  • This is my favorite movie of Eisenstein.

    Brilliant! The beginning of the Movie is the Coronation Scene! Majestic! It glorifies the Period of the Great Princes of Moscow of whom Ivan was the first to be crown as Tsar of Russia and of all the Russians.I like the end when Ivan IV the Formidable rises from the bed and returns to Moscow triumphant!

    A great patriotic film that rightly glorifies the Great Monarchs of the Russian Empire.

    Russian History,language and culture is my favorite subject.

  • Ivan's nickname of "terrible" really meant "awesome" in the old English meaning of "terrible" which today means "horrible". A translation closer to the intended sense would be Ivan the Fearsome, or Ivan the Formidable.

  • @Jame243 may be your favorite subject, but you know nothing about it if you think that Eisenstein was glorifying the Great Monarchs of the Russian Empire. It intends to be a strong criticism to it, and under the surface, it's a strong criticism to Stalin for betraying the Bolchevique revolution.

  • Not gonna lie, love Russian history and Ivan but thought this film was terribly dull. Feel free to judge my ignorance.

  • @SupernautG I heard this in college as well! =D

  • this ending scene is also one of the most visually stunning of eisenstein's carreer, minus the steps in potemkin.

  • probably my favourite of eisenstein's it is his biggest endeavor by far, ... too bad part III wasn't made. it's a shame.

  • where did you get the subtittles?

  • @Jame243 you know he beat his pregnant daughter causing a miscarriage, and he put a spear through his son's head right? and that was probably on one of his good days, guy was messed up, plain and simple

  • @Hellgoregaming Everyone back then did that kind of torture - no big deal for them. I mean look at what they did in merry old England at that time so to claim what Ivan did was more gruesome and that is why he has this rep is not factual. In Russian it is Ivan Groznyi; actually means something closer to "Redoubtable" or "Severe" and carries connotations of might, power and strictness rather than horror or cruelty.

  • @SupernautG So his personal torture chamber and the fact he boiled his own people just happen to be a side note?

  • Great King of Russia !
