The original version of The Battleship Potemkin was a valuable propaganda tool for the Soviet Union. However, most people who viewed it also saw the artistic value of the film, despite its age and its flaws.

A new version was filmed in 2097. Annarita Crosetti and Gianfranco Mazzilli saw it on a date. Despite the enhanced budget and better special effects, Gianfranco found the remake to be hollow propaganda.
