Нас уже не удивляет способность Дени быть таким разным И здесь он такой- невероятно брутальный, в прикиде 70ых с длинными волосами и в бакенбардах,и отвратительный ,жалкий, опустившийся старикашка.
И конечно какой фильм с Дени без любовной сцены- она есть.
В общем - тушите свет!!!!

THE ROLE THAT ESTABLISHED DANIEL CRAIG'S CAREER ~

"He's never had a career plan,

just a series of small lucky breaks

leading to bigger lucky breaks,

leading to the sudden realization, after Our Friends,

that he had the power to say no to things.

'And that's what you've got to do.

You've got to hang on and wait."

(excerpt from Elizabeth Grice interview: "The Reluctant Man of War" 12/28/2000)

DANIEL CRAIG AS GEORDIE PEACOCK

"I'm massively proud of 'Our Friends,' Craig admits.

'It was a cracking piece. What British television drama is best at."

(excerpt from Ian Johnston interview with Craig: "The Fantasy Man" 8/19/2000)

"A production where all...worked to serve a writer's vision.

We are not likely to look upon its like again."
The Daily Telegraph

Craig plays Geordie Peacock - who escapes from his abusive father in Newcastle to live in swinging sixties Soho, London where the streets are lined with porn. His life takes a dramatic turn as he quickly becomes a successful foot-soldier for a corrupt club owner, Bennie Barratt (Malcolm McDowell). From then on, through a tawdry saga of frame-ups, drug-deals, jail and homelessness, Geordie enters a relentless downward spiral into dependency, alcoholism and mental breakdown.

It was bloody hard work, but fantastic. I had a chance to play a character that changed and developed over the course of three decades, something very rare for an actor. We spent a year making it in Newcastle and London, and I'm very proud of it, not only because of all the time we invested in it, but also because everyone worked so hard. And it's nice to have a positive reaction from both the critics and the public."

Craig's comments on this series:

"The worst thing as an actor is that you tend to focus on yourself when you're watching, and forget that the audience will be taking in the whole thing. But in this case, for the first time ever, I simply forgot that I was there."

я не претендую на рецензию, но вот захотелось высказать свое мнение.
Скажу сразу, мне нравяться такие сериалы/фильмы/книги отслеживающие судьбы героев на протяжении десятилетий, интересно видеть как человек меняеться под давление обстоятельств, побеждает их ил проигрывает. Наши друзья с севера это такая сага в которой отражены почти все главные события английской новой истории.
Герой Крейга из второй категории. Молодой паренек пытающйша собрать свою музкальную группу, брутальный чуть наглый, но очень трогательный и целеустремленный. Но очень скоро начинаешь понимать что вся эта брутальность наигранная, что перед нами просто мальчик, которого избивал
(и продолжает избивать) отец. Он боиться и ненавидеть отца, пытается стать другим не похожим. Он слабый, он проигрывает эту битву. Он заканчивает жалким стариком, жалким и отвратительным как его отец.
Мне очень понравился и весь сериал (не зря они получил пемию Бафта) и особенно роль Дэниела. Он сыграл мастерски, ему веришь, его жалеешь. Сыгранно все очень достоверно как и весь сериал.

IT SEEMS AN ACT OF FATE,

not just luck,

THAT DANIEL CRAIG WAS cast in THE ROLE OF GEORDIE.

IT IS INCONCEIVABLE THAT THIS CHARACTER

COULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED TO PERFECTION

BY ANY ACTOR OTHER THAN CRAIG.

IN HIS PORTRAYAL OF GEORDIE,

CRAIG reveals THE HALLMARK OF HIS talent

WHICH IS HIS ABILITY TO GET DOWN

TO THE VERY BOTTOM OF HIS CHARACTER'S SOUL

and expose the OVERWHELMING ANGUISH, PAIN,

HELPLESSNESS AND HOPELESSNESS

that have broken THIS human being.

Возможно ли без спец программы (комп не мой, к тому же ноутбук ) где нибудь выкладывать (посерийно например. Типа как с существующим архивом). И закачивать обычным мастером типа ReGet Delux?
Уж очень хочется собрать всю коллекциюего фильмов.
С Инет магами зарубежными связываться как-то не хочется... Денег на НЕГО не жалко (бедная, но не жадная ) Вот и приходится выисквать способы...

JAMES Bond star Daniel Craig’s nomination for best actor at next month’s Bafta Film Awards reminded me of a previous role far from 007.

It’s the first nomination for an actor playing Bond. But those in the know say it’s not just based on his brilliant performance in Casino Royale.

It’s said to be recognition for some of Chester-born Daniel’s previous parts in films such as Layer Cake, Enduring Love and Sylvia.

Older readers may also remember his role in a 1996 Bafta award-winning production, which remains one of the best TV drama series ever screened.

Our Friends In The North was the BBC2 saga of four young people in north east England from 1964 to 1995.

It also has the distinction of having paired Doctor Who and James Bond on screen, in the shape of Salford’s Christopher Eccleston and a younger Mr Craig (pictured together below right).

Daniel played “Geordie” Peacock in the epic tale set against the backdrop of political history, including police and local council corruption in the sixties and the rise of Thatcherism.

As you can see, he looked very different to today’s suave Bond image. At one stage in the story Geordie ended up destitute in London.

Co-starring Gina McKee and Mark Strong (with Daniel in top picture), the series came to a memorable conclusion with the Oasis track Don’t Look Back In Anger.

If you haven’t seen it – or want to enjoy it all over again – Our Friends In The North is available on DVD and comes highly recommended.

*And talking of looking back, I popped into the Design Museum in London yesterday for another look at their Designing Modern Britain exhibition.

It includes exhibits related to Manchester’s Hacienda in the 1980s, as well as New Order and Factory Records.

Once to be found in London’s Haymarket, the Design Museum is now located in Shad Thames, one of my favourite places in the capital, next to Tower Bridge.

Charles Dickens set part of his novel Oliver Twist nearby and scenes in the 1968 film were filmed there.

It's also been the location for many other movies, including Bridget Jones’s Diary and A Fish Called Wanda.
