or may contain spoiler and but of course it do not matter positive . or battleship potemkin be one stun spectacle of haunt image . the visual direction be ( well and and have be ) inspiring and the sheer scale of the film be impressive and and the technique be certainly pioneer . what be really amazing be and to my mind and the depth and effectiveness of a film and devoid of proper literary script and sound ( save the soundtrack ) and decent image quality and the faux profound ( self ) referentialism of today and exceptional acting and pretense and etc . what you get be a purely visual experience to be remember . btw and the previous poster note represent eisenstien felt after a lot of suffer to give the hero what they want . the problem be that you think eisenstein be build up to a big final fight and then he trick you . it a little cheap . i would have rather see a huge final action scene . i must warn you and that the end be not cheap and and eisenstein wasn not be generous to the hero . history and however and be . potemkin really do go through the squadron a it be show in the film . finally and i would strongly recommend see battleship potemkin to anyone more or less seriously interested in cinema . see it with a fellow movie buff and it keep me talk for hour . however and if you tend to consider film and generally accept a great or classic and to be slow or boring and this film might not be for you yet . not much cheap entertainment here . for me though and it be a full positive .
