Google doodle today: 43rd Anniversary of the Film "Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future"

The past, present, and future combine in real time for the 43rd anniversary of the Russian film Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future by director Leonid Gaidai. The picture hit the scene with more than 60 million tickets sold—making it one of the most attended movies ever in the Soviet Union. Based on the original 1930s play by Michail Bulgakov, the technology was updated for the 1970s film to include more modern touches—a tape recorder replaced the original phonograph and a more advanced time machine used transistors to transcend time and space. Russian viewers young and old know the plot very well: commotion involving a time machine, Shurik the inventor, the superintendent, members of the elite, the secret police, foreign ambassadors and Tsar Ivan the Terrible, himself. Doodler Nate Swinehart, chose to feature the most iconic moment in the film: “This shot was a lot of fun to re-create and paint, I even hand drew the type to match the kooky ‘60s aesthetic of the film. Getting to make silly content that makes people smile is one of my favorite things to do.” All these years later, one question still remains—was the whole thing just a dream? *** Name of doodle: 43rd Anniversary of the Film “Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future” This doodle was shown: 21.09.2016 Countries, in which doodle was shown: Kazakhstan, Russia Keyword for this doodle: Ivan Vasilievich: Back to the Future, Иван Васильевич кәсібін өзгертеді Link to doodle image: http://ift.tt/2d8JaPG
