Since I have little knowledge of historical facts, the following evaluation is basically a personal comment from the perspective of film art. 1. There are many fixed lenses and a small amount of moving lenses. But a large number of shots have distinct layers in front and back (near and far), which greatly expands the narrative capacity of a shot and the beauty of composition. ·The composition is perfect, and each frame has the beauty of a classical painting. It is hard to...

The childhood of Ivan, which Sergey inserted at the beginning, has different opinions in history. His mother was a Tartar, who brought Ivan III exotic pleasure, so she was favored alone. However, due to the old tradition of Rus, women cannot participate in politics, so Ivan III is fortified against her, and will not hand over the power to a woman more than 20 years younger than himself before his death. He passed the power to Ivan Ley and entrusted it to several ministers. Later, the state...

a movie that's not like a movie
Unlike Ivan the Terrible, which is divided into two parts by caesarphoenix in the film's film text
, except for the second part, which has about twenty minutes (56th to 1h13th, and the end) of color images, the rest are in black and white , has the unique cleanliness, delicateness and beauty of light and shadow unique to black and white films.
From the perspective of image ontology that reproduces reality, "Ivan the Terrible" is not like a movie, but closer to a drama, a...By Eula 2022-09-15 12:55:58
If the first part is that Ivan IV had to be tough in order to get rid of internal and external troubles, the second part is his palace struggle to further consolidate his power and eliminate dissidents. Sergei Eisenstein gradually portrayed Ivan as a capricious and cruel dictator. Whether or not Stalin was insinuated, the director's character creation was extremely successful, including the application of light and the darkening of appearance and clothing. The design, especially the colorful...

[Film Review] Ivan the Terrible, Part I (1944) and Part II (1958)
Eisenstein's two-part historical biopic of Ivan IV of Russia (1530-1584), it is his swan song, commissioned by none other than Joseph Stalin himself. Intended as a trilogy, the project's third installment was scrapped after Part II enraged Stalin (why ? the behind-the-scene stories are destined to be more appealing than the actual films) and was...

The details of the plot have been forgotten, and I feel that the performance is very dramatic, and there are many close-ups of the characters' expressions and faces. This is fully learned from the revolutionary movies in China in the 1956s. An artificial color segment in the movie should have been considered a blockbuster at the...
