What did you think of Andrei Rublev? The bell sequence and epilogue are going to be impossible to forget.

Feet. Give us more SJW feet. Celebrity star wars nudes too if you got em. No blacks. Thx senpai.
Beautiful movie in every sense of the word, but I've never been able to appreciate it quite as much as most people seem to.
I do wish we got some actual scenes of Andrei painting, I don't understand what could have driven that decision. The bell sequence is fantastic though. I also love the Pagan sequence.
Anatoly Solonitsyn was one great actor. This movie convinced me he would be a perfect fit for Alyosha in a Brothers Karamazov adaptation.
What do you guys take as the overarching political/theological message from this film? I don't know much about religions or European history, but it seemed to me this film was a pretty heavy indictment of the Orthodox Church and the forcing of Christian worship. Andrei's connection to God was in his deeds and his art, not in organized religion. I'm sure it's no coincidence that this fell greatly in line with Andrei the director's views too.
Thoughts?

But without the church he wouldn't have had a chance to produce his art.

nah man the perfect Alyosha is William Shatner

With the Church he doesn't have a chance to produce his art. The Church has him paint propoganda like The Last Judgement instead of the icons he means to create to provide people a window to worship. Of course he ended up painting those for the Church too, but there's no reason he couldn't have painted without the Church.
Of course I may be entirely wrong. It's been about a year since I last watched this so my ideas may be sketchy here, but that's the impression I got from the film.

Great film but terrible flick

Unforgettable. The epilogue showing all the paintings combined with the music is pretty chilling, I feel.
I thought the War centerpiece was unnecessary
though I suppose thats an aspect that ages more than others and was probably quite thrilling in its time

They actually killed that horse in real life.

the whole orthodox christianity relies on personal connection with god, read up on grigorius palama and hesychasm, im not sure how those two are spelled in english

>the Pagan sequence.
watching that for the first time was insane, couldn't believe what i was seeing
a brutal, emotional and human film

yeah exactly, the opening scene is clearly anti-religous - the church/state stopping the progress of technology
but it also shows the church (the building) being used as sanctuary against the tartars. symbolising how the church (the institution & spiritual belief) was a sanctuary for the poor and oppressed during sad times for them
