has to be seen more than once to fully appreciate it

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2008)

after viewing this film,i'm amazed at how much the director Sergei Eisenstein was able to get away with.many of the scenes must have been thought of as too brutal for audiences,and also as depicting the army in a negative lite.it depicts a revolution by the sailors on the battleship Potemkin in 1905,which spread beyond the ship to the street.there are some pretty impactful scenes in the movie,particularly during the demonstration in the street..i'm not a history buff,but i think the event actually did take place.this is silent film,so it's not for everyone.this is my 2nd viewing of the movie,the the first was over 10 years ago in a film studies class.i plan on watching it again soon.for me,the movie is well worth watching if you a classic film buff
