Ivan Grozny: Ivan The Terrible (1944) – Video


Ivan Grozny: Ivan The Terrible (1944)
Ivan the Terrible (Russian: #1048; #1074; #1072; #1085; #1043; #1088; #1086; #1079; #1085; #1099; #1081;, Ivan Grozniy) is a two-part historical epic film about Ivan IV of Russia made by Russian director Sergei Eisenstein. Part 1 was released in 1944 but Part 2 was not released until 1958 due to political censorship. The films were originally planned as part of a trilogy, but Eisenstein died before filming of the third part could be finished. During World War II, with the German army approaching Moscow, Eisenstein was one of many Moscow-based filmmakers who were evacuated to Almaty, in the Kazakh SSR. There, Eisenstein first considered the idea of making a film about Tsar Ivan IV, aka Ivan the Terrible, whom Joseph Stalin admired, seeing him as the same kind of brilliant, decisive, successful leader that Stalin aspired to be. The first film, Ivan The Terrible, Part I, was filmed between 1942 and 1944, and released at the end of that year. The film presented Ivan as a national hero, and won Joseph Stalin #39;s approval (and even a Stalin Prize). The score for the films was composed by Sergei Prokofiev. PART1: Part I begins with Ivan #39;s coronation as Tsar of all the Russias, amid grumbling from the boyars. Ivan makes a speech proclaiming his intent to unite and protect Russia against the foreign armies outside her borders and the enemies within - a reference to the boyars, who are already seen as discontented with his coronation. Shortly after, the scene changes to Ivan #39;s wedding celebration in which he marries Anastasia Romanovna. This ...From:madamlinda368Views:6 1ratingsTime:01:38:59More inFilm Animation

Censorship is a world problem: Zanussi

Panaji, Nov 20 (IBNS)

Renowned Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi has described censorship as a world problem and called for reasonable ways to handle it.

"Censorship is an ugly method of improving our life," he said and added that police states tackle this problem in a harsh way, while democratic nations do it in a far more reasonable manner.

Zanussi, who will be honoured with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the 43rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa on Tuesday evening, was addressing the media here in the morning.

Known for producing acclaimed films like Camouflage, Family Life, The Silent Touch, The Contract and Revisited, Zanussi pitched for great ideas to shape the world.

Replying to a question on censorship issues in India, he said, "Internet may build a completely new society or it may destroy us, so the big challenge is to find a balanced way."

His film Illumination will be shown at the festival.

Talking about Indian Cinema, the Polish Master said that Independent Cinema and the popular films are complimentary and one must respect the later for being the representative of common culture, though not satisfying to personal tastes at times.

On cinema in his home country, Zanussi said, though it is doing well on a contemporary note, but they are not well recognized as was the case during the political turmoil of early 80s.

He said life is better now in Poland than the Communist era, but the young filmmakers have to cope up with new tragedies and new injustices.

Dwelling on the subject of Physics, which Zanussi studied and its relationship with cinema, he said, physics when taken seriously is not engineering but closer to Philosophy.

Describing Cinema as a young discipline, the Polish Master, who produced more than 80 films and documentaries, said that his best is yet to come.
