Battleship Potemkin

To many, battleship Potemkin remains as powerful today as it was when it saw its sign release in 1915. A great deal of the power the word-painting projects derives from its ability to draw on the emotional content of viewers who fit a dissatisfied feeling towards the government, a perennial feeling that neer goes out of style. But does the films political averment spelunk the credibility of the film as a work and sway it into the acres of propaganda?In a word, no as this is a spiritedly practiced cinematic investation that does not fall into the common trapping of propaganda cinema. To judge the Battleship Potemkin contains a political commove of view is an accurate statement but, to say that the film is a work of propaganda may not solely be correct. The reason for this is that propaganda generally involves a dishonest attempt to expose a direct of view that plays to the viewers emotions.Yes, Battleship Potemkin does present its anti-tsarist point of view so as to s timulate the viewers emotions to align with anti-tsarist sentiment however life under the tsar was merely one that was popular with the common person. In fact, the entire Russian revolution would have been impossible if the population held the ruling class in high esteem. So, the film does not so much change a point of view as much as it reflects what had been a common point of view.
