Light. Darkness. Allegory. In practice the movie from a saga "Twilight" series. But the main characters are very different and this is a definite plus. Well, a little bit about the characters. Not very manly Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) with absolutely silly smile. But that's what attracts. Very close to the reality, life. The actor is absolutely natural on the screen with mobile features and sometimes childlike. The main character, Lena (Alice Englert), obviously coincides with the medieval ideal of beauty. From here it’s possible to draw a conclusion that present Hollywood more and more addresses to talented actors who’s more like real people, than to bored stars, whose appearance fits into the dream factory imposed ideal of beauty, which already rather cloyed and exhausted itself. Down with this discrimination. In everyone there is something beautiful, just need to see it. But in each family, as the saying goes: "Many a good father has but a bad son", - as shown in the movie. "Beautiful creatures" clearly let know that the new generation of actors is not much inferior to established stars of the big screen. By the way about them. Characters of Macon and his sister, however arrogant they were, discourse truth and you can’t argue with them. Exactly their dialogues make intellectual part of the movie, but it ends with them, going deeper into the banal subjects of the plot with the same banal speeches. Standard theme of the good and evil, love and death, law of similarity. The truth which has already become classics - sometimes it’s better to let someone, than to suffer all the world, besides love can manage any obstacles, but only true love. Unfortunately in similar movies never said what’s the true love - the viewer studies nothing and whether the viewer to whom such pictures are focused is able to study. The question is rhetorical. But most people know the answer. Not without raising from the dead, making casual mention of already recognized masterpieces of cinema (a movie mention Christopher Nolan's "Inception" with a misspelling in the most beginning of a picture gives a clear idea of the small town and its people - the good introduction). The character of Amma surprised. Ridiculous distorting stories as if the African tribes have ever inhabited the North American continent. Besides this heroine wears distinctive scars of the same African tribes with traditional jewelry of inhabitants of Nepal and all people in the territory of the Himalayas. Were successful in the movie plans with landscapes. Clearly adjusted picture and beautiful nature of the United States. The episode with exorcising mother of the main character from human body was successful also. The witch, sorry, “caster” is painted like a black ballpoint pen, a set of fragmentary lines, like graphic works by Zdzisław Beksiński.

​The one conclusion from preview: the promising future of young talents - charismatic Alden and unusual Alice.
