This amazing product is supposed to prevent people from aging. Payshins is one of the few who have access to the product and one day she decides to try it out on herself. However, during her little experiment, things don't go according to plan, and the heroine becomes a hostage to her own initiative.

Trailers and Extras

Patience works for a cosmetics corporation. Once, performing a task, the heroine was very late, because of which she had to personally take the project to the boss.

Here, by chance, she learns that not everything goes smoothly with the new line of products, and if you stop applying ointments, the skin will start to corrode. The employee is shocked and thinks of a way to escape as soon as possible. But she has no luck and dies in a sewer pipe.

Next, a cat comes to her and breathes a second life into her. Thanks to this, Patience becomes agile and flexible. It turns out that similar cases have happened before, because the Egyptian goddess Bast empowers her chosen women to do good.

Now the quiet girl goes to save everyone from cosmetic slavery. But the corporation does not sit idly by, seeing that it is being dug under. That is why a human rights activist is falsely accused of murdering one of the firm's founders. A young detective takes on the case.

However, he becomes the lover of the heroine, not suspecting that at night she climbs on the roofs and executes justice.

Meanwhile, the head of the corporation decided to change the advertising sign with the image of his wife on the new – the face should be a pretty young person. But his wife does not like it, and she begins to act.

However, the heroine comes to her, and in the course of the battle defeats the insidious person. Next, the girl goes to the management, and there to eliminate the instigator of the production of low-quality cosmetics, as a result of which the products do not reach the consumer market.

But this is only one round in a fierce fight against evil. Understanding this, and despite the fact that Catwoman is recognized by the whole town, in the finale she walks off into the sunset, never revealing her identity to anyone, not even her lover. After all, she must fight tirelessly on the side of good, and therefore cannot live as an ordinary person.

Michelle Pfeiffer (1992).

The talented American actress became the first full-fledged "cat" when she appeared in Tim Burton's Batman Returns. Her version immediately fell into the hearts of the audience, because it turned out very sexy and dangerous, as it should be according to the comics. Catwoman and Batman made a great duo, earning a nomination for Best Kiss, and Michelle, in turn, was nominated for Most Desirable Woman. The actress often appears in films in extravagant looks, and she's great at those roles. In addition, she even endorsed Zoe Kravitz for the role.

As has become common in movies in recent years, women's roles began to take on a slightly different appearance and carry a different message: not to be a solid object of desire, but to be primarily a strong person. Anne Hathaway's cat turned out to be very self-confident, determined and strong not only in spirit but also physically. These changes in the image can be seen in a more modest dressing and enterprising heroine. In addition, Nolan made her an ally of Batman rather than an adversary. "The Dark Knight: Legend Reborn" gave her the opportunity to prove herself as a superheroine, but for this, the actress had to train very hard.

This role was the first in her career so physically demanding, and Anne was also worried that she would not be as good as Michelle Pfeiffer, but she handled all the challenges just fine.

Halle Berry (2004).

However, there is another version of Catwoman, formed after Michelle's version and before Ann's version, that many people don't even know about. It was embodied by the American actress, who became the first dark-skinned Catwoman. This incarnation also turned out to be more open and provocative, but it was not enough to make the film a success. Unfortunately, it didn't pay off, and Hallie won the award for "Worst Actress." Nevertheless, this version also has its fans, because it is not at all about bad acting, but about the interpretation of the picture as a whole.

By the way, there is also some connection between Berry and the future "cat" Kravitz, because they both appeared in the "X-Men" franchise.

The 100 million is not very visible. Such simple graphics for 2004. Terminator in 1990 was times better. This is the most frustrating part. Read more>>

The movie is uneven. There are some very good scenes (especially at the beginning of the movie). Certainly is the scene where the main character climbs on the ledge trying to save the cat. Very memorable is the scene where the cats surround the main one. read more>>

I can tell one thing for sure. It's a very feminist film because the female character is praised here and the male character is totally impersonal. That's not the problem of the movie though! It is full of clichés, predictable twists and turns. read more>>

Plot spoiler.

The modest and inconspicuous Patience Phillips works for George Hedare Beauty as an artist-designer in the marketing department. The company plans to launch a new cream, "Beauline" (beauline – beauty line). By chance, she uncovers her boss's plan, learning the secret of the cream, a dangerous skin-destroying side effect. Patience is chased, the guards drive her down a drainpipe, dump her with the waste into a body of water, and she dies. The girl's discarded corpse is resurrected by an Egyptian mau, a cat named Midnight, giving her amazing powers. She can now run along walls and ceilings, jump very high, and has become dexterous. Some cat habits also appear – she does not like dogs, is afraid of water, does not stop eating fish, and is delighted with catnip. The girl is involved in a relationship with police officer Tom Lowne, and her strange habits complicate the development of the novel.

