Andrei and Natasha's Waltz Scene - War & Peace (2016)

Князь может вести себя таким образом, как в этом фильме, только в отношении кухарки ,но никак не в отношение невинной девушки благородного происхождения, еще и представленной ко двору! И пальцем нельзя было тронуть до свадьбы. И на эполеты руку, во время танца ,нельзя было положить. Уже не говоря о том, что актриса, играющая Наташу - с рублем глазу ,как, какая - нибудь, купчиха, а не графиня. А князя актер играет ,как какого - то дешевого соблазнителя, а не героя войны и романа.

And this is the moment when Pierre finally realizes that he loves Natasha as more than just a friend but she is unattainable to him. Paul Dano's acting was superb in this series. The entire series was phenomenal despite the over abundance of commercial breaks.

[@jamiewilliamson1588]

we have the BBC here in Britain, so no commercial breaks!

[@dagorian86]

Respectfully I have to disagree The impression I got was that he had always loved her - probably since they were children. He never said anything because she was always 'unattainable' He grew up as an illegitimate child with no means of his own or prospect of inheritance. He would have known that there would have been no chance that her parents would have consented to marriage. Even if they had, he is so unselfish that he would not want her to live the very modest lifestyle that he could have provided As soon as he became the count he was caught up in a whirlwind and tricked into marriage before he could process what was happening - again making her unattainable. Here was the first time he saw her fall in love with another man. And any dream he had of being with her probably left him at that point I also think Lily James' (is that her name?) acting was easily the best

It's a lovely piece, but the wrong period. Between the Napoleonic era and Tschaikowsky's music lies half a century. The music of Beethoven, Chopin, Strauß senior or Glinka would be the fashion in the early 19th century.

[@v24231]

@@ВикторияШкутова-х7е Стоит посмотреть. Эти две экранизации лежат совершенно в разных плоскостях. Их трудно сравнивать. Я из тех, кто сначала прочитал "Войну и мир", а уж потом смотрел разные киноверсии. И именно поэтому выбор актеров у Бондарчука мне тогда показался не совсем точным. Даже князь Андрей не ассоциировался у меня с Тихоновым, да и сам Вячеслав Васильевич, безусловно величайший актер, сомневался, что из него выйдет настоящий князь Андрей. Элен у Бондарчука вообще неубедительна. Конечно, у Бондарчука присутствует глубокая толстовская философия, впрочем в то время она в фильме показалась мне излишне нарочитой. Хотя с возрастом это ощущение пропало. В версии 2016 попадание в образы по-моему более точное. Пожалуй, только к Наташе Ростовой есть вопросы, может быть, из-за того, что не никак не ожидал увидеть ее блондинкой. Пьер/Пол Дано, по мне, вообще лучший из всех Пьеров. Отлично сыграли старики. Очень хороша княгиня Мария. Впрочем, Толстой потому и гениален, что дал широкое толкование восприятия образов своих героев. Поэтому это лишь мое восприятие увиденного да и прочитанного. И очень хорошо, что оно у всех разное. Универсальную версию, которая бы удовлетворила почти всех, не создать.

Now that many years have passed, I have to say this is the most accurate and beautiful portrayal of Prince Andrei and Natalia falling in love!!!

This movie actually made me a huge fan of Lily James and it's amazing to see how her career has blossomed. No matter how old she gets, whenever I see her in the movies my generation will see her as young, beautiful Natalia from War and Peace. And the music is absolutely breathtaking and it always brings a tear to my eyes to always watch these two fall in love over and over again!!! ❤

At least in Germany and Austria, there are many formal-dress balls for New Year, the 1st of May, carnival etc. Even small villages tend to have their seasonal balls in the local town hall or the largest inn. Some of the venues are beautiful historic buildings. And as long as you do not wish to attend the Opera Ball in Vienna, the entrance fee is quite affordable. Even as a student, I did a lot of ballroom dancing and never felt it ruined my budget. Formal dress can be bought second-hand or hired. The problem rather is that mostly elderly people of a middle- to upper-class background attend because younger people are not interested. At the age of 16, boys and girls usually take their first dancing lessons to prepare for their graduation balls. But afterwards, only few continue. Dancing is no longer considered a necessary aspect of our "education", even more so as Tinder has replaced the dance floor as the space where singles make first contact. As a woman, in particular, it is hard to find a long-term dance partner for advanced lessons and balls these days. I am now living in Ireland and glad to have found a few reliable dance partners -- but all of them are my father's age.

@@ЛарисаМаскаева-ф1б А он до этого бала отчасти и был отрешенно надменным. Это у меня после первого прочтения романа осталось, когда еще фильм Бондарчука не вышел на экраны. А когда вышли первые две части, то наш замечательный словесник посвятил целый урок, у кого какие впечатления. А потом высказал свои. И, знаете, и я, и он, и еще несколько учеников не нашли игру замечательного Тихонова, соответствовавшую моим и их ожиданиям. Да и сам Вячеслав Васильевич был очень удивлен, когда ему Бондарчук предложил роль князя Андрея: "Сергей, ну посмотри на мои руки. Ну, какой из меня Андрей Болконский?" Наташа Ростова-блондинка - для меня, мягко говоря, непривычна. Даже при той же комплекции, будь она брюнеткой, смотрелась бы тростинестей. Эх, ту Наташу Ростову/Людмилу Савельеву бы сюда... А вот Пьер Безухов/Пол Дано приятно удивил. По моему, он все время пытался расширить сценарные рамки и ему было тесно в них. Удивительный актер, принципиально уклоняющийся от голливудских соблазнов.

