chronicles and the present day newspapers one
starts losing the sense of time difference because
the bloody horror spread by the knight order of
conquerors in XIII century does not differ much
from the events taking place now in some countries
of the world. That is why the film describing
quite a definite epoch and definitely concrete
historical events is perceived

absolutely contemporary one…” S. Eisenstein.
