The subject, the subject!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you were force-fed this "subject" day in and day out for decades, you too would probabaly be unable to simply delve in the pure art of that film.
I know, I know - I am usually first to say to separate the two, but in this case I *personally* find it hard to do.
Ditto for the Potemkin... I don't know how many times I have seen the maggots, the baby carriage, the stairs... all masterfully done, to be sure, but just too much for one person's life.
I fully understand my handicap here, and I am envious that you can enjoy it. I am like a rape victim unable to enjoy sex...
Having said that, both are great films.
