A mighty, but still young thunderer
It has always been interesting to look at the extraterrestrial and mythical world of Asgard. And such a chance fell to the audience in the 2011 film "Thor" by Kenneth Branagh. And cinema immerses us in the world of fiction, which, by the way, turns out to be not fiction, and the world of Asgard is simply more developed than ours. "And there is no magic, there is a more advanced science." This is about the thought of Arthur C. Clarke, which is voiced here by the main character Jane Foster.
The film is extraordinarily beautiful. The colors are striking in the eyes with their brilliance, especially if you compare the film with the first Captain America. It's very worthy — the ability to show what different worlds are. Tall buildings, a gloss of gold, beautiful asgardians. The creators came up with love for every detail.
Chris Hemsworth really did a great job with the role. At first, he is the arrogant, self-loving prince of Asgard, confidently defies the ice giants with whom his father Alone has been trying to create a world for a long time. He believes that he has the right to decide his own fate, not noticing that politics is undoubtedly behind his actions. And he may well start a new war. Finding himself on Earth without his powers for this, Thor learns to be a man, begins to understand what and how in the vast world. And the actor successfully shows the evolution of the hero. He is handsome, funny where necessary, dramatic. Great game.
Loki, aka Tom Hiddleston, is in no way inferior to Chris. And in many ways even surpasses. The darling of fate, with his motivation of a hunted predator, a deceiver and a cheat. Such is Loki, because fate has decreed so. But already here we see that he is angry, because he is unhappy, he has always been on the sidelines, who was set as an example by his brother. And he's not a villain, but an anti-hero who can't say his word in just one movie.
The work of Maestro Anthony Hopkins is wonderful. Dubbing is a good thing, but once I saw a couple of emotional moments where the actor speaks in the original, I realized that dubbing does not convey all the emotions of Odin, all the pain that came to life in him when Thor behaved incorrectly. Hopkins is a real decoration of the cinematic universe.
Jane Foster, played by Natalie Portman, is good. She feels inner strength, she is purposeful and intelligent, while remaining vulnerable and feminine.
The film is replete with beautiful shots, majestic music, a vivid plot, and, most importantly, shows the transformation of the hero from an inveterate buffoon into a real king.
"Thor" is a great example of a film that combines humor, drama, a clever idea, a good example for the younger generation, there is a hero to look up to.
