Battleship Potemkin

The film is supplemented by music throughout, creating a tense to panic rhythm. Its music itself is a wonderful narrative concert, so that it can replace language. Eisenstein's use of scenery and its symbolic effect on things are both meaningful and very useful. There are no extra shots in the movie.
As the former Soviet Union that contributed the most to the European avant-garde film movement, Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin" has an indelible position in film history. Sure enough, the Odessa Staircase is the most exciting scene in the history of film, and the appearance of this scene means that Eisenstein's collision montage editing techniques have emerged and matured. The scene of the meeting is the evolution and development of Griffith’s "Last-Minute Chase", and the consciousness of anger and resistance reaches its climax at that moment.

    Eisenstein puts the audience in feeling rather than distancing, making vision (eyes) communicate directly to nerves rather than brains, all relying on sensual storytelling with strong editing (famous for the Odessa Staircase Stroller and the Sailor Corps Front Group). The tension, horror, excitement, epic (the fifth act) and the tension, fear, excitement, and epic (the fifth act) and the powerful and treacherous soundtrack are an exploration of an alternative 'technocratic'.

    From the point of view of technique, it is really superb, and countless "firsts" in film history were born in this film: suffocating sideshow montage editing, silent film soundtrack performance instead of sound effects, and the dyed red flag... ....but the plot is full of ideology, it is a Soviet theme work, like an impassioned propaganda film. In the end, you will not escape the doom of disintegration if you engage in a planned economy? I can't give this 5 stars
