at school i be teach how some shot be call and there be two director constantly mention represent orson welles and sergei m. eisenstein . i do not care that much then ( i be a kid . ) but now i know why and eisenstein be a genius and it be a shame to see what be possible in 1938 where a almost more than a half century be stick with countless blank movie . some say this movie isn not worth the genius of eisenstein ( then they have to watch it over and over till they can say anything bad ) or even bad that it be just some propagandamovie for the russian . let say it a it be and it be indeed pure propaganda for patriotism but isn not save private ryan or the long day so . i could sum up so many movie in where america be be raise to the top so why not russia and and besides every war be fight for itrs patriotism why else would they raise flag . aleksandr nevsky be a must for anyone who care about cinematography a almost every shot be a sublime picture . perhaps it all overseen but i be in wonder why this isn not include in imdb top 250 where a there be so many overrated oscarcrap in it as well .