After chatting with the cat mau's owner, the oddball Ophelia Powers, Patience changes her image and becomes Catwoman. Dressed in a leather suit, the girl fights crime at night. Trying to find out who killed her, she goes after George's wife Laurel Heder. Catwoman meets Laurel and tells her about the company's dangerous new product, intending through her to influence George to stop the release of the terrible cream. However, it turns out that Laurel is the one behind these plans, and George knew nothing about the cream's side effects. Thanks to the product, the aging Laurel wants to preserve her beauty at all costs. Laurel fakes the murder of one of the cream's developers and frames Catwoman as the culprit. She is apprehended by the police in the person of Tom Lawn. The policeman discovers the girl's secret. Patience escapes from custody and learns Laurel's secret. Now it is necessary to stop the release of the product to the market at all costs. George, who was going to prevent the cream from appearing on the shelves, is also killed by Laurel. Catwoman catches up with Laurel in her office and scratches her face in the process. Her skin, made hard as stone by the cream, quickly deteriorates, and the villain hangs from the window coverings. Patience tries to hold Laurel down, but she lets go of her hand. In the ending, Patience is going to remain Catwoman and continue to fight crime in the city.

Every night changing into a leather suit, the girl fights crime, and at the same time trying to find out who was behind her murder.

• Halle Berry won the Golden Raspberry Award for her role in this movie and became one of the six Oscar winning actors who also won this award. She came to the Golden Raspberry Awards in person, accepted the statuette while holding her Oscar, and said: "I'd like to thank Warner Brothers for making me do this shitty movie!"
• The sushi that Halle Berry eats in the restaurant was actually pieces of fruit.
• Forty-three cats were used in the making of the movie. Halle Berry kept one of them.
• The test screenings a month before the premiere revealed some inconsistencies, so several scenes of the film had to be rushed to reshoot.
• The first promotional trailer, released a few months before the premiere, caused a flurry of criticism. It was soon replaced by a new trailer, without plot details or dialogue.

Film Catwoman

A black lady named Patience (in Boomer parlance, Terpila) led a pretty worthless existence, was murdered by her employer (because she heard too much) and resurrected as a latex-clad, whip-snapping bitch. On the one hand, the plot is uncomplicated, Halle Berry as the S&M parlor lady looks silly, and her much-publicized fight with Sharon Stone doesn't live up to expectations. On the other hand, there is at least one pornographically successful scene: Patience's catlike squeezing through the bars of the prison bars.

A black young lady named Patience (in Boomer parlance, "Patience") led a pretty worthless existence: instead of preparing a solo exhibition at MoMA, she drew sketches for skin moisturizer commercials, instead of hanging out with gangsta rappers, she was friends with an obese and unpleasantly horny office colleague. With all the makings for exciting sex with baseball stars, she was stunned if a wet-eyed cop invited her to a cup of coffee at the diner around the corner. When the neighbors turned the music up loud at night, Patience chose earplugs over scandal. She clearly should have died.

Movie reviews and reviews

A movie based on the comic books, with which it has almost nothing in common

Catwoman, a character in the DC Comics universe, was born at the same time as Batman. It was in 1940, but the great interest of the public character won only in 1992, when the movie "Batman Returns" was released, where the role of Catwoman played inimitable Michelle Pfeiffer. Success was so great that the decision to make a separate movie about Catwoman did not surprise anyone.

As we know from the comics, the heroine's name is Selina, and she had a difficult childhood: her cat mother neglected her two daughters completely, and then she killed herself. Selina ended up in an orphanage, where the cruel principal didn't like her from day one. It was at the orphanage that Selina learned of her outstanding gymnastic skills and natural powers of observation. After learning that the principal was embezzling money from the orphanage, Selina resorted to blackmail and thus freed herself from the orphanage. Seeing the surest way to preserve her freedom and independence, Selina rushed to a new life of thievery (in the comics Catwoman was a supervillain).

In "Catwoman," directed by Pitof (Real name Jean-Christophe Comar), Selina's story was completely ignored. She is now Patience Phillips, a cosmetics advertising designer. She accidentally learned her employers' secret, was accidentally (but with intent) flushed down a chimney, and was accidentally (but not apparently) resurrected by the backyard cats.

Critics met the film very negatively, while the audience reacted to Catwoman much more mildly. The main character played by Halle Berry is beautiful – vicious charm, duplicity and sexual attraction.

Her main antipode Laurel Heather played by Sharon Stone. It is believed that she played herself – the once successful movie star now has to put up with the popularity of younger and more attractive.

Director Pitof has long been known for his sense of texture, and in Catwoman we see an exquisite scenic sequence during the opening credits, Patience's inspired resurrection scene and the narrow streets with those eye-catching cornices. He was assisted by cameraman Thierry Arbogast (a favorite of Luc Besson) and costume designer Angus Strathy ("Moulin Rouge").
