Movie 190/1001 ~ Earth

Earth is a russian silent film made in 1930. Its (rather slight) plot is of Basil, a farmer who is tired of the rich farmers always getting their own way, and decides to settle things by getting a tractor somehow. I think. The movie wasn't very clear, and I think it would have mad emore sense if I had understood the ins and outs of Russian politics amongst the farmers of the time. But I didn't and I don't and the movie seemed as boring as all hell to me. For some reason, critics love it. I'm not sure why. It has an ambiguous political message, but it is lauded as one of the greatest films of all time. Maybe I'm just missing the point. I found it boring. Sorry.
