yes, i indeed watched this soviet silent film from the 1920s on my phone during a bus ride at 7:30am this morning, exactly the way that director and Father of Montage sergei eisenstein intended
You can't keep writing this off as propaganda, and if you cannot recognize these situations, then I don't know what you're doing. The tendency in American academia to limit this to merely formal study only confirms that communism was always an inevitable vision of the future.
beginning to think there's a slight chance that this may not be the one with Rihanna in it after all

”Killed for a plate of soup.”
Masterpiece or not, Sergei Eisenstein’s world-shattering Battleship Potemkin is a propaganda movie and it’s in the nature of those kind of works to scream their messages, but what separates this 1925 groundbreaking piece of cinema from so many other offensive and juvenile extremist and manipulative “artistic” creations is that Sergei Eisenstein doesn't sacrifice the quality of the film, it may be full of obvious left-wing points but it is also filled with striking formal innovations and features some incredibly intense scenes of revolution, fight and social uprising. The story is packed with anger, fury, passion and social idealism and what makes Battleship Potemkin such a wonderful and surrealistically powerful…
Within the first ten minutes a worker is assaulted for no reason by a higher ranking officer, and not longer after that same man begins to weep, because he cannot do anything back. Propaganda?
Well yeah, it's propaganda too - fine by me, considering movies aren't actually real. Has anyone ever written on Spielberg in tandem with this film? The almost absurd calculation, the pushing to primal response...
I can see why this still pisses off New York guys like Pinkerton, etc...it's so ideologically charged, but plays completely natural and is actually rather subtle - almost really devious in how it basically pisses you off enough to side with the sailors. But there's something really fascinating there - as natural…
Never underestimate the power of beets. I too would have died for a spoonful of sweet, slightly vinegary borscht.
Extremely well edited and full of celebrated shots, Sergei Eisenstein combines art with politics while stunningly accomplishing both criteria exceptionally. This Soviet uprising holds a biased and personal narrative, but it is ultimately sensational in grasping your heed to experience the revolution.
Battleship Potemkin was filmed as a part of something greater than itself, and from a cinematic perspective, it truly succeeds. It’s fierce, it’s heightened; it’s undeniably inspirational.
every time it cut to those people waving their hats very over-enthusiastically at the ship leaving all i could think of was john mulaney i was losing my mind
Almost a century on, Eisenstein’s techniques and montage theory are still in effect. Whilst I obviously don’t see myself returning to this often, Battleship Potemkin is no doubt as spectacular and influential as everyone says it is.
A revolutionary film about revolution.
