The Battleship Potemkin

I just watched Sergei Eisenstein's cinematic masterpiece The Battleship Potemkin or "Bronenosets Potyomkin" (1925). This is one of the most influential films of all time and an iconic work.

Its dramatisation is outstanding and viewers still get shocked (I did at least)with the scenes of the masacre of civilians on the Potemkin Stairs and that baby in the carrycot down the steps.

Though the film is obvious political propaganda, as J.Goebbels said in Triumph of the Will (1934):

Potemkin is a marvellous film without equal in the cinema ... anyone who had no firm political conviction could become a Bolshevik after seeing the film.

Love and freedom.
