedict Cumberbatch, which will be interested in numerous fans and stars fans only after years, began his professional career at the beginning of the two thousandths on the stage of London theaters Royal-Court, Almeida and the Royal National. And a few later took an active part in a number of popular television projects.
The beginning was bright enough. The actor Benedict Cumberbatch did not remain unnoticed by both the public and professional criticism. Its roles were expressive, textures, and each subsequent often had a strongly unlike the previous one. He knew how to be unexpected, was obviously not an actor, initially closed on some particular type of embodied characters.
Starting with sufficiently modest in terms of volume and the values \u200b\u200bof the roles in such series, as a "silent witness", "golden fields" and "heartbeat", the actor managed to attract the attention of producers and directors and gain sufficient number of favorable critical assessments of their work. It ensured further advancement towards professional success.
In a large cinema
Actor Benedict Cumberbatch, whose biography has recently turned out to be inextricably linked with the image of the brilliant detective of Sherlock Holmes, is interesting, besides this, also a number of other bright work. In a large cinema, his debut can be considered the image of William Pitt in the film from Michael Eppieda film "Amazing Lights" on the screens. The role of the actor in this tape was indicated as a "breakthrough of the year" and brought Benedict to the award of the London Society of Film Crims.
Two years later, he brillally performed the role of the closest associate Charles Darwin in a biographical film about the outstanding English scientist. There were also several works not very significant largest, but very bright on execution. One way or another, the actor entered the discharge of the stars of the first magnitude. There was no more need to explain to anyone who Benedict Cumberbatch. His personal life became interesting to the reporters of the "yellow press", and this is the easiest criterion of fame and the achieved success. No matter, it likes it to someone or not.
"Fifth power"
In September 2013, the public was presented the last work of the actor in a large cinema. In this film, Benedict Cumberbatch performed the role of the famous journalist Julian, the founder of the scandalous site of Wikilix. This picture, as it is called, was doomed to success, since the narrative in it is done about events in the information world, which occurred quite recently and were actually not yet completed. Intrigue is not fully exhausted both in life and in the film.
Benedict Cumberbatch, growth (193 cm) and the external data of which are questioned by its similarity with the main character, plays very convincingly. Its execution of this role corresponds to the criterion that has always imposed its actors a great Russian director K.S. Stanislavsky.
Sherlock
With all the unconditional significance and expressiveness of the work of the actor in the theater, on television and in cinema, they were only a kind of preface for the leading role of his life. Of course, it was the same chance that many creative personals are waiting for all their lives (and most of them leave life, and without waiting).
Benedict Cumberbatch, the role of which in the cinema was characterized by paradoxicality, expressiveness and dissimilarity in one to another, managed to prepare well for his star o'clock. He not only played brilliantly himself, but also asked the tone to the entire acting ensemble, working on this television project. In a duet with the performer, Dr. Watson Cumberbatch solves a whole complex of the most difficult acts.
For a long time, the idea was already expressed that in order to convincingly playing a genius, you should be myself. In order for the genius, it does not look parody and was rich only in those situations where it is provided by the copyright. And in the series about Sherlock, everything was incredibly complicated by the shift of the historical era in more than a century. Calculate was immediately two temporary measurements.
Adaptation of the literature of the Victorian era
The scenarios of the television series and did not hide the fact that their intention was initially built under Benedict Cumberbet. And the main difficulty was to organically postpone the action from the Victorian era at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It was necessary to do it so that Sir Arthur Konan Doyle did not disappear anywhere, and that his heroes would not look fake, being transferred in our days.
Scripts of their part of the work performed simply brilliantly. The sense of action never failed. By the way, it was far from the first job of the authors in this direction. A little earlier they have already made creatively processing the works of Robert Lewis Stevenson and adapting them to modern times. This experience was recognized quite successful and commercially successful.
Characters and images
There are practically no passing characters in the television series. Mostly, they have their legitimate prototypes in Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about the numerous adventures of Sherlock Holmes. But the similarity is not direct. Most often it is sparkling, grotesque and cartoon. But in this way, the projection of the Victorian era to the world of digital computer technologies and virtual reality should look like the projection of the British.
Perhaps the most controversial embodiment is the image of the main villain - James Moriarty. It turned out unnecessary caricature and more like a unhealthy tired clown than on the genius of the criminal world. But all other actors are depicted quite worthy, with a characteristic subtle English humor. The entire visual series of the film will amaze a sense of style anywhere from London the era of the unforgettable Queen Victoria.
Benedict Cumberbatch: personal life of the actor and his hero
One of the main humorous acts of the series is doubtful in the sexual orientation of the characters. In almost every series of the film, his two main characters are forced to justify that they are no gay, but simply work together and live under one roof. In this not really believes even their apartment hostess Mrs. Hudson. But the great and unique detective of Sherlock Holmes self-deplexed and without a residue is immersed in his work. He is not at all to his personal life. So he is an unusual person.
But the performer of this role, which became a superstar, the reporters of the "yellow press" and simply curious people are not left alone. Of course, the actor Benedict Cumberbatch became interesting to everyone. Its personal life even more interesting than filmography and creative plans. But such is human psychology, and therefore unemployment does not threaten the "yellow press". At the same time, the actor himself prefers his personal life not to advertise. The questions of curious meets only that the children have no children yet, but he hopes that in the future they will appear.
To be continued
The enchanting success of the first three seasons of the series could not remain without consequences. Both the public and his creators occupies a completely reasonable question that to do next. Spectators want to see the continuation, and the screenwriters, producers, director and actors are simply forced to tensely think about how not to disappoint the respected public. And, most importantly, the literary material fully allows the further development of already scheduled plot lines.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, telling about the extraordinary adventures of the great detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful assistant Dr. Watson, is very different. Dozens, if not hundreds, images, characters and promising plot strokes. And this makes it possible to continue the continuation of the work and consolidation of the achieved success. Currently, work is underway to create the fourth and even fifth season. About when we can see it all, it is still premature to say.
