"Boy Kills World" - a trash action movie?

Russian localization of foreign film titles is a separate form of art... one cannot say that the original title is the same."Boy Kills World" - the peak of perfection, but translation "Boy against everyone"seems to downgrade the film Morica Mora to the level of niche arthouse work in the style of trash action. But it doesn't seem like that's the case.

First, the Sam Raimi - an experienced filmmaker, and he has not only “The Evil Dead” and “Spidermen” to his credit, but also a cult action film with JCVD "Difficult target". The same cannot be said about the series "Spartacus" and "Xena - Warrior Princess", which are aimed at the widest possible audience. A trained eye Reimi is unlikely to allow him to produce trash films; he probably sees the director of the film “Viva Berlin!” potential.

Secondly, “who shot” “It”, Bill Skarsgard. The actor already has a name, and the main role in remake of the legendary "Crow" can elevate it to the big leagues, despite the understandable indignation of the audience who caught the original "The Crow"in adulthood. This generation does not particularly like Marvel films, but this does not really affect their popularity, does it?

Thirdly, of course - Yayan Ruhian, is a silat master and fight choreographer who has become a sought-after professional after the sensational "Raids". Today, every promising martial arts film should have Rukhyan in its cast. And in "To the boy killing the world"He plays the main character's mentor.

Despite the fact that it is not the star of "The Raid" who is working on staging the fight scenes, this fate did not fall on a newcomer to fight choreography. David Jatarski - an experienced Polish martial artist who worked in "Ong-Bak 3" together with Tony JAA, film series"Kingsman","black widow" And "wonder woman","Akimbo cannons", as well as in the above-mentioned film directed by Moritz Mohr - "Viva Berlin!".

Also starring in the film: Jessica Rothe, Famke Jansen, Sharlto Copley, Andrew Koji, Isaiah Mustafa, Brett Gelman, Michelle Dockery, and others.

Action movie scriptBoy against everyone"wrote Arend Remmers, Moritz Mohrand Tyler Burton Smith, who is also listed as the screenwriter for the upcoming sequel to the acclaimed hit."Kung Fury".

Thriller announced back in 2021, which also does not imply a product made by amateurs “on the knee” and with a quick hand. But what is the film about? There is an interesting point here:

A dystopian action film about Boy, a deaf guy with a vivid imagination. When his family is murdered, a mysterious shaman trains him to suppress his childhood imagination and become an instrument of death.

That is, Fight is not "guy"and certainly not"boy". This is the name or pseudonym of the main character, which already adds a play on words to the title of the film - "Fight kills the world", - from the original, which could be upgraded in the Russian version in "Fight against everyone". Agree, this would sound much more serious than the current title. And if you really immerse yourself in the context, filled, in addition to action, with the drama of a boy who saw with his own eyes the death of his parents and lost his hearing along with his voice... just imagine how much the perception would change paintings with a symbolic title "ECHO OF SILENCE" along with the "Boy against everyone"But these are already fantasies...

The film will be broadcast in cinemas on April 26, 2024, but for now you can admire the fresh posters.
