Suspicious, but healthy
The main character is 19-year-old Calvin. Because of excessive suspiciousness he left College after the first semester, and now works at the airport with his father and brother, unloading the Luggage. Free from simple labor time it measures the temperature of itself and considers the pulse, carefully recording the results in the “Ledger”. Calvin sure is terminally ill, although all the expensive tests, for which he and the money is there, testify to the contrary.
Cheerful but terminally ill
To psychologically shake the young man, the doctor sends Calvin to a support group of cancer patients, where it meets the sky — 16-year-old smiling girl in a colorful wig that dies for real. And he knows about it. The doctor gives group members a task to make a list of desires, which they postponed, and execute them. Kelvin no desire (except the desire to get sick). Therefore, proactive Skye takes it in turn and makes an accomplice in the execution of their desires.
Recognizable…
A similar scene node is not new. “30 crazy wishes” you can find the reflections of several tapes on a similar topic, it would, in fact, desire. In the picture there are elements:
- melodrama “the Fault in our stars” Josh Boone (young people meet in support group and fall in love with each other),
- tragicomedy “me, Earl and the dying girl,” Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (unsociable student supports childhood friend, sick with leukemia),
- Comedy “is not the bucket list” Rob Reiner (two retired embody the desires of their bucket lists).
…and reliably
A list of similarly themed films — sources of potential borrowing — is long. However, the effect of deja vu, which is called “30 insane desires”, is not a disadvantage, because the tape none of these papers directly not copies. And at the same time, thanks to its chamber character, is deeply immersed in the reality. And it, unfortunately, cancer is responsible for 16% of deaths in second place, after cardiovascular diseases (according to 2016).
Doesn’t sound crazy
Desire the sky is quite consistent with her young age and rather extravagant (for example, to commit theft from the store), than insane. Their rapid implementation of forms of Comedy “platform” of the film. Humor here, carve, pushing the main character, is a courageous girl who finds the strength to smile the abyss, and indecisive young men blowing on cold water. And also — thanks to the bright “fashion show” comedian Ken Jeong. He played a sympathetic policeman, ready for the heroes to break the law.
The miracle of mutual
“30 crazy desires” ( “30 salena bagani”) — local name, with whom the film will be released in Ukrainian rental. The original title of picture — “Then Came You” — translated two ways: “Then came (come) you.” He, unsurprisingly, more in line with the contents of the tape, in which life-affirming laughter passed through the tears of catharsis. Helping Skye to leave with dignity, Calvin gradually finds the strength to live and struggle with the inner demons that he has in abundance.
Young talents
Really convincing that history is made by young performers of the main roles, with restraint and in the case of showing your creativity. ACE Butterfield in the role of Calvin shows an intrinsic voltage using small, measured but identifiable emotions in order, at the right time (and very briefly), release the spring. Maisie Williams alternates between masculinity and vulnerability, revealing the blatant artificiality and naturalness, creating a confident image, standing on the brink of life and death (which, in General, should not be surprising, given that the main role of his young career she’s already eight years takes in the TV series “Game of thrones”, where deaths are excess).
