The Movie Name Game III - Part 5

Alexander Nevsky
(Sergei M. Eisenstein, 1938)
Russian nationalism, a battle on the ice and some rousing Prokofiev music are the ingredients in Eisenstein’s propaganda pic. The setting may be the 13th century, but Nevsky’s defeat of the Teutons had a topical resonance at a time when the threat from Hitler loomed ever larger. Stalin was a fan: during the second world war, he named an award “The Order Of Alexander Nevsky For Bravery” after the hero the movie celebrated.
