Description:

 

The best way to describe this film is the 300 of the Soviet Union…and one of the most influential films of all time.   Although the film was made in 1938, the USSR knocked a thin coat of dust off of it and rereleased it in 1941 immediately following the Nazi invasion – it was the perfect historical anecdote to inspire resistance during some dark days for the Soviet Union.

In this podcast I make a few observations about the political messages in the film, the propaganda value as well as pointing out some insights into the Soviet mentality of the time.

This is a really cool film and worth watching.  Youtube link below.  Enjoy!
