battle Ship Potemkin
The silent film Battleship Potemkin started off on a high, the sailors refusing to eat the meat and soup they were served because it was covered with maggots, for some reasoned really captured my attention. The setting was on a large ship that showed us many areas, so it was not focused on one area, they showed the galley
The casting was well done as said in the notes, some of the actors were picked to look the part but a lot were just regular sailors and that added a special touch to it, you saw strong body instead of little scrawny bodies. The also went off land which added a special touch to the film for there was actual footage of a country. It was interesting to see the towns people walk by the coffin of the dead sailor and pay their respects to a person they do not know. I enjoyed seeing the sailors jump off the ship to go rescue the other sailor it added a special touch. where the sailors eat, and they showed the sleeping quarters and the main deck. When the oppression began it was strange, for it went from the sailors who didn't eat, getting there soup stolen to having towns people getting killed babies falling down stairs and solders shooting everything in there paths. I must say that he movie was a little strange but in general I would recommend it for it technique, different settings and actors. It was nice to see tricks being done, meaning stunts.
