These were the days when film was film...

This movie is so primitive that people in the college theater in which I saw it began laughing at the most "dramatic" scenes.

I now think that there are some interesting shots, but basically the quality of the film is about as good as Birth of a Nation (1915), while just 3 years later, the USA produced a masterpiece like Citizen Kane.

Воот, вот как надо снимать батальные сцены! (смотрю на современного Александра Невского и плююсь)

Great! I want to see this movie.

Looks like freezing to death in Russia is an old German tradition. Don't get offended my German friends, it's just a black joke.

I don't know how they had that ice break on set (excellent special effects for the 1930's), but thats amazing!

vidi questo magnifico film di eisenstein quando avevo venti anni in una mostra retrospettiva organizzata da don gaffuri a milano. non pensavo di poterlo rivedere dopo più di 50 anni e sono molto grato a youtube di avermi dato questa opportunità : veramente grazie youtube!

I heard from a guy that was an extra ... they LOVED the cracking ice ... it was August - hot and humid. They were wearing wool and metal, and it was like going to heaven!
