Battleship

I liked this film very much. This movie makes sense to me. In the first couple of parts it's about the food they are eating. Seriously you cant eat meat that is rotten and has worms on it. One thing that i notice was that the doctor was looking at the meat. When he did do that he took his glasses off and kepted saying there is no worms and the meat is perfectly fine. He kind of said that with a smirk on his face. Later in the film when they take the ship over, they just put the dead body on the side of the street. People are just walking by an looking at the body. I would have thought you would want to give your fallin comrades a proper grave. Also they still go around in their ship. I would have thought that they would have been happy to have no officer and they would try to go home instead of still fighting. This good tho because they really do love their contry. At the end proves it when it is just their ship aganist like 10 and they dont care they just fight and never give up. I think this film is like american films. There have been films with people taking over the ship and fighting in wars. Along with bad officers and bad food and living conditions. One film that comes to mind is the Sand Pebble. Tho it was made way later then this film. It was alot of simarities like the officers be bad and mean.

  1. I think the reason why they set the fallen sailor Vakulinchuk's body out like that is so that he can become a martyr for the cause of future Revolution. If they were to give him a proper burial--it would almost be as if they were sanctioning his death as something acceptable, don't you think?

    As a result of this public display, masses of people from the city of Odessa are drawn to his body and become one with the cause (at least from the director Eisenstein's perspective).
