''Taras Bulba'' ((ロシア語:Тарас Бульба)) is a historical drama film, based on the novel ''Taras Bulba'' by Nikolai Gogol. The movie was filmed on different locations in the Ukraine such as Zaporizhia, Khotyn and Kamianets-Podilsky as well as in Poland. The official release was rescheduled several times; at first for the spring of 2008 but was finally released on April 2, 2009,〔(Coffee and conversation with Bohdan Stupka, THE DAY WEEKLY DIGEST, #17, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 )〕〔(www.film.ru )〕 to coincide with Gogol’s bicentennial.〔(The Politics of “Taras Bulba”: Do They Matter? ) Global Comment〕 The author's edition of 1842 (considered more pro-Russian〔), expanded and rewritten (into the text most readers know), was used for the film. The film DVD was released in the USA under the alternate title ''The Conqueror'' in 2010,〔(Link )〕 and in the UK in 2011 as ''Iron & Blood: The Legend of Taras Bulba''.〔 ==Controversies== The film was partly financed by the Russian Ministry of Culture and has been criticized in Ukraine for being a part of political propaganda "resembling leaflets for Putin". The director Vladimir Bortko has also stated that the movie aimed to show that "there is no separate Ukraine":〔 This view is strongly opposed by nationalistic Ukrainians.〔(Economic Interdependence in Ukrainian-Russian Relations ) by Paul J. D'Anieri, State University of New York Press, 1999, ISBN 978-0-7914-4246-3 (page 22)〕〔(Russia in the Modern World:A New Geography ) by Denis J. B. Shaw, Wiley-Blackwell, 1999, ISBN 978-0-631-18134-7 (page 257)〕 In Russia there were fears that the movie would exacerbate historical disagreements with Ukraine. The film was also cautiously watched in Poland, where its possible anti-Polish character was widely discussed and its propagandist elements examined.〔 (Dokąd tak pędzisz, Kozacze? ) Sebastian Chosiński, Esensja 26 IV 2009〕 This was enhanced by the fact that the filmmakers added some scenes depicting Polish brutality to the original plot by Gogol〔 (Taras Bulba" w reżyserii Władimira Bortko kolejnym filmem antypolskim? ) Polish Portal on Ukraine, 2009-04-01〕〔(Taras Bulba wjeżdża do kin ) Justyna Prus, Tatiana Serwetnyk, Rzeczpospolita 31-03-2009〕 The cover of the US DVD edition (titled ''The Conquerer'') has the tagline "Between Fire and the Sword Lies a Hero", a possible underhand reference to Polish anti-Cossack book and film ''With Fire and Sword'' (Polish: Ogniem i mieczem).〔Cover on Amazon.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Taras Bulba (2009 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