[@MartySarmaidoff]

"fell for that Anatole shit" isn't completely fair. Lost her head, lied to herself, tried to cover up the pain inflicted by the Bolkonsky's, these do Natasha little more justice. True, it would have been better if she were wiser. But wisdom is innocence fully developed. She gained it. Because she was innocent. Andrei should have known she was innocent. I should have known.

[@Tatiana-pn8qd]

In the book Andrei knew Anatole as a totally vain and stupid person. Anatole was incredibly handsome and that was the only good thing about him. Bolkonsky just couldn’t stand his beloved Natasha left him for someone who deserved only despise. I guess that’s why Andrei could not forgive Natasha.

"Война и мир" Бондарчука - классика. Но эта версия заставила меня совершенно по-другому посмотреть на это произведение. Такое влюбленное, бережное отношение всей команды сериала. Какой потрясающий Пьер! И эта сцена меня заворожила... Каждый раз я плачу и восхищаюсь этим моментом жизни! Надо любить, надо просто любить и все...

[@LILI.OCIMUM]

Как бы потрясающие не был снят фильм Бондарчуком, но все же актеры должны быть максимально близки к своему герою по годам. Я ещё в детстве смотрела "Войну и мир" Бондарчука и то что 45-и летний Бондарчук сыграл 20 летнего Пьера меня сбило с толку. Я никак не могла понять как взрослый мужик может вести себя как ребенок. Но вот Пол Дано всё поставил на свои места. Именно юный Пьер мог вести себя так....... Именно этот фильм запал в моё сердце, неприменно молодой актер должен играть юного Пьера, а не как в нашем фильме. Пол Дано здесь на своём месте, для меня он "сделал" этот фильм. Потрясающий подбор актеров!!!

[@soniaionian7248]

This is the most modern adaptation of Tolstoi’s masterpiece. It’s a BBC production at its best. Cast, Cinematography, Direction are great. I loved Norton and James especially, I have watched it again and again. I wish it were longer, many important incidents are omitted, but if I watch Natasha dancing in the wintry hut or with Count Bolkonski in the palatial mansion, I forgive the script writer. I will always cherish Audrey Hepburn’s Natasha , the BBC older production was very good for its time and more detailed, but the Russian adaptation is the best in my opinion. Still, this is an excellent series, the protagonists are fresh, dashing, they prove their talent again here. Not to be missed!

The best Natasha is undoubtedly Audrey Hapburn, the best Pierre is Paul Dano.

[@TatyanaLACKY]

Вы серьёзно? После Тихонова и Савельевой?!!!

[@v24231]

@@TatyanaLACKY Я говорю больше о Пьере. Что касается Тихонова и Савельевой... Понимаете, в далеком 1966 году в школе проходили "Войну и Мир". А у нас был великолепный энтузиаст-словесник Николай Васильевич, заслуженный учитель. Поэтому роман в классе вовсе не "проходили" с заучиванием "дуба", как это обычно бывает в школе. Тут же подоспели первые две части экранизации Бондарчука. Был организован поход в кино. В общем, Николай Васильевич, посвятил тогда два урока фильму. Вышло так, что я сначала прочел роман, а потом посмотрел фильм. Мягко говоря, фильм классом, а особенно преподавателем был встречен неоднозначно. Больше всего, конечно, досталось Пьеру: "И разве это Пьер!?" Досталось и другим персонажам. Наш словесник сразу сказал, что в роли князя Андрея куда убедительнее бы был тот же Лановой, который действительно великолепно сыграл Анатоля. (Да и сам блистательный Вячеслав Васильевич был далеко не в восторге от роли князя Андрея.) Не понравилась Николаю Васильевичу и сцена на балу: " Помилуйте, ну, почему у Наташи слезы, когда бал едва только начался? И зачем закадровый текст из романа? Без него, что, получилось бы менее убедительно? И отчего Пьер на балу, словно аршин проглотил? В книге не так, не так." Этот урок у меня до сих пор стоит перед глазами... С тех пор прошло много лет. С годами тогдашняя критика стала мне самому казаться излишне придирчивой. И, действительно, киноэпопея оставило глубокий след и у меня. Но говорить, что лучше уже и не поставить, и не сыграть - это оставаться в плену стереотипов. Во всяком случае, в версии 2016 получился именно тот Пьер, который у меня отложился после первого знакомства с романом. Да и княжна Марья, в советской киноверсии отодвинутая далеко на задний план, здесь хороша. Даже князь Василий здесь не выглядит конченым злодеем. А ведь и Толстой увел этот образ от ходульности. Надо просто посмотреть все четыре серии киноверсии ВВС и лишь потом делать выводы. Конечно, это лишь мое субъективное мнение. Уж не обессудьте.
