    As an addon for a war movie made by leftists but not really anti war, Alexander Nevsky. Same director, score composed by Prokofiev. Tells the story of the battle on the ice between the prince of novgorod, Alexander Nevsky, and the Teutonic order. First, it's an anti nazi film if you take a look at many elements, as it was published in 1939 in russia, and second its very very revolutionary for its time. Battle scenes have an epic scale and perfect music, film techniques are invented that we still use today. Highly reccomend as an excellent medieval war movie with strong anti nazi sentiments and interesting scoring and visuals.
