The one that goes through life laughing

The series "Roksolana - prisoner of the Sultan" was filmed by director Boris Nebieridze in 1996 in Ukraine. In today's episode this unformatted: Each series lasts for thirty six minutes, the story develops slowly, almost phlegmatic, viewers tuning in the lyrical mood of times when TV is not competed with the Internet, and the channels could afford to put long ad units.

"Roksolana - prisoner of the Sultan" is an attempt to remove the current series with the settings from the last remaining Soviet cinema. Scenes of violence are replaced themes of philosophizing on the subject of morality and religion. Spectators are strongly reminiscent of what is happening on the screen is not an example to follow, as the embodiment of a historical injustice that slavery - it is disgusting that the foreign aggressive policy of the Turks was the cause of death of millions of innocent people. The director seems to forget that the audience is quite capable of making their own conclusions, they do not need to explain everything in such detail because the details of the tire and slow down the action.

Those who wish to see explicit scenes this show will bring nothing. It raises moral and spiritual wealth, the well-known rewriting history Roksolany the taste of the writers. In the script, who wrote Denis Teslenko and Leonid muzhuki, Roxolana enters the harem is not to become a concubine, and to be a servant, so the sultan her notes by accident, and not when it decides that it is time to draw attention. From the first moment of contact with Suleiman, Roxolana demonstrates his education and quoted the Qur'an because, supposedly, to enter the palace, visited the special school for slaves, and there learned a lot about the Ottoman Empire and its mores. It defends its independence, than it manages to attract the attention of the Sultan, but regardless, she shows is akin to insubordination and harem she'd threatened with death.

Shine and poverty

"Roksolana - prisoner of the Sultan" series of those that were taken with a small budget with obvious savings on costumes, consultants and makeup. Clothing harem concubines looks ridiculous and poor, the great Ottoman Empire in the period of its prosperity looks like a beggar state, the sultan who can not afford precious stones and expensive jewelry to their wives. For the mid-90s last century, the appearance of any series on the air was already an event, so the quality of such projects is poor.

The only thing that is different in a positive way "Roksolana - prisoner of the Sultan" - a cast member. The main role went to the well-known Ukrainian actress Olga Slutskaya, and the role played Anatoly Khostikoyev Suleiman. The series also stars Nazar Strigun, Les Serdyuk Tatiana Nazarova Raisa Nedashkovskaya, Oleg Isaev and others.

We have to continue the series "Roksolana. Beloved wife Khalifa "and" Roksonala. Mistress of the Empire ", in which we are talking about life at court and Hjurrem approval of his power to build on the throne of his eldest son to rule on his behalf. All three of the girl who became famous all over the world, but born in a small village in the territory of modern Ukraine, conceived and directed by Boris took Nebieridze. The series came to match the era: the poor and the claim to the inner spirituality.
