Communist Propaganda
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
Voted by some experts as one of the top ten silent movies but I wasn't in on the voting. The movie is pure communist propaganda. It does however give one a good idea of how communisn in Russia was carried out. It is a good picture of life among the farmers in Russia at that time(1930). Scenes of fallen fruit lasting 30-40 seconds may be art but it is not my idea of a good movie. The acting is similar to that found in United States movies made 10 to 20 years earlier.
