Slow and tedius

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2004)

I live in Canada but I am an American citizen. I have no clue as to why any American would be enthralled with the Russian revolution. It was important to them, I know, but I found the movie a real snoozer.
I suppose what made it interesting for so many people was the implied sex (not allowed in the theater at that time.) And too, a lot of viewers probably claimed they understood it when they didn't. I heard a movie critic say the original novel didn't do well because it was too difficult to understand. Also, it started in black and white and then suddenly without reason certain women's dresses were suddenly bright pink or red. doesn't make any sense.
There are much, much better screenplays out there.
