Иди и смотри / Come And See.



Come and See (Russian: "Иди и смотри", Idi i smotri) is a 1985 Soviet war movie/psychological horror[1] directed by Elem Klimov and starring Aleksei Kravchenko and Olga Mironova in the leading roles. The film is set in 1943 in various villages in Belarus during the Nazi occupation.
The screenplay was written by Ales Adamovich in collaboration with Elem Klimov. The words Come and See ("Иди и смотри" in Russian) quote from The Apocalypse of John, chapter 6, ...and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, "Come and see!" (In Russian: "...и я услышал одно из четырех животных, говорящее как бы громовым голосом: иди и смотри.")

==============================
Description:
A feature by Elem Klimov made from the script by Ales Adamovich. It was released in 1985 and ranks among the most horrifying war films. It`s not only about the war of 1941-1945 exactly, but about any war, its devastating force sweeping away the natural course of things. The film is based upon documental facts and `The Khatyn Story` by Ales Adamovich. The authors describe the place and events which became a symbol of national tragedy. The hero of the film is Flyora, a sixteen-year-old boy that turned to the woods to help the partisans. At the beginning he is just a kid. Then he lives through the horror of the Nazi executions and becomes amazingly grown-up, and even old. The war had distorted the once tender childish facial features - it`s all wrinkles now. The altered face of Flyora is the face of War. The authors were so true-to-life, uncompromising and austere as to portray in the centre of the film not some grown-up man, but an unexperie nced kid with his childhood still here.

=====================

The Master and Margarita (Russian: Мастер и Маргарита) is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, woven about the premise of a visit by the Devil to the fervently atheistic Soviet Union. Many critics consider the book to be one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, as well as one of the foremost Soviet satires, directed against a suffocatingly bureaucratic social order.

--------------------------------------
Main Characters in The Master and Margarita.
--------------------------------------
Contemporary Russians:

The Master.
An author who has written a novel about the meeting of Pontius Pilate and Yeshua Ha-Nozri. Put away in a psikhushka, where Bezdomny meets him.

Margarita.
The Master's lover. Trapped in a passionless marriage; devoted herself to The Master, who she believes dead. Does not appear until second half of the novel, where she serves as the hostess of Satan's Grand Ball on Walpurgis Night. (She is named after Faust's Gretchen -- whose real name is Margarita -- as well as Marguerite de Valois. Marguerite was the main character in an opera, Les Huguenots by Giacomo Meyerbeer which Bulgakov particularly enjoyed, and a novel by Alexandre Dumas, pere, La Reine Margot. In these accounts the queen is portrayed as daring and passionate. The character was also inspired by Bulgakov's last two wives, the first of which loved action and was physically daring, while the last was devoted to his work in the same way as Margarita is to the Master.)

Mikhail Alexandrovich Berlioz.
Head of the literary bureaucracy MASSOLIT, sentenced by Woland to death for his atheistic sentiment.

Ivan Nikolayevich Ponyrov (Bezdomny).
A young, aspiring poet. His pen name Bezdomny means "homeless". Initially a willing tool of the MASSOLIT apparatus, he is transformed by the events of the novel. Witnesses Berlioz's death.
---------------------------------------
Woland and his retinue:

Woland.
A "foreign professor" who is "in Moscow to present a performance of "black magic" and then expose its machinations". The exposure (as one could guess) never occurs, instead Woland exposes the greed and bourgeois behaviour of the spectators themselves. Satan in disguise.

Behemoth.
An enormous (said to be as large as a hog) black cat, capable of standing on two legs and talking. He has a penchant for chess, vodka and pistols. In Russian, "Begemot". The word itself means hippopotamus in Russian as well as the Biblical creature.

Koroviev / Fagotto.
An purported "ex-choirmaster"; this may imply that Koroviev was once a member of an angelic choir. Woland's assistant.

Azazello.
A menacing, fanged and wall-eyed member of Woland's retinue.
---------------------------------------
Characters from The Master's novel:

Pontius Pilate.
The Roman Procurator of Judaea.

Yeshua Ha-Nozri.
Wanderer who became Jesus of Nazareth.

Matthew Levi.
A Levite and former tax collector. Follower of Yeshua.

Judas Iscariot.
Testified against Yeshua thus causing him to be sentenced to death; later killed on Pilate's orders.
