Grigori Vasilyevich Aleksandrov or Alexandrov ((ロシア語:Григо́рий Васи́льевич Алекса́ндров) - original family name was Мормоненко or Mormonenko;〔Jay Leyda. ''Kino: A History of the Russian and Soviet Film.'' Princeton University Press, 1983. Page 124n.〕 23 January 1903, Ekaterinburg – 16 December 1983, Moscow) was a prominent Soviet film director who was named a People's Artist of the USSR in 1947 and a Hero of Socialist Labor in 1973. He was awarded the Stalin Prizes for 1941 and 1950. Initially associated with Sergei Eisenstein, with whom he worked as a co-director, screenwriter and actor, Aleksandrov became a major director in his own right in the 1930s, when he directed ''Jolly Fellows'' and a string of other musical comedies starring his wife Lyubov Orlova. Though Aleksandrov remained active until his death, his musicals, amongst the first made in the Soviet Union, remain his most popular films. They rival Ivan Pyryev's films as the most effective and light-hearted showcase ever designed for the Stalin-era USSR.〔See, e.g., Evgenii Dobrenko, Eric Naiman. ''The Landscape of Stalinism: The Art and Ideology of Soviet Space''. University of Washington Press, 2003. Page 205.〕 ==Early life and collaboration with Eisenstein== Aleksandrov was born Grigori Vasilyevich Mormonenko in Ekaterinburg, Russia in 1903. Starting at age nine, Aleksandrov worked odd jobs at the Ekaterinburg Opera Theater, eventually making his way to assistant director. He also pursued a musical education, studying violin at the Ekaterinburg Musical School, from which he graduated in 1917. Aleksandrov came to Moscow after studying directing and briefly managing a movie theater. In 1921, while acting with the Proletcult Theatre he met a then 23-year-old Sergei Eisenstein. Eisenstein and Aleksandrov collaborated on several plays before Eisenstein made his first feature length film, ''Strike'', which Aleksandrov co-wrote with Eisenstein, Ilya Kravchunovsky, and Valeryan Pletnyov. Next came Eisenstein's landmark ''The Battleship Potemkin'', in which Aleksdanrov played Ippolit Giliarovsky. Aleksandrov co-directed Eisenstein's next two features, ''October: Ten Days That Shook the World'' and ''The General Line'', which were also their last works in the silent era. Along with Eisenstein's other major collaborator, cinematographer Eduard Tisse, Aleksandrov joined the director when he came to Hollywood in the early 1930s. He also traveled with them to Mexico for the filming of Eisenstein's unrealized project about the country. An edited version of the footage, known as ''¡Qué viva México!'', was put together by Aleksandrov in 1979. 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「Grigori Aleksandrov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
