Red Army
An epic of the Russian revolution, Battleship Potemkin, perhaps not so correctly historically, addresses the Russian revolution of 1905. With memorable scenes, especially the flag and the staircase scenes, Russian cinema is perhaps not so shy about showing violence. Which ends up enhancing and giving a more shocking experience when watching the film. A great movie considering the time it was released.
Flawed But Compelling
BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN begins with a compliment of sailors asleep in their hammocks where one of them is woken by a blow from a petty officer . The reason ? No reason except for the petty officer to vent his rage upon someone lower down the military hierarchy . A few minutes later we see what the ordinary sailors have to eat – rotten , maggot infested meat . When the sailors protest about this inedible diet their complaints are quickly dismissed by the ship’s doctor Smirnov who tells them to wash the meat with brine . Very quickly Eisenstien has let the audience know whose side they should take . These men in the service of their country are treated worse than the Russians in Japanese POW camps . When the crew complain the ship’s captain Golikov threatens to have the entire crew hanged . This leads to a mutiny . When the Potemkin sails to the port of Odessa we see the brutality of the Tsarist regime . Men , woman and children are massacred on the Odessa stairwayI’ve got to be honest here . This is a very overstated film . In fact it comes close to shooting itself in the foot with its revolutionary tributes . Watch the early scene where Smirnov inspects the meat . Was anyone else reminded of a Monty Python sketch ” This meat is rotten ” – ” No it’s not it’s just pining for the fjords ” But when all is said and done it does contain the Odessa sequence which remains the most analysed and referenced scene in the history of cinema . Also take note of how well and how fast everything is edited and compare this with the way Spielberg and Van Sant keep a ridiculously long average shot duration . You might not agree with Eisenstein’s politics but we can all agree that this director’s reputation is very hard earned and well deserved
