BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN

Music fit movie really well.. Officers of ship treating the crew badly not feeding well (rotten meat).. Crew revolts and takes over the battleship..Leader of revolt is killed taken ashore and placed in a tent on the dock of a town called Odessa...The people of Odessa behind the ship till the Cossocks come and fire on town killing almost everyone.. The Battleship is going to try to face the Russian Squardon. they first send a message to join them and the Squardon lets them through...Seems based on true story. Says the Potemkin is restored to Russia.. The Camera work was very still no movement of the camera alot of Face expression shots and subtitled in Russian and English.
