  IVAN - LoveToKnow Article on IVAN   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
Ivans refusal to share his conquests with his brothers, and his subsequent interference with the internal politics of their inherited principalities, involved him in several wars with them, from which, though the princes were assisted by Lithuania, he emerged victorious.
Ivan meditated the regeneration of Muscovy, and the only men who could assist him in his task were men who could look steadily forward to the future because they had no past to look back upon, men who would unflinchingly obey their sovereign because they owed their whole political significance to him alone.
Ivans generals (he himself rarely took the field) were generally successful at first, and bore down their enemies by sheer numbers, capturing scores of fortresses and towns.

Yet Ivan's fall from innocence is particularly extreme since his raison d'etre compels him to chase an entity that he is too afraid to define and that would transpire to be a phantom were it anything less than the Third Reich itself.
Ivan, passionate yet helpless in an unyielding and dangerous world, exposes himself too often and is doomed to die very young in the captivity of the Nazis by execution.
The lives of soldiers Ivan meets and his surroundings are explored with a scrutiny equal to that of the sensitive Ivan to the extent that the story line diverges from the main completely to consider the romantic life of an officer and his hopeless advances towards an army nurse.

 Hurricane Ivan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ivan broke several hydrological records; it is credited with possibly causing the largest ocean wave ever recorded, a 91-foot (27 meter) wave that may have been as high as 131 feet (40 m), and the fastest seafloor current, at 2.25 meters per second (5 miles per hour).
As Hurricane Ivan's sustained 125 mph (200 km/h) winds wreaked havoc in the Caribbean, the swirling eye of the hurricane was photographed on September 11, 2004 from aboard the orbiting International Space Station (ISS) at an altitude of about 230 miles (370 km).
As Ivan approached the island late on September 10, it began a westward jog which kept the eye and the strongest winds to the south and west.

A family name, or surname, is that part of a person's name that indicates to what family he or she belongs.
It is extremely rare for men in Western countries to take the name of their wives; this was chiefly done in the Middle Ages, when the man was from a low-born family and was marrying an only daughter, and was thus designated to carry on his wife's family name.
A separate class of surnames is constituted by names derived of the names of szlachtas coats of arms.

Tarkovsky’s films are foremost among films that make their own way of dwelling within time a primary preoccupation; they demand a level of attention far beyond that needed for the task of being entertained by commercial cinema, and they repay this attention with their complexity, precision, and depth.
The war film Ivan, like the mediæval panorama Andrei Rublev (1966; March 8 at 10:30 a.m., March 9 at 2 p.m.), is structured in extended episodes that tell a linear story obliquely (since the episodes are at varying distances from the main story).
Such shots are representative of the filmmaker’s insistence on extending the image in all directions: up (as at the beginning of Ivan’s Childhood and the end of The Sacrifice), sideways, down.

A lot, more than a lot, everyhting that was appropriate to Ivan's age was gone from his life, and in its place he was bestowed with evil endowments of the destruction that concentrated within him and seized him.
Ivan himself could have been invented, or it might have been based on a real life incident, as there were a number of adolescents and pre-adolescents executed by the Nazis and martyred by the communists after the war.
In the written story Ivan is a lot more human and is corrupted by the affiliation with elite soldiers and better food rations of an intelligence unit he is with.

Ivan (Nikolai Burlyayev, who went on to a succesful career in Soviet film) is a child spy in WWII; his entire family is dead, and he has no purpose other than to seek revenge.
Whether or not he succeeds is far from the point; the point is that Ivan's childhood has been robbed from him and, in the chaotic environment of war, he's a walking ghost.
Ivan may be a real child or he may just be a symbol; it's impossible to tell.

And Ivan, which is much bigger than Charley and much more powerful than Frances (it has been developing SO FAST that it could become the 2nd or 3rd most powerful hurricane to hit the United States mainland in recorded history, after Camille and/or Andrew), will likely be the worst yet.
Ivan strengthened even as it was over Grenada on Tuesday, becoming a Category 4 storm and getting even more powerful as it headed across the Caribbean Sea on a projected route to bear down on Jamaica late Thursday.
Ivan became the fourth major hurricane of the season on Sunday, coming hard on the heels of Hurricane Frances, which killed at least two people in the Bahamas and 14 in the U.S. states of Florida and Georgia.

For a first feature, "My Name Is Ivan" is masterly, from Tarkovsky's evocative choice of music and his precise editing to the extraordinarily moving performance he coaxes out of the brilliant young actor, Kolya Burlayev.
"My Name Is Ivan," of course, ends tragically, and the final frames of Ivan's exhilaration are mercilessly cut short by the director.
"My Name Is Ivan," at least, will never be remade; as most great films do, it speaks a language unto itself, but it does so with a clarity that viewers of any stripe will understand.

 Ivanovo detstvo (1962)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
It most closely resembles some of the other 'names' in purely artistic cinema of the day in terms of formal style, Tarkovsky having not at that point worked out his own unique and so far inimitable 'style', if that's the right word.
The key performance comes from Ivan himself, a fine effort from one so young, and indeed Tarkovsky used him again in the bell section of Andrei Rublev; although he used rather harsh methods to get the performance he wanted in that case.
The film's title is ironic as Ivan does not have a childhood, but the films majestic and moving final shot suggests that Ivan does receive a kind of immortality beyond the bleak finality of his discovered photo in Berlin, that the Russian spirit itself cannot be stifled and will ultimately run free.
