1. Why are such high scores on IMDB, Kinopoisk and Imhonet??
2. In the 16th century, all Russians had no idea about basic hygiene, never washed, went without teeth, etc.
3. Ivan the Terrible:
He was a religious fanatic, a madman.
He could not rule the state because he was incapable.
- engaged exclusively in killing and mocking innocent people and prayed between the abuses.
Grozny's environment was matched by himself: mad sadists
- the wife of the Terrible resembles a maniac woman from a thrash horror movie
4. Domogarov - so could play any extra. No good role.
5. Kuznetsov is completely unsuitable for the role of Malyuta.
6. Mamonov played interestingly, but he played not Grozny, but a completely different person - an interesting eccentric who has little in common with the historical character.
7. Dullest battles. I know they're not the thing. It would be better if they did not exist at all, or it gives low-budget consumer goods, such as "Alexander Nevsky".
History is distorted for a specific purpose. In general, the film barely sat down, but judging by high estimates, you will certainly like it.
