Battleship Potemkin
(Sergei M. Eisenstein, 1925)
Starved & abused Russian sailors claw for supremacy against the man.
Lovely little silent film. Well er, rather no talking, but heck of music. Amazing stunts, d00ds i'm pretty sure actually getting their asses kicked. Babies getting shot. Cossacks all jackin' fools. Tight little piece illustrating the struggles of the decaying Romanov society. Additional reading : The Fleet That Had to Die.
