Titres
This film is the real story of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the legendary female sniper. The fate of this fragile girl coolly changed the war. Soviet soldiers went into battle with her name on the lips, and the enemies arranged her hunt. On the battlefield, she saw the death of people and suffering, but love was the most tragic test for her. She fell to lose his relatives and friends, but to find the friendship of the first Lady of the US Eleonora Roosevelt. Her speech in America influenced the course of World War II. She won all his battles - like a soldier, as a diplomat and as a woman.
- Julia, how was your preparation for the role?
- Preparation for filming was for one and a half years. It all started with the fact that somehow we met with director Sergei Mokritsky at his kitchen. And then in the course of our repeated meetings, in the kitchen, the wonderful ideas were born, which were then embodied. He gave me to read different books - both about Lyudmila Mikhailovna and about other snipers. I advised what films to revise: "Human Child", "Go and see", "Pearl-Harbor", "save ordinary Ryan" ... And then I read the book "The war is not a female person." I read on the page with breaks, because read more than the page, my psyche could not stand. It was a very interesting and rich period, full of new discoveries. And not only about the identity of Lyudmila Pavlichenko, but in his own itself, something opened something every day.
- And from a physical point of view, what should I learn?
"A teacher who would stand in front of us and said:" Today we learn this, tomorrow - that, "we did not have. We ourselves were all mastered: we went to the shooting range of combat weapons, they were engaged in military training ... We had such a person in the picture - Seryozha Prize. He even looks like a partisan of the First World War, such a beautiful fanatic. He came to me in the theater, wore a rifle for me so that I could work with it at any convenient case ... The director of Seryozha Mokritsky somehow got us all right, and the hours already went. And it was already difficult to stop, everyone worked on their own initiative, no one forced anyone.
"During filming was the moment when I thought:" Everything! I am the end! " - remembers Julia Peresilde. Frame from the film "Battle for Sevastopol".
- What shooting day seemed to you the most difficult?
- Everything! There was not a single shooting day that would not be difficult. With the exception, perhaps, American scenes. But it was not easy there, since it was necessary to utter three-minute monologues in English, which I am not very good. Yes, before the executor of the role of Eleonora Roosevelt - actress Joan Blackham, who speaks in pure English. It was also a kind of load. But really was the moment when I thought: "Everything! I am the end! " In the film, in the end, twenty-slices were included in the film, when we run on the swamp on the girls - and we shot this episode seven days. In the heat, wet through, in full outfit, with sapper blades on the Pop and frogs in Kizzy boots, because just ran out of the swamp ... And at some point I understood: "Everything, now died! Just die! " And there are some girls around me: they are crying, someone has a hysterical ... and I thought that if I now say that I was tired, if I stop, no one would run further. And so on, with tears, snot, - forward!
- During samples to this film you were in the seventh month of pregnancy. What was the daughters - and the newborn, and the older - and leave for shooting?
- They were not left. Everyone was with me. I was accompanied by traffic from my whole family. (Laughs.) And we moved through all the cities in this oss: in Sevastopol, then - in Odessa, Kiev, to Western Ukraine, again in Odessa and again in Kiev ... And so we traveled all year.
Leonid Kizhenko, Sniper-partner Luda Pavlichenko and her biggest love, played Evgeny Tsyganov. Frame from the film "Battle for Sevastopol".
- Probably, it was good moral support?
- It would be even greater moral support, if I had not had to organize everything. (Laughs.) In fact, it was very hard.
- Your daughters, first of all, the eldest, already understand what are you actress?
- I'll tell you anymore: she herself is already an actress. She will now play Robert Wilson in the theater of Nations: he approved it on the Ma-a-scarlet role of some bunny. Will jump on stage. (Laughs.)
- Does she watch your films?
- Looks, discusses, reasoning, criticizes. Everything is fine!
- What do you think playing such a strong woman like Lyudmila Pavlichenko, did you change yourself?
"I don't know if I changed." But I can say that hardly parted with this role. I have never had such a thing. For the first time in my acting biography I wanted to cry when the shooting ended. It was very painful. Luda conquered me. And continues to admire so far.
