Movie Reviews of Ilya Muromets
Movie Review: Russian Spirit personified - Ilya Murometz.
Summary: 5 Stars
There are always reasons to love and dislike films. However, some of them are borderline - we often do not know why a certain film is found appealing, or appalling. With this one the message is clear, its a tale of Russia's Hercules.
The story with "Ilya Murometz" is such that there a few films that can depict a Russian Spirit, Russian Soul - and that I think is what the character of this "bogatir" (a tatar word meaning "a stout, near perfection man, a hero") is all about. Ilya Murometz is a rural man, who is long paralyzed - with the help of travelling healers - he is healed and becomes a hero the world has never seen.
The movie is colorful, playful and is just very enjoyable in its naivete. Plus I had revealed absolutely nothing of the storyline, which is pretty architypically complicated - we encouter Ilya's tender relationship with his parents, his son, his wife. A relatinship between Ilya and his buddies - the other bogatirs who unlike him come from aristocratic families. And finally, Ilya's immense love for his homeland and its nature, and the liberating spirit which has brought him to life.
