But here, I still want to "risk the world" and talk about the inadequacies of this movie.
Soviet films (including those in the former Soviet Union) were more or less a matter of form rather than content. The great Eisenstein was actually not exempt.
This is most evident in the passage of "Odessa Stairs", in which Eisenstein almost "crazy" shows a "cross montage" shot, which obviously makes the passage itself seem a bit "" The narrative logic" is messed up. (For example: what happened to the cradle that didn’t stop falling?)
In fact, I prefer the last paragraph in the film. The navy soldiers who were sent by the Russian government to suppress the people ended up dramatically falling into the arms of the people. . Compared with "Odessa Stairs", this sequence is quite simple and direct, but it is full of strong artistic and emotional appeal.
This is the perfect combination of technology and content!
