Conquerors of Heaven "Top Gun" directed by Tony Scott was created as a typical literate film of the mid-1980s today. An interesting era in cinema, an interesting picture with Tom Cruise in the title role. This is a very beautiful visual realization of the boundless skies, where the heroes are their conquerors, who time after time soar up on winged combat vehicles. The film gave a lot of pleasant impressions thanks to the diverse cast, where almost every name is known in one way or another. Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, Meg Ryan, Kelly McGillis, Michael Ironside, Rick Rossovich, Tim Robbins and others. A fairly simple plot, where there are a lot of brave guys in the center of events. Each of them is ready to serve the Motherland, achieve their goals, soar into the skies, conquer beautiful women. In the center of the plot is the self-confident hero of Tom Cruise, nicknamed the Tramp, who, already being a skilled pilot, goes to the best squadron to join the most skilled military pilots. He has a best friend and partner, Goose, who was embodied on the screen by Anthony Edwards, playing a wonderful comrade. Meg Ryan in the role of the latter's wife, named Carol, performed just brilliantly. Even though her appearance in the film was not long, the girl gave a wonderful scene of a conversation with a Tramp closer to the finale of the picture, which was hard on the soul. Val Kilmer is also good. His Ice became a worthy competitor to the Tramp, the tension from the confrontation of which hung in the air for almost the entire picture. The plot of the film does not shine with something extraordinary. This is a good film, even in its philosophy, where brave military pilots are ready to serve their country and valiantly fulfill their duty. The painting is ready to impress with several interesting moves, but no more, remaining a pretty creation of its Reagan time. The picture is intended primarily to show the story of the hero Tom Cruise, the evolution of this character, who is used to winning everywhere and in everything, breaking the rules, coming out victorious from any situation. Life becomes a harsh teacher, throwing an unprecedented test to this young man. The tramp is changing, evolving, thanks to the help of his comrades, he finds his place in the sky again, where he has always been a master and felt confident. It should be noted that the script and the game of Cruz perfectly convey the story of this new formation of the main character, allowing you to empathize with the hard thoughts of the Tramp. After all, he loses faith in himself, having fallen painfully from a kind of Olympus of life. However, sometimes such a fall is necessary for everyone to remember that we are all human beings, we tend to make mistakes. Falls only strengthen and allow you to rush up with renewed vigor. The picture is really simple. But she teaches you to be an admirer of your work, to be able to love, to be a good friend and support in a team where even in competition everyone remains a true friend to each other. There is no tearful drama here, but there is an understanding of what it is like to be a true friend, someone's true love. The film successfully combines excellent visual solutions, high-quality sound, an interesting plot and a good ending, where the antagonists will finally appear. 7 out of 10
