So it is getting really late and I have to get up at six tomorrow. I am yawning and pretty much unhinging my jaw like a snake trying to stay up to write this. This might not be thorough or well thought out but deal with it!
How many Soviet Union propaganda movies have we watched? I feel like I have seen too many. I watched half of this movie before watching Live Free or Die Hard and then I watched the second half. I have to say, this one wasn't as exciting. It felt like we went back a few years. It was silent and two hours long. It pretty much just recorded some shit happening to proletariats in Ukraine. Thrilling...
Maybe I shouldn't have watched this when I was so tired and my constant yawns were obscuring my vision. I definitely thought this was a major snore. I probably got spoiled from our brief talkie phase.
RATING: **---
