Pudovkin’s film serves as a visual exploration of class awareness. It effectively challenges traditional social hierarchies by presenting the dismantling of the Tsarist state as a necessary evolution of society. The movie stands out in its critique of established power structures, particularly targeting the State, Church, and Capital. By highlighting the proletariat as the primary force of history, it defies conventional expectations of social stability. However, the film lacks contemporary markers of diversity. While it offers a strong critique of systemic oppression, it does not represent LGBTQ+ identities or disabilities.
