Well I watched Arsenal finally and what I feared happened. I can't come up with anything to really say about the film. Of the four silent Soviet films I've had a chance to see the past several weeks this is by far the best of them, but well that doesn't always equate with elloquence in analysis. The style is great, and employs nearly every tactic familiar with the montage movement. The story deals more with the Ukranian part of the revolution, of course beginning with that ludicrously unpopular war. I don't know if I'll be able to revisit the film, but I'll say the film was damn good.
