IN the year 6745 (1237), within twelve years after the arrival of the miraculous icon of St. Nicholas from Kherson, the godless Emperor Batu invaded the Russian land with a great multitude of his Tatar warriors and set up camp on the river Voronezh near the city of Ryazan[...]

Different look on Mouth of Sauron

"A tall and evil shape, mounted upon a black horse… The rider was robed all in black, and black was his lofty helm; yet this was no Ringwraith but a living man ... his name is remembered in no tale, for he himself had forgotten it."

Lieutenant of Barad-dûr are shown as an ugly and creepy man with big sharp teeth. But did he always looks like this? I find rare pictures of young Mouth of Sauron at the beggining at the beginning of his career .

Mouth of Sauron, by MeliHitchcock

I think, LOTRO character designers were inspirited by this art.

In the Battle of Black Gates addon Mouth of Sauron was look like mongol or Chinese

Batu Khan from Russian movie " Legend of Kolovrat".

But then, in the Black Book of Mordor , they changed Dulgabeth's look...It seems that after Sauron's defeat herald began to age rapidly and decrepit.

If you come close to him in the 'Union of Evil" instance , you will see Black word's face under the helmet mask . He has got a big nose with wide nostrils(may be sometimes he wear a nose poke, hehe) .

His cargul guard looks younger , may be their faces is copies of young Mouth of Sauron

And this is Dulgabeth in his best years, aart by Yzah (https://www.deviantart.com/yzah)

Possibly it is he too

But finally, Dulgabeth have to wear a mask , hiding his blindness

Union of Salvation (2019) Review

Perks of being in Russia for the week: I get to see a Russian movie at the cinema! 

Plot: A group of officers of the Russian Imperial Guard prepares a revolt in December 1825, when about 3,000 officers and soldiers refused to swear allegiance to the new tsar.

As a Russian myself (if you didn’t know), I have been generally quite displeased with how Russian cinema has been in the past decade. The lack of quality and originality was in full showcase, and it seemed like the entertainment industry in Russia was trying to copy European and American filming styles rather than keep it their own and making use of their own culture. Gone were the days of Soviet cinema, when some of my favourite films of all time have come out. Hey, I’m not saying I'm a communist, I’m just saying they made decent films back then. Those two factors are completely unrelated. Modern Russian films, on the other hand, have been a huge disappointment for me, minus the animated movies that have had some marginal success. That being said, in the past year or so I have noticed vast improvements. There is still a lot of rubbish that comes out, for example, the just newly released film Invasion by director Fedor Bondarchuk is one of the most generic (and messy) science fiction flicks I have ever seen, but on the other hand Legend of Kolovrat (2017), Three Seconds (2017), T-34 (2018), and the recent comedy The Peasant all have their charm to them. Heck, even the Chinese/Russian co-produced fantasy epic Viy 2: Journey to China that came out back in September brought us the amusing showdown between Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger! So Russian film studios are getting back and slowly finding their own, and this new released historical epic Union of Salvation (in Russian Союз спасения) is an example of that.

Union of Salvation is a large scale historical study that describes some of the more difficult pages of the history of the Russian Empire. The revolt of the Decembrists had to show the emperor that the old rules and laws were no longer able to restrain the empire from collapse, and although the rebellion was suppressed, it became a special precedent that brought the country under global historical changes. This is a very difficult subject to take on, however, director Andrey Kravchuk makes the wise choice of not taking any sides, and instead telling us this story fact by fact, letting the audience themselves decide who was right and who was wrong, for there are many ways to interpret the righteousness of the entire matter. So the choice was made to cast actors with very likeable faces in all the roles, and the way each character is presented is one that makes you understand their motives well, and see that none of them were particularly bad people, at least not in this version. 

Extra marks to the film for making use of an instrumental version of the song “Progulki po Vode” by the band Nautilus Pompilus from the Perestroika times (a political movement for reformation within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union during the 1980s). Rather fitting to the subject matter as a symbolical comparison, and worked strongly as a musical accompaniment to what was happening on screen. In fact, I think the entire score in this film worked to grand effect. Really added the right amount of urgency and tension to the scenes. In fact, technically speaking, this is one of the more gorgeous looking Russian films I have seen in recent years. The scenery is rich with colour (captured expertly by the stunning cinematography), the costumes stand-out and are accurate to the time, and the large scale battle sequences are impressive with some very slick visual effects for a film that is not a Hollywood movie. 

As a whole Union of Salvation is a very impressive feat, that might bore some due to having many scenes revolving around characters simply talking and the film jumping from year to year basically re-telling historical facts, however, if you are interested in history as well as seeing a good Russian movie, try and seek this one out. I mean, to be honest, the film has only come out in Russia and nowhere else so far, so I guess I can only recommend this to Russian people or tourists that have come to visit Russia for the New Year celebrations. In any case, it’s a good movie, I think I have put my point across.

Overall score: 8/10

Fantastični intervju – Svarog

Da li ste znali da je u slovenskoj mitologiji bilo moguće biti jedno od najviših božanstava, ali u isto vreme ne biti moćan kao ostali bogovi? I da bez obzira što niste silni kao Perun ipak gospodarite bogovima? Zvuči neverovatno. Neka vam on ispriča kako je došlo do toga.

AVKF: Nije mala stvar upoznati oca i stvoritelja bogova.

Say hello to the fabulous Khan Aleksandr Tsoi. The actor made a living playing various Asian comic relief characters.

You should watch Legend of Kolovrat, it is one of the few good modern Russian movies.

They’re still spouting off “global audience” crap and that the idea of what characters look like are in the eye of the beholder despite said characters eye/skin/hair/height/etc being described in the books in detail

But they seem to be trying to do a good job at matching actresses who can look like the characters to their roles who also have decent acting repertoire (Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra)

Despite the producers actively doing the opposite before they got caught
