Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-18 00:00:00 Sean Gray The interesting thing about reviewing screenplays is seeing how much changes between the script and the final project. This book contains the screenplay for three movies, even though only two were ever made. The Soviet Union created the world's first film school as a way of further develop the tools to spread the ideas of the October Revolution. Eisenstein was the USSR's first great film-maker and was crucial to developing modern film theory. This book contains interviews with people who worked on this film and an interesting interview with Stalin himself. Stalin had a luke-warm reception to part 2 of "Ivan" and when Eisenstein died during the making of part 3, had what little film footage that was shot destroyed (Sergei Eisenstein had started sneaking in veiled references to Stalin's regime in parts 2 & 3). Luckily, the script of part 3 survives and gives us a full picture to what the film-maker's grand vision from this WWII-era epic of Soviet film-making.
