I'm sure Dovzhenko would have appreciated you littering ads all over his film.
well most Ukrainians don't appreciate this story being told over their Holocaust but life is made of little compromises
Bob Hooker ukrainian communists don’t appreciate you belittling their revolution with fascist propaganda
@@BobHooker cringe
hes trash anyway lmao.
@@BobHooker hmmmm sounds like something a kulak would say.
as my father was a soviet-society scholar, we watched many of these films in the late 50s and early 60s. i remember many of the imagery to this day. such a unique style.
To me look the same style of takes as Eisenstein
that's awesome, would love to be able to talk with someone knowledgeable like that in person, I have to read books for that.
@@princegobi5992 what are those books..
On it's whole, it's a grand masterpiece of world cinema. I've produced a thorough analysis of it in my channel, citing it's main features, meaning and influence. An utterly brilliant film.
Have you considered not pinpointing an advert break every 5 minutes? I understand you need to make revenue, but this quite clearly isn't your content... Other than that, thanks for the upload, I guess...
Well the entire food supply of Ukraine was not owned by the Russian cities but that is where it all ended up
Bob Hooker it’s almost as if major cities need to be fed and food is grown in the countryside. interesting.
@@BobHooker don't cut yourself on all that edge
@@BobHooker WHAT are you on about now? Isn't this movie good enough for you?
@@davidsanderson5918 Oh I don't know, millions of human beings who were slowly starved to death in the Ukraine by they system this movie glorifies would be a start I guess
One of the best film ever made ❤️ , I came here from inspirations of tarkovsky
me too
The film score is phenomenal.
Do you know who is the composer?
@@Xhester1 Aleksandr Popov (for 1997 German DVD remaster)
It is indeed. Loving the decision to explore shifts of tone colours with very little musical material to create the right ambience for the movie. Top notch film composing.
Почему-то в одном моде к одной игре-новелле диалог был такой:
"- Умираешь, Семен?
- Умираю, Петро.
- Так. Ну, умирай."
The montage starting at 34:08
Just spectacular
that dreamlike scene around the 45 minute mark. Wow.
Just incredible...
It is indeed. Combined with the miraculously good music....zowee!!
невероятный фильм! ни на что не похожий стиль! уникальный
Thank you sharing this visual poetry.
Didn't understand anything
There are subtitles
There's more going on than what is revealed in the subtitles. You have to study the faces, for one thing. Plus, as is the case with the other two preceding films in this 'trilogy', it helps if you have a sense of historical context.....and also an appreciation of or perhaps some foresight for human perspectives and what was at stake with regard to war, family, poverty and oppression of the individual.
If this was Hollywood it would've been spoonfed to the viewer but you have to think for yourself here.

Один з. Тоді було мало робіт, тож перші фільми потів вплинули на усіх.
Is anyone going to clean the reactionaries out of these comments???
More one from 1001 Movies to watch Before die
We've been shown the opening of the movie as part of the course Film History. Indeed beautiful, shoutout from Israel.

*Palestine
At 55:54 when he says "there is no God", it cuts to the preist, and when it returns to him you can see a fly run up his left chest and over his shoulder.
The fly has been used in other movies to denote the presence of Satan. I wonder if that was the intention here?
Don't think so, just look like a fly
It would surely have been impossible to contrive such an event in those days....ie. the behaviour of a fly!! BUT your interpretation may as well stand as....well that is the wonder of this level of cinema!! When it operates on another level, as is the case with work by Bergman for instance. Regardless of the filmmaker's intentions, it's wonderful to be enabled as a viewer to impose your own appreciation when the moment allows and there is something transcendent about what is happening on screen.
For those that don't get the hidden meaning, the film was about the new "global" controllers dismantling the remains of old world tech and introducing harmful ones, even in agricultural practices. The electromagnetic effects of old world copper plows were far more beneficial to growth, and 10 times easier to plow with as it simply vibrated with little effort with/through the soil, as opposed to force ripping it from itself, leaving an aether starved pile of dirt with which to try and grow. Don't fret Ukraine, it happened planet wide, across all industries. Best thing is, this version of reality is only temporary, which is why the global cabal are drawing the final battle lines in summer of 2024, they know the next event is coming, and their time is nigh... 😊 Lastly, it seems they've always been required to reveal the plans to us, veiled as they may be, and apparently we have free will to stop it, of which we've fallen a wee bit short. 😏
Amazing Ukrainian movie!
where can I find this film with DAKHABRAKHA music?
На українських кіно платформах. Може ще десь є, але на Нетфлікс я не знаходила
Vita Sackville-West mentions this film in "Family History" (1932)
This Vasili guy with his constant, weird grins may be the most "touched" main character I've ever seen who is apparently meant to be taken as a normal, rational person. The idiot grins about everything. But then again, a lot of the characters in this movie do things that don't make much sense, so I suppose I shouldn't expect our "hero" to be any different.
Grande regista ucraino Dovzenko
Dovzhenko/Dowzhenko*😅
Be vigilant. Resist.
This is one of the great Soviet films. Thanks for posting.
It's Ukrainian film. Olexandr Dovzhenko was Ukrainian. And he was repressed by Stalin for his love to Ukraine. Soviet Union stoled everything, killing ukrainians, just like Russia does now during this horrible war.
@@KMostipan це звичайто прокрасне уточнення, але цей фільм все це належить до доби совецької окупації.
@@arsla5308And never forget, that russia was never a great nation unless it subjugated Ukraine. It was true throughout history.That is why putin attacks today.
I'm afraid some of the subtitles are wrong. :/
Is this the original music?
I wrote this music specially for this film in 1997.

