		Battleship Potemkin was conceived as part of a cycle of myth-making films intended to tell the story of the Revolution.
		Battleship Potemkin commemorates the failed 1905 uprising, though technical constraints meant that only one aspect of the revolt - the Potemkin mutiny - was finally dealt with.

	BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN:
		Battleship Potemkin, the landmark film by Sergei Eisenstein, describes the mutiny of the crew of the battlecruiser Potemkin during the 1905 Revolution.
		Only a year in commission, the Potemkin was the most powerful ship in the entire Black Sea Fleet: 12,500 tons water displacement and 350 feet long, with guns of every caliber bristling from her armored turrets and casemates.
		The Potemkin reversed course and headed back through the squadron in order not to be cut off from Odessa, which she still perceived as the source of her strength.

	Sergei Mikhailovich Eisenstein
		He answers with the powerful story of the 1905 mutiny of the sailors of the Potemkin in their struggle against the repressive officers of the Russian Imperial Navy.
		The Potemkin had many troubles, and after many tribulations, eventually turned herself in to the Romanian government, and the sailors were given asylum in Romania.
		Many modern day film critics assume that historians have deduced the actual concrete events of the Potemkin mutiny down to small details and thus assume that Eisenstein's creation "owes more to mythmaking than to historical fidelity,"(4) but their attitudes refuse to acknowledge their distance from the subject and the confused nature of the event.

	Battleship Potemkin -- Review by Roger Ebert
		The movie was ordered up by the Russian revolutionary leadership for the 20th anniversary of the Potemkin uprising, which Lenin had hailed as the first proof that troops could be counted on to join the proletariat in overthrowing the old order.
		As sketched by Eisenstein's film, the crew members of the battleship, cruising the Black Sea after returning from the war with Japan, are mutinous because of poor rations.
		At the last moment, the men of the Potemkin signal their comrades in the fleet to join them--and the Potemkin steams among the oncoming ships without a shot being fired at it.

		A 20th-anniversary tribute to the 1905 revolution, Eisenstein portrays the revolt in microcosm with a dramatization of the real-life mutiny aboard the battleship Potemkin.
		POTEMKIN is a film in which individual characters are much less important than the groups and crowds of which they are members, and it achieves its incredible power by showing the clash of the groups and crowds in a series of extraordinarily visualized and edited sequences.
		Amazingly, each of these sequences manage to top the previous one, and the film actually builds in power as it moves from the mutiny to the citizen's rally to the massacre on the Odessa steps--the latter of which is among the most famous sequences in all of film history.

	EUFS: Battleship Potemkin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In the absence of dialogue Eisenstein was freed from the difficulties of endowing characters with psychological depth instead turning to the use of rigid types whose class and political affiliations could be made clear by what they looked like and whose emotions were expressed in bold physical gestures and exaggerated facial contortions.
		Hence in the famous Odessa Steps sequence the shawl-clad mother clasping her son, murdered by the soldiers, articulates her rage with a wide-eyed expressionist howl towards the camera.
		Battleship Potemkin is possibly as fast moving, exciting, and utterly committed a piece of film-making as you will ever see.

	Board's - Battleship Potemkin -
		Eisenstein's scenario, boiled down from what was to have been a multipart epic of the occasion, focussed on the crew of the Battleship Potemkin.
		All the actors in the film were amateurs, selected by Eisenstein because of their "rightness" as types for their roles.
		Pictorial quality varies from print to print, but even in a duped-down version, Battleship Potemkin is must-see cinema.

		His film "Battleship Potempkin," released in 1925, is a classic and was long considered by many to be the finest film ever made.
		Few people who have seen Battleship Potemkin remember that it is in fl and white ("But I could see the blood on the steps") or silent ("The shouting crowd, the gunshots").
		Made in 1925 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1905 revolution, this film is, on the face of it, a standard propaganda film.

