Ivan the Terrible (Russian Иван Грозный, Ivan Groznyy) is a 1944 Soviet Russian historical drama film duology, Sergei Eisenstein's second (and last) sound film and a Spiritual Successor to Alexander Nevsky, with Nikolay Cherkasov in the main role once again.This highly stylized film duology chronicles the life of the (in)famous Ivan IV "The Terrible", from his rise as a Prince henpecked by the Boyars, feudal nobleman, to a powerful Tsar who will unite Russia into a gigantic kingdom. Part I chronicles the Prince's marriage, his benign and happy early years, his wars in the Kazan, personal tragedy and eventual rise. Part II shows the Prince preparing to stave off the Boyars from making a resurgence, establishing his special secret police, the Oprichniki, and finally embracing his destiny as Groznyy (The Terrible).The first film was made during World War II, and had the support and help of Josef Stalin, whose Cult of Personality invoked Ivan. Eisenstein conceived of the film as a trilogy, yet only two parts were finished, with Part III being cancelled in mid-production because Stalin was very critical of Part II, followed by Eisenstein's death a brief while later. Part I released in 1944 earned the director the Stalin Prize (Soviet Nobel Prize-cum-Oscar) and was well received internationally. The second part, shot back-to-back with the first one, was completed in 1946. However it was shelved, and it was released only in 1958 long after Eisenstein's and Stalin's death. Part II became especially famous for its color sequence (shot on Agfacolor film stock captured by Red Army troops in Nazi Germany).It is regarded as a classic of Soviet/Russian and world cinema and is available on The Criterion Collection. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
| Ivan the Terrible / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: While fighting against insidious, immoral, and corrupt boyars, the tsar slowly descends into brutality, paranoia and outright madness. Most notably in Part II, Ivan IV gives a Motive Rant as to why he hates the boyars, noting that as a child they separated him from his mother. At the end of that, Ivan IV kills Vladimir in front of his mother Efrosinia. Film historians, noting the subtext and the Freudian themes in the film, suggest that this was part of the film's critique. Ivan IV is a populist monarch who appeals to the people rather than the nobleman, but he ends up becoming the tyrant he had opposed to start with, noting that this was part of Eisenstein's Self-Deprecation on the entire Soviet generation. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| Ivan the Terrible / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: Ivan IV was always better regarded in Russia than across Europe. Even aside from the Stalinist propaganda, the film does highlight the Tsar's drive to unify and centralize the monarchy and curtail the power of the corrupt noblemen, one reason for his real-life popularity. Part 1 does exaggerate the Tsar's "populism" however. The second part, however, shows Ivan IV building and empowering the Oprichniki. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Ivan the Terrible / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: The movie takes many, many liberties with history. For instance, most of Ivan the Terrible's opponents are conflated into Eufrosinia Staritskaya and her son. In reality, Ivan the Terrible had seven wives; only one is shown in the film. Many events from his life are omitted or rearranged in sequence, etc. All this was done to present him, at least in Part I, as a positive figure. | |

Adaptation Distillation: Malyuta, Ivan's Side Kick, chief of Oprichnina is a peasant who wants to execute aristocrats. That trope easily fits the movie format. Historical Malyuta was a low-ranking aristocrat who resented high ranking aristocrats, explaining the Side Kick's character arc would have taken too long. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Ivan the Terrible / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Eisenstein conceived the film as a historical film in the tradition of William Shakespeare's history plays (also propaganda for the Tudor and Jacobean monarchs) and so deliberately modelled the film on Hamlet, King Lear and Macbeth. Visually, the film is filled with a range of artistic and literary references. It alludes at several times to Paul Gauguin, Giotto and other historical paintings in its compositions and references. | |

Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon | |
| Ivan the Terrible / int_cc39902e | comment |
Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Fyodor Basmanov is angelically beautiful. He is also Ivan the Terrible's fanatically loyal right hand man in crime and happily sings about murder and burning in hellishly lit banquets | |

Kubrick Stare: Lots. In the coronation scene that kicks off Part I, all of Ivan's rivals and enemies are looking at him this way. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade | |
| Ivan the Terrible / int_e16217f8 | comment |
Historical Villain Upgrade: The Oprichniki in Part II, according to Stalin and the Central Committee. They are depicted as Ku Klux Klan-type fanatics rather than, in Stalin's words, "the progressive army"note Stalin noted that the Oprichnina were a National Royal army loyal to the King rather than feudal bannerman, which in a Marxist Hegelian sense, was paving the way for dialectical transformation of Kingdom-to-Nation and so, makes Ivan IV "progressive". Needless to say, describing the Oprichniki as an army is highly generous, most historians see them as being more like an Inquisitorial body and Police State.. | |
