Why is the American television seriesthe Russian-speaking fans nickname "Supernatural" (calico from the English name Supernatural), is so popular? It would seem that there are many other TV series where good fights against evil and brilliantly wins, where mysticism jumps out literally from behind every bush, why exactly this project continues to attract new fans? The answer is very simple - heroes make an incredible charisma of history. "Supernatural" is built as a kind of "road-story": two brothers travel, along the way, saving the world from all kinds of evil spirits and sticking to dangerous adventures. As events unfold, the plot includes angels, demons and even God himself. However, the short description does not explain why the film turned out so fascinating.
The main characters of "Supernatural"
From the very first series of the viewer acquainted with the maincharacters, their history and, in fact, plot plot. Sam Winchester was still a baby, when right above his crib his mother died, pinned to the ceiling with some kind of mystical power. Only by a miracle, his father, John Winchester, entered the room and managed to save the baby - handed him to his eldest son, Dean, and ordered him to run into the street. But he failed to save his wife.
In the first season, the brothers are practicallythe only leading characters. “Supernatural” is a series of complex structures, John Winchester appears only at the end of the first season, and it can be counted among the list of the main characters of the second season. Similarly, Bobby Singer, a friend of the family, an elderly connoisseur of evil spirits, roams from series to series. We can safely say that there are the main characters of the entire series, and the main characters of the season added to them.
Dean Winchester
Charismatic Jensen Eccles, who played the eldest ofbrothers quickly became the darling of the spectators. Handsome, brave, strong, with a wonderful appetite and a peculiar sense of humor - this guy does not always know what to do in a difficult situation, but always acts. He may be doing stupid things, taking excessive risks with himself, but this is a model of loyalty and devotion to the family.
The special appeal of Dean Winchesteris that it is not perfect. He is the same as ordinary people: he makes mistakes, makes stupid things, unsuccessfully jokes, sometimes chomping while eating and occasionally goes over to the side of evil. It seems that this is not how positive characters should do. "Supernatural" themes and attracts, the characters of this series are not glossy images, they are alive and real.
Sam Winchester
If half the spectators go crazy for DeanWinchester, then the second half gives preference to Sam, the younger brother played by Jared Padalecki. Ambiguous character, which is also difficult to call positive. It seems that Sam Winchester is a kind of opposite of his brother, and he has been trying to prove it for almost the entire movie. First of all, to yourself.
Sam is reasonable, balanced and logical, sometimesit even seems that he will help smooth out all the consequences of the impulsive actions of the elder brother. It is he who checks everything with logic and universal morality, rebels against the orders of his father and condemns Dean, who is used to carry out orders without reasoning about their correctness. At the same time, Sam makes much more global mistakes that put the whole world on the brink of destruction - and no positive heroes do that.
“Supernatural” perfectly illustrates the well-known wisdom: the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and in this case the saying is interpreted literally.
Castiel
The first angel who came to the rescue of the brothersWinchester, Dina got right out of hell, literally pulled out, leaving a burn in the form of a penny. The role of Castiel played Michael Collins, and only in some episodes the face of an angel illuminate the usual human emotions. It looks pretty funny, because Collins is actually an ironic person with a lively sense of humor. It was probably difficult for him for so many episodes to preserve a non-emotional facial expression, but he did an excellent job with the role.
Castiel is a very atypical angel.He doubts, he is in defiance of the dogmas to which other angels are subject, he learns to make decisions himself and take responsibility for them. It is difficult, but Castiel often takes the side of the losing side, when the Winchesters are in a disadvantageous situation and confront the whole world, he tries to help. Castiel falls to a lot of tests and strength tests, he also puts the world on the verge of death and tries to fix it. In the Supernatural series, the characters constantly face the challenge of choosing: to believe the written rules and their own eyes, or to do the right thing.
Own or others?
All characters in the series can be very conditional.divided into positive and negative, they constantly drift from one camp to another. For example, Crowley, the king of hell - he has to be an antagonist, and he is really bad. The king of the demons should not be good, but nothing human is alien to him either: he watches old sentimental films, helps the Winchesters from time to time and just as easily substitutes them.
One of the most charismatic and unexpectedcharacters - Death, one of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Calm and stylish old man who loves fast food and from time to time makes adjustments to their own rules.
In the television series "Supernatural" the names of the charactersYou can go on forever, and not everyone can be uniquely attributed to antagonists. The exceptions are, perhaps, the absolute centers of evil, such as Abaddon, demon Meg or angel Zachariah.
The secret of the television series popularity
Even if Lucifer looks like a charming characterwith its own truth, then any viewer can reflect on life. The heroes of the series "Supernatural" appear not unattainable ideal, to which it is useless to strive, on the contrary. They set an example of vitality - if the Winchester brothers are capable of stupidity, then any ordinary person on this side of the screen should not be killed and executed himself only because he was a little stupid. At least, our actions do not plunge the whole world into the next Apocalypse. But you can follow their example, not to give up and not to indulge in reflection, but to act, to correct what has been done, not letting matters go by chance.
“Supernatural” is notmoral story, this is a fascinating excursion into the world of urban legends, folk beliefs and legends, religious tenets and universal values. Many viewers sincerely believe that “Supernaturals” made them better and stronger, helped to overcome difficulties. For the series is the best praise.
