      Transcript of Stalin's conversation with the creators of the film "Ivan the Terrible"

      It was nearly 11pm when we were called to the Kremlin. Come to the reception room at 10:50. Comrade Boskrebyshev came out and took us to the office at exactly 11 o'clock.

      Comrades Stalin, Molotov, and Zhdanov were sitting in the far back of the office. We greeted them when we entered the house and sat down at the table.

      Comrade Stalin said:
      You wrote a letter. A little late to reply today. I wanted to give a written reply, but I thought it would be better to talk about...

Build a centralized power across Europe and Asia.

      Ivan the Terrible

      Sergei Eisenstein's later arranged political films, as the first Russian tsar, the model of the unification of the motherland by the iron-blooded rule is the political subtext that Stalin wants to use for propaganda, Eisenstein in the first work. In general, he completed the mission relatively well, made a strong criticism of the corruption of the nobles and the bullying of the foreign powers, and laid a foreshadowing of the cruelty and darkness of Ivan IV's character in addition to being tough...

      Eisenstein's Light Art

      There are a lot of facial close-ups, high-value actors, costumes inlaid with gold and treasures, magnificent music, and the location shots are very elegant. The actor who played Ivan's POSE skills is unbelievable. The laughing point is that the palace gate in Russia is like a dog hole. Everyone can bend over and pass sideways. It was not until the last emperor's aunt planned the church assassination that I found out that this relative of the emperor was a woman. .

      Zhdanov said that...

      Great religious sacrifice movie. It directly crosses the stage of drama and reshapes the classical aesthetics and mysterious atmosphere of the ceremonies in ancient Greece. It can even become a template for a certain kind of Western art...

      The screen-split setting, exaggerated performance, strong sense of drama, quite Shakespeare's legacy. But the cinematography and scene scheduling are excellent, with rich imagination and expressiveness. The films of the Soviet Union in the 1940s still could not escape the infiltration of ideology, united workers and peasants, and excluded dissidents. Isn't this really a platform for...

      8.5, which is simply fantastic. The scenes of the battlefield are shown in fixed shots, which opposes the scene scheduling across the shots. The rare cut shots are not a supplement to the reality dimension of the front shots, but are extremely purposeful. The outline of the characters is expressed in theater stylized expressions, and the direct use of dramatic body language is like a living textbook. The most wonderful is the vertical montage of the innovative language. The audio track and the...