Can you tell me the name of the music through 1:00:00~1:10:00?? I like it
music by Alexander Popov from Sanct-Petrsburg .

superhero lollipops can never hope to top this
O filme, que criou o cinema poético é a montagem soviética pura. Influenciou o Tarkovsky
Цей фiльм ще не зовсiм поетичне кiно, вiн уважається "першими ластівками" українського поетичного кіно
Oh no! Poor vasyl!😢
i dont get it.
Music, best music
Thank you. It is my music.
@@alexanderpopov8854 Alexander, the music is utterly STUNNING and it not only supports the film but, to my mind, the film would be unthinkable now without it. I'm sure Dovchenko would have been delighted!! The death scenes, for instance, with the cellos playing intervals analogous to the wheezing of someone close to death....genius.
I have a PhD in Musical Composition and appreciate what you're doing motivically with your material as well as idiomatically with the orchestration of the woodwind and strings in particular. I hear Bartok, Stravinsky and Ligeti....(I love the clusters in the string writing around 53:10, the chromatic figure repeated a semitone lower each time which returns on tubular bells when the priest visits later on, amazing!!)... but then somehow you manage to seamlessly bring jazz into it (those piano chords when Basil dances down the road and indeed earlier when the women are binding up the corn).
Dare I say, it is very close to being the best music composed for a silent film that I've ever heard. Frankly I wish there was more demand for serious music fit enough for the concert hall. like yours is, to be 'commissioned' as a film score. Hans Zimmer's work is just that of a keyboard player compared to yours!!
It is truly great music in its own right, sir.
PS I'm watching this on bluray but came here especially to comment on your music. :) It is highly regretable that you are not credited on the release of this movie by Mr Bongo films....of course you'll be WELL aware of that. But you should know, that your work IS being appreciated by the audience out here!!

what is the music at 1hour~1.1hour please?
That music is so great
I found it
It is my music!
@@alexanderpopov8854 damn i didnt know you looked at youtube commentaries of films you made music of. anyway, just finished watching this one for the first time and i have to say, the music was amazing. really reinforced the power of the images
In the next 2 years the artificial famine occurred in 1932-3 the worst time to be alive . The actors to this film could be the victims of that famine ,one artist model in the Zaporozhian Cossacks writing a letter to the Sultan by Repin died because of the famine . I only know two persons who survived that famine one Shura Swered and Vasyl Hlad harrowing stories that they told .
wasn't a famine. This was genocide. Same as what Mao did to his own people in The Great Leap Forward
@@James_the_Builder genocide via famine
Engineered* famine = genocide!
@@James_the_Builder I`m afraid communism is one of the most diabolic ideologies along with Nazism. I wonder how many innocent people died under the brutal rule of communists in the world.
too much melodramatic..
Bear in mind that those wailing women in response to the news regarding collectivisation were a filmmaker's response to a politicsl move that would ultimately result in the loss of up to 14 million lives. I think the tears of anguish and frantic expressions are justifiable.
That said, the very few films from this period that avoid melodrama altogether (right now I can only think of Dreyer's Passion Of Joan Of Arc and Lang's M) are REMARKABLE for that avoidance. Try those!
@@davidsanderson5918 stop your brainwashed bs, the film maker was pro Stalin and in 1930 he did not know anything about what is going to be in the future due to famine, so he showed us nothing about what you said
subtitles please
click the "CC" button
Idiot
The movie has its style, and the director no doubt made a lot of effort to get his points through! But too often I was thinking surely no need to linger that long or repeat that often! As a propaganda movie (this is what it is), it is perhaps too artistic.
I disagree. I'm here for the cinematic art, not the political statement. Lingering = good.... :)
Why would anyone want to watch a propaganda movie in the first place!
I don't think it's intended as a propaganda film - if so, it's very ambivalent. For instance, at the funeral march, the frequent cuts to the priest and his prayers to punish those who have abandoned God doesn't exactly paint a very affirmative picture of the communist ideology.
Якщо б цей фільм не був би комуністично пропагандиським-його б скоріш за все знищили. Це так працювало та працює в авторитарних країнах.
LOL these actors have no idea what was about to happen in next few years. Pretty sure most of them were sent to gulags
Можливо🤷. Режисер потім ходив і вислуховував сповіді Сталіна, а потім його репресували.
The camera man ended up in a camp or executed, sadly
a movie THAT DOESN'T MOVE!!!!
What? The section where they're frenetically busting a gut, working in the field...that moves! And Basil's dance down the road with the spectral dust gathering in the air ftom his feet.....that's pretty kinetic!
Porqué no la subtitulan al español?
Puedes entrar en la configuración (la tuerca) y donde dice subtítulos: inglés vas a traducir automáticamente y en el menú buscas español. Eso es todo, disfrútala.

