BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN

[asin: 630509033]

Positive Experience/Entertaining? Very much so! Good acting (if a bit melodramatic, the norm of the time), very suspenseful and almost forgivable that it's pro-communist propaganda. ;)
Technically any good? This film invented a lot of the language of cinema we all take for granted now. Seriously--I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find a film or TV show (and even comics or paintings) that don't inadvertently borrow something from this film. Hey, all of those "cinematic words" keep getting used for a reason. While the acting may seem hokey by today's standards, it doesn't take much effort to look past the hokiness and read the emotions we're supposed to be feeling. This film is pretty powerful and makes some great statements about the abuse of power and the ability of the little guy(s) to team up to fight back.
How did it leave me feeling? Very satisfied. I highly recommend this film to anyone who is interested in viewing a piece of cinema history and a good film.
Final Rating? GBD - Go Buy the DVD - It's on Amazon and probably your local Best Buy.
