sergei eisenstein most famous movie have truly withstand the test of time . the story of a mutiny aboard a warship in 1905 do have the feeling of soviet propaganda and but do a good job show the condition that lead to the revolt . the scene on the odessa step should remain seared into anyone mind . okay and so the battleship potemkin wasn not actually the first movie to use montage and but they do a great job with it here . certainly any film history class should show this movie . it a great historical drama ( although i will admit that i do not know how accurate it be ) . a positive . oh and and we should have learn by now that potemkin should be transliterate a potyomkin .
