Ivan the Terrible

In Ivan the Terrible the actors seemed to be over-exaggerated their body language and facial expression. In that sense it was similar to the Battleship Potemkim, however there was sound and more scene time. The camera didn't shift around so much as it did in Battleship Potemkim but rather stayed focus on one person or group at a time. Its obvious that Anastasia had some kind of relationship through a constant show of affection from Prince Kurbsky. This film had a lot of music constantly filling in the spaces of awkward, non-talking, staring scenes.  I didn't particularly enjoy the music throughout the music, it was very loud and the quality was poor and just really got annoying to me. Overall it was not a movie that I really enjoyed. The story was hard to follow because the intense emotions without talking shown by the actors made it so you had to assume things, which made me unsure of the actual storyline. Not my favorite movie but there was certainly something to learn
