No more or less big film is made without extras. People involved in mass filming are not artists. Who are they, practicing scenes for many hours in a row, and for a penny reward? Some dream of becoming movie stars, others just make a living. Many of them are simultaneously engaged in other work, have "normal" ordinary professions, but appear on the set regularly, from year to year, because they can no longer live without this process, laborious, hectic, but giving life a certain courage.
