eisenstein wasn not just one of the great soviet and russian and films wouldirectors and but one of the great master of the cinema and among griffith and murnau and ford and hitchcock and welles and and others . one of the great thing in all his film be the edition and very personal and and in this movie be exceptional . this be his first sound movie and the use of the musical score by great russian composer serge prokofiev in the sequence of the battle be a perfect contrast between music and image . watch this film be like take a class or lesson in cinema and something that no many film director can afford . i never get tired of watch real classic like this film . i hope that in near future more people will recognize a great work of art .
