Actually I agree with the music. Basil Poledouris is one of the great forgotten names in film music. He shared a deep passion and understanding of russian music; and besides, this song is fking epic.
@potasiu2 Thanks so much for that... As you can see I catch and endless amount of crap for the music in this. I did the best with what I had at the time :) I still love the song and think it's a beautiful piece of music. I actually use Poledouris much more effectively in the second half of the All Mixed Up Love episode. I think he's a very under appreciated artist. Thanks again :)
i saw ivans childhood sixty years ago in film festival of india...this was the most remarkable russian film ..i have not forgotten this film..andrei tarkovsky was his best in ivans childhood...ramesh goswami
Well, it's nice that someone wants to pay tribute to him, but I must say this must be almost the worst choice possible for the music...a song from an American Hollywoodesque action movie...a movie in which the Soviet main characters are mere stereotypes and dream of going to Montana ¿¿¿??? Seriously, I think this music does not fit the images at all...specially if you know where the music actually comes from...
@Gneisenau It sounded Russian enough for the slide show... It was one of my very first attempts at something so I figures If anyone watched it more then once, it would have been for the charge they got of the music. I never expected to go on and continue getting views... i mean shit... Nearly 30,000!!! None of my other come close... I hope when I'm done with the All Mixed Up Symphony, some of the episodes will endure :D
Great compilation! You should have used Bach as the music.. It was one of Tarkovsky´s favorite composers and describes his movies perfectly. He was a patriot but not a red army soviet kind.

No filmmaker has EVER been able to frame a scene like Tarkovsky. I'm a big fan of Fellini and Kurosawa, but they still don't reach the beauty of some of Tarkovsky's scenes---especially in 'Andrei Rublev', a movie I think is unmatched in all of cinema. Thank you for putting this together. There are too many people who have never heard of him. Yes, Orson Welles is a genius, but he can't reach these heights.

I've just finished watching Ivan's Childhood here. What a great piece of work. Saddened by the ending though. I must see some ot Tarkovsky's other works.
My first and only film of Tarkovsky i've watched is 'Andre Rublev' it was like 3 hours but I couldn't stop watching it, I'm not exactly sure what's it's philosophical message is but i was a brilliant film for sure. I want to watch 'Mirror' and 'Solaris' next.
Thank you for putting these clips up. Films like these must never be forgotten. For those of us who grew up during the Cold War, films like Ivan bridged the gap between nations and people. Another great WWII "kid" film btw is an American film entitled "The Search" with Montgomery Clift and Czech child actor Ivan Lendl.
Hey hey, i'm so pleased to see your high opinion of The Search. It is one of my favorite films. I also have its listed in a categorie as a Neo-Realist film produced outside the Italian market. The Search was a rare and shining example of both old and new American masters trying to bring the same truth and realism to film, that the Italian NeoRealists, French NewWavers and Latino CinemaNuovo of the time were breaking down barriers with. Thanks so much for the lovely comments. I appreciate it!!!!
I remember seeing my first Tarkovsky film on television when I was 8 years old. It was "My Name is Ivan" (as named here in the US) I was ill and so I was up at night, sleeping on the couch. That was around 1962. It stayed with me my whole life.The ending is crushing and unforgettable. I recently bought a copy for my 14 year old daughter. We're homeschoolers and were studying WWII. She also saw Rublev. I love Tarkovsky.
Spahseebah... for the lovely comment. I love Russian and eastern European cinema very much. It's honest and carries a heart and soul that does not exist in films from other countries. The heart and soul of common people doing their best to live in peace with the things and people they love. Tarkovsky was and is one of the most enduring artists of the 20th century and a true patriot for the highest ideas and philosophy that motivated the best minds and artists of the socialist era.
Thanks so much for the comment Dave. Forgive me for the late response. I've been going through and finding quite a few comment I missed.
I also loved Solaris by Tarkosky. The rescent remake was nothing in comparison. My favorite though is Ivan's Childhood. I grew up watching that film and it has always had a huge emtional impact on me. Thanks again man ;)
Oh thanks so much for your kind words. Movies are my life. I really enjoy putting these tributes together. Tarkovsky was a partuicular genius. One of my all time favorite artists.
He directed most of his films in the Soviet Union, with the exception of his last two films, which were produced in Italy and Sweden. His films are characterized by Christian spirituality and metaphysical themes, extremely long takes, lack of conventional dramatic structure and plot, and memorable cinematography
Tarkovsky is listed among the 100 most critically acclaimed film directors; director Ingmar Bergman was quoted as saying "Tarkovsky for me is the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream". Tarkovsky attained critical praise for films such as Andrei Rublev, Solaris and Stalker. Tarkovsky worked extensively as a screenwriter, film editor, film theorist and theater director.
