Biographical paintings... The infamous fame has been established for this genre in recent decades. These were filmed prefaces to the collected works of great people. As it should be in the preface, quotes were scattered abundantly and conscientiously in such films. And these quotes were uttered by the heroes of cinematic anthologies themselves.
The authors of "The Stars of Ulugbek" decided to build drama on a dynamic, fascinating plot. But, unfortunately, they did not protect themselves from many banal situations inherent in some historical and biographical paintings. All these palace intrigues, treacherous actions of the traitor son, without revealing the image of Ulugbek at all, reduce the philosophical sound of the film.
Luck comes in those episodes when the authors show the tragedy of a philosopher whose thought has overtaken the modern Middle Ages. The sharply outlined conflict between Sultan Ulugbek and the head of the Samarkand Muslims, the obscurantist Khoja Ahrar, enriching from episode to episode with new plot positions, develops vigorously, violently and militantly. However, sometimes it seems that such a plot assertiveness is more befitting a film about a war, a commander, than a life story of a philosopher.
It is characteristic that the wonderful actor People's Artist of the USSR Shukur Burkhanov, who played the main role, shows his talent much more generously and richer in scenes where Ulugbek reveals himself as a sage than in those associated with the military exploits of the sultan. The irony of a philosopher talking about the ignorance and darkness of the century, gentle wisdom in communicating with his beloved wife Firuza, with students, the power of light and knowledge in a dispute with Khoja Akhrar give the viewer a much more idea of the mighty figure of the thinker than the history of battles with unknown nomads (a tribute to the chronological table of the history of Uzbekistan) or the war with the traitor son.
Old Samarkand is beautifully filmed. Narrow fortress streets, Ulugbek Observatory, ancient mosques. The second plan is successful. Especially in the scenes taking place on the street filled with artisans' workshops and shops, which has become a full—fledged hero of the picture, the ubiquitous, omniscient, evil-tongued and kind-hearted Samarkand bazaar creates a national image of the highest wisdom - the wisdom of the people. A fleeting detail is magnificent — a bazaar potter. He flashed twice in the film: a torn turban, an ironic smile, smeared hands stroking clay, and the eternal rotation of the machine. Wars are thundering by, a treacherous son and a noble father are fighting for the throne in the palace, the vain Khoja Ahrar is scheming, and the machine keeps turning, turning, turning... And there is a Khayyam image of a people making history.
It is those episodes in which the authors reveal the true folk historicity, and are not carried away by detective constructions, that bring success to the picture, by the way, very interesting in terms of pictorial solution.
