Battleship Potemkin (Sergei Eisenstein, 1925)

Cast: Aleksandr Antonov, Vladimir Barskiy, Grigoriy Aleksandrov, Ivan Bobrov, Mikhail Gomorov, Aleksandr Levshin, Nina Poltavtseva, Konstantin Feldman, Prokhorenko, A. Glauberman. Beatrice Vitoldi. Screenplay: Nina Agadzhanova. Cinematography: Eduard Tisse, Vladimir Popov. Art direction: Vasiliy Rakhals. Film editing: Sergei Eisenstein. Music: Edmund Meisel.

A perennial on "best films in history" lists, Battleship Potemkin is certainly one of the best-crafted movies ever. No matter how hokey and manipulative it seemed, I sat enthralled through my most recent viewing as the pounding, throbbing endless crescendo of music and editing surged toward the political victory of the Potemkin over the Czar's fleet. (The music on this version was Edmund Meisel's, which was performed at the Berlin premiere in 1926.) Because of the celebrated "Odessa Steps" sequence, which is cited in every textbook on editing and montage and in every tribute to Sergei Eisenstein or documentary about propaganda, I had forgotten that the real climax of the film is its final sequence. I had also forgotten how truly epic the film feels, with the great massing of crowds before the massacre on the steps. But is it a great film? Not if you're judging a film by any standard other than the way it gets blood pumping. It lacks insight into any human emotion other than resentment and the herd instinct. It's a masterpiece of propaganda. As with other such masterpieces, such as Leni Riefensthal's Triumph of the Will (1935), it lies to us. Which is all right, as long as we know it's lying and can keep our eye on the truth.

best to watch battleship potemkin before you die

Commissioned by the Soviet authorities to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the 1905 Revolution, Sergei Eisenstein directs Nina Agadzhanova’s Battleship Potemkin in 1925. 

The movie opens with cooks finding maggots on their meat and them being told that it was fit for consumption. The crew’s spokesman, Quartermaster Grigory Vakulinchuk (played by Aleksandr Antonov), calls for a boycott and gets shot by the commander. His death is not forgotten by his fellowmen, as they seek for justice for his death. Celebrating, the sailors and the crowds reach the famous Odessa Steps, and suddenly… the stuff of nightmares happen: rifles go off, shooting the people on the stairs to their deaths. 

In Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin, the audience is made to feel many emotions, which is the director’s sole intention. As a proponent to the Soviet Montage Theory (wherein the meaning lay not in individual shots, but in the way that the human mind contextualizes them), the director evokes different feelings using his collision of images. An iconic piece of film history is never forgotten by anyone. Not one film student (or cinephile) could live his life without watching this film, as this is what made so many movies what they are today.