	Battleship Potemkin
		The film was rejected when submitted to the BBFC in September 1926 on the grounds that films should not address issues of 'political controversy' and that Potemkin's pro-Revolutionary message was therefore unacceptable for classification.
		Following the BBFC's rejection of the film, Potemkin was submitted to the London County Council and Middlesex County Council for certificates for local screenings.
		Political censorship of the cinema was most active during and between the world wars and declined rapidly after 1945.

	Pet Shop Boys- Battleship Potemkin
		Certainly his Battleship Potemkin, like Fritz Lang's Metropolis, has the purposeful narrative and epic visuals that providing both the dynamics and atmosphere that any musician should be able to feed off.
		Although the ICA introduction concentrated on the parallels between the political relevance of Battleship Potemkin and the setting, the site of anti-war protests just a few months ago, the real synergy here was in abstract, futuristic ethos of both the film and the Pet Shop Boys' tough, balletic techno score.
		Eisenstein was the master of montage, editing sequences for maximum dramatic effect, and the soundtrack similarly balances bruising beats for the action sequences with soulful ballads for the elegiac socialist polemics.

		Potemkin not only contains the most famous scene in silent film, the Odessa steps sequence, in which Tsarist troops relentlessly advance downwards firing upon the townspeople; the whole film employs the revolutionary cinematic technique of colliding successive images, in order to whip up the audience's emotional response.
		Eisenstein's use of `montage' continues to exhilarate cineastes everywhere and the film is still a regular fixture on critics' `Top Ten' lists, but at the time it was Potemkin's depiction of a successful rebellion against political authority that over-excited the world's censors.

		In his famous silent film, Eisenstein celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the mutiny on the czarist battleship Potemkin before the port of Odessa in 1905.
		His classical dividing of the film into five acts, and the bravado involved in his presenting a sense of rhythm and editing unheard of until then, transforms the work to a penetrating vehicle of political agitation.
		While, on the one side, many prominent intellectuals voiced boisterous protests against the film’s banning; on the other side, various local officials were opposed to granting the film a screening license.

	Film101CyberCinema - BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN
		Incredibly, the sequence is actually topped by Eisenstein's jubilant finale, wherein the sailors of Imperial Navy, in solidarity with their comrades, disregard orders to fire upon the Potemkin.
		Their pivotal decision is symbolized by the legendary "waking lions" montage (Eisenstein isn't too subtle, but boy was he effective!) The two major sequences in Battleship Potemkin can still bring an audience to its feet even when taken out of context.
		Considering the intensity of their performances, it is astonishing to learn that all the actors in the film were amateurs, selected by Eisenstein because of "rightness" for roles.

		A newly reconstructed version of the 1925 Soviet film Battleship Potemkin will premiere at Berlin Film Festival.
		One of its best-known scenes is the Odessa steps sequence, in which a child in a pram rolls down a staircase as fighting rages around it.
		But the film, which was shot for the 20th anniversary of the failed uprising, was victim of "one of the most spectacular cases of censorship in the 1920s" after being cut by the Soviets, a festival statement said.

		Considered one of the most important films in the history of silent pictures, as well as possibly Eisenstein's greatest work, Battleship Potemkin brought Eisenstein's theories of cinema art to the world in a powerful showcase;
		While I am sure we are all indebted to Battleship Potemkin for its illustration of heretofore unseen film techniques, the film itself is actually rather dull.
		A bit dry to my tastes, as most silent films tend to be, this is nonetheless an engaging use of montage, and contains the famous "baby carriage falling down stairs" sequence that's been cribbed in several other movies.

		Winona Ryder’s first ever appearance on a talk show was December 22, 1999 on the "Tonight Show".
		Review: Eisenstein's best work documents mutiny aboard the Russian battleship Potemkin in 1905 which led to a civilian uprising against the Czar in Odessa, and the resulting crackdown by troops loyal to the Czar.
		In particular, a horrifying sequence depicting the slaughter of civilians on an Odessa beach by soldiers coming down the stairs leading to it is exceptional; many movies pay homage to this scene including "The Untouchables" and "Love and Death." Viewers should overlook obvious Marxist overtones and see this film for what it is: a masterpiece.
