    A tribute film celebrating the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution of 1917. When the workers and the government began to conflict, there was a montage of super-short shots, such as the multiple alternate appearances of faces and gun barrels, etc., paired with fast-paced music, creating a strong visual impact and Visual wonder. This dazzling clip is really dazzling. The shot is shorter than the Odessa staircase sequence in Battleship Potemkin. The whole film shows the magnificent October...

    Sergey Eisenstein led a group of Soviet filmmakers in 1927 to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution. The film truly reflects the October Revolution of 1917, interviewing many participants of the October Revolution, allowing people to witness the real situation in the early years of the Russian Revolution. Like "Battleship Potemkin" and "Strike", this film is also the representative work of Eisenstein's exploration of montage editing in the...

    It is a political propaganda film with huge influence during the Soviet Russia period, and it is also Eisenstein's most daring montage experiment. The characters and narratives disappear in the lightning-like editing, and they are expressed in complete collectivism to achieve a strong incitement. , the audio version produced by Eisenstein's assistant added real background sound, which made the whole film full of shouts and footsteps, and achieved a more provocative effect. The applause montage...
