An overrated propaganda mov
25 December 2002
MY RATING- 6.2 Seen this the other day and I found it a fine propaganda vehicle that only Eisenstein can create, with long shots, quick shots, and great camera work to glorify the russian people. Of course, the objective was also to glorify their government and to advise the nazis to stand in their own land. However, I must say the mov was a bit crude and childish in some parts and characters, it's too crude to be considered a masterpiece, yet the critics always exagerate. To them I'd say `See 49th Parallel, that's an excellent propaganda mov!'.
