  • This scene reminds me of the scene in The Great Dictator when Charlie Chaplin dances with the globe.

  • I agree, the film as a whole has no moral roles, nobody is the hero and nobody is the villain, it becomes a game of chess: two opposite sides and contradictory ideologies vying for power.

    Unfortunately, Eisenstein died before making the third part, which perhaps would have passed the final filmic judgment of Ivan IV.

  • Actually the second part was the one that was banned because Stalin did not like Ivan as a tyrant. Stalin absolutely loved the first part and, to an extent, it was propoganda.

  • I love this movie. It is my favorite Soviet (Stalinist) era propoganda film. Eisenstien's use of lighting and the score by Prokofiev combine to create an underrated masterpiece.
