Despite the fact that cats are very photogenic and artistic creatures, there are very few feature films where the cat would play the main role. Most often, their time in the frame is limited by a fleeting appearance, and carries an emotional load for the moment, rather than a full-fledged acting game. Sometimes it is a cute kitten sitting next to a couple, which, as it were, emphasizes the romanticism of the moment. A black cat running across the road should inform the viewer that any troubles await the hero of the film.
What is the reason for this attitude towards these fluffy beauties? For example, dogs - they are very successful in such tasks as acting, and even nominated for their dog Oscar - the Golden Collar Award. Why then do cats not have them, say, a gold harness? Of course, the main problem is feline independence. Not a single cat will run like a dog at the first order of a person to perform this or that task. A cat needs more than a treat and praise in order for it to deign to play the right role. But, nevertheless, there are films with cats in the lead role. With what admonitions the directors persuade their tailed-mustachioed actors to film - let it remain a secret. But to sound some of the masterpieces in which Muski and Barsiki starred is probably worth it: "This Wild Cat" (1997), "Kitten" (1996), "Cats Against Dogs" (2001 and 2010), "Cat's Eye" (1985), The Way Home 1 and 2 (1992 and 1996), Thomasina's Three Lives (1964), Mad Laurie (1991).
You can also look at your favorites in documentaries. Here it is necessary to especially highlight the films: "Cats: Affectionate Tigers" (1991), "From Kitten to Cat" (1987) and the BBC film "Mysterious Cats" (2002). But the greatest variety of cats, cats, kittens and the roles they play reigns, undoubtedly, in animated films. From Tom and Jerry to Garfield, cats make us laugh and empathize, dream and joke.
Both in life and on the screen, cats have always been and remain self-sufficient creatures. A graceful and graceful creature requires a lot of work, patience and endless love from the trainer working with her. If this is achieved, then the animal plays on a par with famous actors, delighting us with its funny antics, showing not hefty ingenuity and ingenuity.
In each, even a small kitten, a big actor is dozing, who reveals himself from our care, attention and affection. So let the cats living next to us please more often with their talented game. Who knows, it might be your cat that will win the Feline Oscar when it is instituted.
