Ori okeanis saidumloeba (1957)
Reflections of Stalinism in 1950's Soviet art.
In order for Stalin to wrest power from and crush the early revolutionary Soviet Union he had to imprison and kill millions of revolutionary's (disbanding the society of Old Bolshivics) and any one who he perceived as a threat to him and his degenerate bureaucratic castes privileges. During the Moscow frameup trials ever member of Lenin's Politbureau was tried and executed with the exception of Trotsky who was tried in absentia and later murdered in Mexico. Stalin saw plots every where. Engineers, Doctors, workers, peasants, military officers and people from ever part and segment of society. You constantly had to keep up with the "Great Georgian's" latest idea or risk prison and death. This movie like James Bond reflects the Stalinist and Bourgeoisie view alike that history is made by plotters and coup d'etat not the view that history is made and being made by the masses of working people. It may make good fiction but bad politics. To see the difference check out early Soviet movies and Cuban movies where questions like bureaucracy and revolution are the subjects.
