Today, the opportunity to make a film is provided to everyone. Provided that he will convince officials who provide financial resources in the success of his project. I must say that many professionals focus the attention of viewers on external effects, vivid pictures and spicy nuances. Yes, this approach often brings the ordered result. According to this scheme, one-day pictures are shot. Alexey Sidorov adheres to a different concept. Cinema is not only a sight. An important component of cinema is the educational function.
Custom start
Children born in places far from big cities are much less likely to make a successful career in life. Yes, the so-called social elevators continue to operate, but very slowly they rise up. And on this route, young people are waiting for traps and ambushes. Not everyone has the strength, education, perseverance and just money. The routine of everyday life breaks forging the most durable characters. The biography of Alexei Sidorov is a positive example, which boys can follow for many more years. On the life path of this person, different situations developed. And he found an opportunity to overcome them.
The famous Russian screenwriter Alexei Sidorov was born on August 22, 1968 in the city of Severodvinsk. The boy’s parents worked in a joint ship repair company. At school, Alex was not a bad student. I read a lot. Constantly visited the local library. Knew how to get along with the guys on the street. The traditions of the coastal town were harsh. Timid and physically weak, any cheeky kid could offend here. The famous director of cult paintings in the future not only watched the surrounding life from the library window, but also took an active part in it. Sidorov was not a bully, but the "street" respected him.
Having received a certificate of maturity, Alexei leaves for Petrozavodsk and enters the historical and philological department of the university. It must be emphasized that already in his school years he wrote poems, short stories, scripts, and notes in the local newspaper. After completing his studies at the university, a certified philologist tried to teach at school, but such work did not attract him at all. In addition to this, family problems arose, and Sidorov moved to Moscow. Little by little acquires useful acquaintances and connections. The dashing 90s were already booming in the yard, and the young man with his own eyes watched the events taking place in the capital.
Outsiders simply don’t know that a lot of different specialists are involved in the film industry. Among them there are highly qualified personnel and laborers. At first, Alexei had to do precisely the “black” work. Of course, in this situation there was also a rational component. In a short time he became a professional in this field. In parallel with his work, he studied at the higher screenwriting and directorial courses, and received a specialized education. A few months later, in 2000, Sidorov was involved in creating the script, according to which the film "The Knightly Romance" was shot.
Russian Hollywood
True fame came to Alexei Sidorov after the release of the series "Brigade". For more than two years he worked on the script. Experts and analysts are well aware that a decent picture can only be shot according to a quality scenario. Sidorov, together with the director, discussed the concept of the film for a long time. If you follow the Hollywood patterns, then you need to "make" an action movie with entertaining episodes and elements of a thriller. But in domestic films, even comedic ones, the meaning of the action, some edification is always visible. It is very important to choose the cast.
The initial stage dragged on for almost a year. In this process, it is difficult to separate true creativity from quality craftsmanship. It is believed that delving into such subtleties is not worth it. According to insightful analysts, the appearance of the "Brigade" in the Russian cinema has become a landmark event. The film was awarded the prestigious TEFI and Golden Eagle awards. Viewers have a model for comparison, and professionals for orientation and role models. I must say that the scriptwriter Sidorov did not become ill with a "star" illness. He took note of all the comments and compliments and made corresponding "nicks" in his memory.
The following tape was written and directed by Alexei Sidorov in 2015. By genre affiliation it can be attributed to the category "sports action movie", with the saying "Shadow Boxing." Today we can say that in this picture the approaches and decisions of American experts are openly visible. At the same time, the meaning of the events taking place on the screen is imbued with the Russian spirit. Watching the actions and character of the protagonist, viewers recognize their children who live somewhere nearby, maybe on a nearby street. It will not be superfluous to say that Sidorov demonstrated deep knowledge of human psychology in his work on this film.
