Crime and Punishment 2002 Raskolnikov vs Porfiry

[@kviegilius8324]

Where's the part where Raskolnikov laughs like a maniac and says "that's right... I am Kira..."

[@endlessnothing.]

Where's the part where Raskolnikov takes an axe and shouts "Hey, Paul!"

[@nolaughingmatter]

Outstanding interpretation of Porfiry by Ian. Porfiry was always a character who fascinated me. There is an undercurrent of tongue-in-cheek insolence towards Raskolnikov. The best interplay of psychological warfare in any literature or film I've ever seen.

[@TheRaveJunkie]

Came here to write exactly this. I'm not a fan of crime fiction, but the dialogues between Raskolnikow and Porfiry were the most intense I had ever read. Few, lets call it scenes, of a book, burned themselves as deep into my memory as these. Truly fascinating characters.

[@Jiggelmeister]

Man this is an excellent depiction of Porfiry. He seems so non threatening but he’s really a monster.

[@Bored_Trumpet]

You should check out the Soviet 1969 version. Much better portrayal.

[@rokmarkovinovic8653]

But why is he exactly a monster? Maybe just very passionate about his work and evidently very good at it. After all, there's nothing wrong about wanting to put a cold blooded killer behind bars.

[@Jiggelmeister]

@@rokmarkovinovic8653 you’re right, porfiry is a hero in this story. It’s just his tactics and manipulation. If a bad guy did it it’d be terrifying.

[@simonjones7727]

Perhaps just a little too much "business" in Ian McDiarmid's portrayal, although the laughter and odd affect of Porfiry are there in the text.

[@LeGronk]

@@rokmarkovinovic8653 "monster" is a bit excessive but I think the point is that he's a master at dissembling and mindgames.

[@oscarhaydenperditionbound1195]

Shows that not all psychopaths are killers. Some of them are government officials. Porfiry played Raskolnikov’s emotions like a fiddle and loved every minute of it.

Why is Porfiry a psychopath? He is literally a good detective.

[@winterreise694]

No man, credits to porfirio, he was a great detective and conducted his will masterfully imo

[@JohnnyJohnny-f5o]

I wouldn't call him a psychopath. There's a difference between enjoying your job of bringing a murderer to justice and disregarding all justice altogether - which is generally how you would describe a true psychopath

[@millicentbystander5206]

This Raskolnikov is too well fed, too clean and healthy looking, altogether too bland - in the novel Raskolnikov is a sick man, weak with hunger and shivering with fever, and with an intensity that this actor fails utterly to bring to the screen.

[@tadhg3]

Couldn't agree more. Check out the full 1970 russian movie here in YT, that actor absolutely nails it.

[@voraciousreader3341]

I agree, 100%. I haven’t read the novel in years, but Dostoyevsky’s characterization of Raskolnikov is one of the first that hits you, and remains with you, until he breaks down. The guy in this dramatization looks like he’s going on an audition for a new boy band, or something....he’s hardly the pitiable creature we’re introduced to and learn to feel sorry for, despite the fact that he committed murder. Which was an act of utter desperation, after all.

[@cheeseandonions9558]

I agree... Raskolnikov is mentally barely able to continue his life. He's shrewd at lying but he's definitely tired of it. When Porifiry offers him water is the difference between the UK and Russian versions.

Holy sh*t the actor really did a good job portraying Porfiry..

[@voraciousreader3341]

Too bad the actor playing Raskolnikov is so utterly miscast. I couldn’t watch it, bc there’s no motivation for him to murder the pawn broker, is there? He doesn’t look skinny or sick, he’s not shivering with fever, he’s just not Raskolnikov. The BBC doesn’t usually make this kind of mistake.

​@@esunsalmista Rather pointless joke...

[@cheeseandonions9558]

That's true, but he's still supposed to be be old enough to act as the father figure for Raskolnikov, not just a colleague. Or at least the oldest brother who wishes the best for his younger sibling.

[@fedoristvan290]

Certainly inspired by Porfiriy.

[@zazuzazz5419]

Oh, yes indeed. It’s on record stated that Porfiry is verifiablyThe prototype: he pre-dates every relentless investigative inspector our world has come to know and to love. “Uh - one more thing...” 🔍

[@huntervelicky7502]

Just ONE more thing...

[@mandiola2010]

I though the same while reading the book.

[@simonjones7727]

That is completely beyond doubt as Link and Levinson (who created Columbo for Universal Studios) said that this was their model. You can actually see how Peter Falk would have played this scene, as the character, and I am not sure if the TV detective actually might get closer to what Doestoyevsky writes than what is shown here , good though these performaces are. Colombo is deceptively unthreatening, flatters his suspects (he is always their "biggest fan") is short and physically unpreposessing. He just happens to be the greatest criminal detective that ever lived, an avenging angel, whose home we never see and who materialises at the crime scene from nowhere in every episode. As far as I can tell, it is the commonplace nature of Porfiry's observations and chat that lulls and disconcerts Raskolnikov and I am not sure that is quite caught here in translation.

[@h0lly_blue]

Palpatine vs The Master

[@omerfarukbodur4503]

Good acting, but the scene doesn't fit to what's written in the book. Porfiry doesn't give any clue about his surprise, but here he says "I locked him.."

I was in this production, as one of the students. It was in Petersburg about 2001 or so. I remember chatting with Sonya and a bit with Raskolnikov. I never talked to this actor who does Porfiry.

Porifiry is supposed to be way more fatherly and way less psychopathic than this weird interpretation. But the acting is first class, so I shall resist myself from downvoting this..

[@travisg1518]

In the book the investigator is a 35 year old man, not a 60 something retired gent. By 60, he probably would've been on a pension, so this depiction isn't realistic. Also the abridged version of the book much better than the unabridged version, which is a sequence of windy and doleful sermons spoken from different characters. Very hard for me to believe, even in the 1860s, that people spoke as if reciting some lengthy essay, so dialogue in the book is a big turnoff for most readers.

[@lisanova125]

Believe it or not, they spoke like that. Also, they looked much older than we do now and grew up faster. Hello from Russia. )
