| Alexander Nevsky | comment |
Alexander Nevsky (Russian: Александр Невский) is a 1938 Soviet Russian epic historical drama film directed by Sergei Eisenstein, also known for The Battleship Potemkin and Ivan the Terrible. Sergei Prokofiev composed the soundtrack, and it stars Nikolay Cherkasov in the title role.The film depicts the attempted invasion of Novgorod in the 13th century by The Teutonic Knights of the Holy Roman Empire and their defeat by the Russian people, led by Prince Alexander, known popularly as Alexander Nevsky. (In order to deal with the Knights, he foregoes a campaign against the Mongols.) It begins as the knights invade and conquer the city of Pskov with the help of the traitor Tverdilo and massacre its population. In the face of resistance by the boyars and merchants of Novgorod (urged on by the monk Ananias), Nevsky rallies the common people of Novgorod and in a decisive Battle of the Ice, on the surface of the frozen Lake Chudskoe.It is worth noting that because the movie was made during the Stalinist regime, it also contains quite a few Soviet political subtexts, such as the anti-religious, anti-German stance of the communist government of that time and the portrayal of Nevsky as a wise and courageous leader―reflecting how Stalin had himself portrayed during his "cult of personality" campaign. Unfortunately for Eisenstein, the film debuted just months before the non-aggression treaty between the USSR and Nazi Germany, and he was forced to pull the movie from theaters... until the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, after which it was hurried into theaters again, being just the kind of propaganda that was needed. The film is considered an excellent work and enjoyed great success and continuing influence both in and outside the Soviet Union/Russia. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Alexander Nevsky / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: It is possible that the archbishop is supposed to represent particularly the then Pope, Pius XI, who was ardently anti-communist; the cardinal bears a very superficial resemblance to the rather emaciated pontific. Alexander, of course, stands for Stalin, as he wished to be considered, though there is no physical resemblance. | |

Bloodless Carnage: Not a single drop of blood is shed in the film, despite an impressive body count. Perhaps due to a Special Effects Failure, as it was much more difficult to create realistic gore in the 1930s. | |

Pop-Cultural Osmosis | |
| Alexander Nevsky / int_19bec249 | comment |
Pop-Cultural Osmosis: The enormously successful film cemented the Battle on the Ice in Russian imagery. Most later takes on the subject (paintings, historical novels, etc.) drew more on Eisenstein's film than on scant historical sources. Also, few people in Russia know about the Biblical origins of the famous "die by the sword" quote. And it's very often misquoted. | |

Ominous Latin Chanting | |
| Alexander Nevsky / int_1fdaf8ff | comment |
Ominous Latin Chanting: Scenes with the Teutonic Knights are accompanied by a sinister Latin chorus, which rises in a crescendo during the battle scene, to indicate that the Teutons were evil Catholics fighting the good-guy Russians. Prokofiev's scoring for this scene sounds similar enough to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana to have inspired, perhaps, the use of "O Fortuna" in subsequent movies. (The Orff piece was written earlier — by one year.) The chanted words "Peregrinus expectavi pedes meos in cymbalis" are themselves snipped from various places in Igor Stravinsky's A Symphony of Psalms, quite possibly as a subtle Take That! to his contemporary. Prokofiev evidently realized that practically no-one in the audience would know Latin: the assembled chant is Word Salad meaning something like "A pilgrim — I awaited — my feet — on the cymbals." | |

Beard of Evil | |
| Alexander Nevsky / int_2bfb1856 | comment |
Beard of Evil: Inverted. The Russians have beards while the Teutonic Knights are all clean-shaven, which is a departure from history: their rule required them to sport a beard. This was probably for patriotic reasons, as the Russian Orthodox Church also once required its members to have beards and not shave, so it serves as an easy way to highlight differences from the Russian perspective. | |

Danger — Thin Ice | |
| Alexander Nevsky / int_332cabca | comment |
Danger — Thin Ice: As the Rus prepare to meet the invading Teutonic Knights on Lake Chudskoenote also called Lake Peipus in Western sources, Alexander is warned that the ice is thin and might crack. In response, Alexander notes that the Germans' armor, not to mention their warhorses, are heavier than those of the Rus, with the implication that the invaders are at greater risk from the ice's condition. During the ensuing battle, the famous "Battle on the Ice", the retreating German force blunders onto or is driven onto a section of the lake where the ice is relatively thin, and many of the knights drown when the ice gives way. | |

Kick the Dog: Just to show how evil they are, a Mongol warrior lays a whip across the back of a young Russian peasant for daring to stand in the presence of the Mongol ambassador; and the ambassador climbs into his carriage on the back of one of his servants. Later, the Teutonic Knights toss infants onto a bonfire. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade: Prince Alexander was a very shrewd politician who spent most of his life feuding with other Russian princes. Also, he submitted to the Mongols and paid tribute to them after seeing them obliterate nearly every other Russian state - in fact, the army he led against the Teutonics did include some mongol cavalry. The film — following a tradition much older than Stalinism — focuses on his younger years. Knowing the Bylins (heroic folk stories) makes Vasiliy Buslay look more like Heroic Comedic Sociopath. Remember his plans of going to Volga to "play with the axe". | |

Getting Crap Past the Radar: The film features a Russian Orthodox saint as a protagonist, presents medieval Russia in a positive light, and glorifies non-Communist Russian patriotism.

Aristocrats Are Evil: Novgorod boyars are depicted as a corrupt and cowardly lot, willing to sell out the city to the enemies. Prince Alexander is an exception — mainly because, in the movie, he is portrayed as a hero of the common folk. | |

Christianity Is Catholic | |
| Alexander Nevsky / int_a8a5e4ed | comment |
Christianity is Catholic: Orthodox Christianity is almost completely absent from the movie. Only in the end does Prince Alexander pay a visit to the Archbishop of Novgorod. Russian churches have no crosses on top, Russian banners represent some fantastic beasts (in reality, they would feature an icon of Christ), and there are no priests in Alexander's army. Essentially, medieval Russians as portrayed by Eisenstein are either pagans or non-Hollywood Atheists. This was enforced by Soviet state policies, which were pro-atheism. | |

Putting on the Reich: The helmets worn by the Teutonic soldiers resemble exaggerated versions of German soldiers' Stahlhelm from the early 20th century. And the archbishop wears a mitre with swastikas!◊ Quite possibly the earliest example of the trope (five years after the Nazis took power). | |

Modest Royalty: During his exile in Pereyaslavl, Alexander wears simple peasant clothing and hangs out with local fishermen. Even after being restored as Prince of Novgorod, he refrains from showing off his status (Truth in Television, because in Novgorod, the prince was more of a provisional military leader rather than an all-powerful sovereign). | |

Good Republic, Evil Empire: Novgorod at its height was a feudal republic with the prince being elected by the city council, severely limited in power and mostly just a figurehead — unless there was an imminent military threat. By contrast, the Knights were vassals of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Mongols... You get the idea. | |

Hate Sink: The entire army of the Teutonic Knights, since they slaughter innocent civilians and throw crying toddlers into bonfire. Grand Master in particular since he is their leader is this. The Bishop counts too. He might not directly ordered the crimes, but he gave his blessings to them. Finally, Tverdillo qualifies big time. He betrayed the Russian people and helped the German Teutonic knights in their crimes. It was very satisfying to see him being torn by the mob. | |
