Warning: Spoilers
The first thing that I think when I'm watching the movie is that, being the cinema in diapers and already made these films. It is pure publicity at the service of the regime. I have tried to remove the sound for a while, since in these times the cinema was made without music and then put in every cinema. The film has not lost any rhythm, it was still very fast.

Spoiler: On this date still no plans were made moving the camera and yet there is a traveling and several panoramas. Depth of field was not yet used and there are planes with depth of field. Eisentein must have had all the paraphernalia of the state at his disposal because, at a time when there were no professional actors, no doubles or anything, he makes a film that does not lack anything, it even has special effects. The film, apart from the workers' struggle, is completely up-to-date and many directors would like to make movies like this today. All in the service of history. From the photo, costumes, makeup. And all in his first movie
