Battleship Potemkin

This film truly surprised me. I had to watch this for film class and I really enjoyed it. While it’s a propaganda film, it still has great editing and cinematography with some insane sequence like the one on the steps. This truly paved the way for future films and editing.

While the cinematography and editing are brilliant and I was able to appreciate what this film has done for cinema and the art of filmmaking, this is still a piece of silent age Soviet propaganda. But yeah, that sequence on the Odessa steps is insane. 8/10

Goated propaganda. Would’ve radicalized me if I was a 1920’s Soviet peasant

3.5 /5

Silent film, but a good one.
It’s propaganda, yes, but I think it still is a great time capsule for the, at the time,new revolutionary heart of Russia. And I enjoyed the cinematography quite a bit if im honest. Downside: sometimes it gets a little boring…

watched in class so it felt like work, was rather interesting tho