Гарне уточнення
Where did you read this? Liberal stuff?
Nope😅 you are absolutely soooo wrong
What is your goal??
Ukraine was part of the USSR. Stop trying to rewrite history. 🤣😂🤣
Aleksandr Dovzhenko's The Earth (1930) is a rather portentous, even ponderous, depiction of attempts to introduce Ukrainian farmers to the use of superior technology, i.e. the tractor. In real life, this failed, with inefficient Soviet systems incapable of supplying demand for replacement parts. Tractors were left to rust in fields.
Are people rapturous about this film -- there are many like it -- or about the purity of ideology presented therein? The images of stolid, noble peasant faces gets to be rather soporific after a while. A new music score (1997) by composer Alexander Popov manages to keep the interest.
While the images become unexpectedly compelling three-quarters of the way through, it might put things in perspective to contemplate the following: there's a good chance every single one of those people in the impressive crowd scenes would be dead of starvation in the next 2-3 years.
Kulaks (rich peasants) did not exist except in Lenin's and Stalin's fevered minds, and as a convenient category on paper. The famine was entirely man-made, the result of Stalin setting sky-high quotas. Not to disappoint the murderous tyrant, farmers overreported their yields. This led, unintentionally, to those entire yields and then some being confiscated, leaving the peasants with nothing.
Estimates of 4-7 million deaths are worse even than the Holocaust. An excellent book on the topic is British historian Robert Conquest's The Harvest of Sorrow (1988).
I dozed off at around 47 minutes , with those long shots of a guy walking along a path.
You missed a truly remarkable moment of cinema, then....where his movements suddenly become a euphoric dance. And the spectral dust clouding up from his feet. Groundbreaking moviemaking for the time.
За Родину СССР! За Советский Народ победитель!
Nik Geninik ну как-бы Александр Довженко был украинцем
@@hdufam при цьому щей не вірив у комунізм
actors who stare motionless, turn their head slightly, do the same "i'm in agony" body language three or four times (identical images!!!). This flick was made the same year as Anna Christie with Garbo in her first talking role, Whoopee an Eddie Cantor musical using three strip color; Feet First with Harold Lloyd featuring indoor and outside sound; Blood of a Poet, surreal special effects by Cocteau; and masterpiece Hell's Angels by Howard Hughes. All stellar flicks filled with action, stars, excellent line and methods used even today. Compared with any of them, this is a turd.
diddymuck Tarkovsky’s STALKER came out the same year as ALIEN, APOCALYPSE NOW and LIFE OF BRIAN. Does that mean that film has to be made in the same way, or use the same techniques? I think not.
None of those movies had people pissing in a tractor
That, my friend, is argument winning statement.
The natural images and the way they dominate the film, as opposed to the acting, make this film as influential as anything you just listed. Imagine Terrence Malick, Robert Bresson, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, or even Straub-Huillet's Too Early/Too Late without it.
And still, this film is so much poetic and artistically superior to all the films you listed. Funny how movement alone does not tell anything about quality, concept and sense. Films are a whole aesthetic experience, nothing to do with fast movements.
