October (Ten Days that Shook the World) (1928) movie

A film that begins with petty, vengeful violence against a Tsar's statue, and ends with a mad mob smashing up Peter the Great's palace. Very prophetic.

Lenin's merry men sign decrees on land, bread and peace. But the 'Petrograd Proletariat' did not get too much of the first two over the next 20 years, and 'peace'- bought by doing a deal with Hitler- would be canceled by the worst war ever endured by Russia. Those exultant workers and peasants would die like dogs.

At least 'October's three main architects escaped death in combat or by starvation, purging, gulags or a bullet in the skull.

Podvoisky became the USSR's guru of physical fitness, an advocate of nudism. He prudently retired before Stalin's Great Terror got into top gear. Eisenstein spent years in the wilderness, most of his film proposals blocked bc he was suspected of 'formalism' and foreign contacts. Grisha Alexandrov fared best, producing the kind of movie Stalin liked: jolly musicals starring Alexandrov's wife.

OLD WASHED UP JEWS AT IT AGAIN

ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS

a JEW INVOLVED? LIES

Bolshevik revolution

I like the way the clapping and foot stomping sounds come in towards the end. Incredible film.

The revolution of Jewish bankers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Stalin era & Trotsky covieniently sublimized or invisible….🤔, a great film but….nonetheless… Eisenstein…👌🏻

"A little light on dialog." - Roger Ebert 4/10 /s

People who are making connections with this and Trump ... are you nuts? Trump is a capitalist and Revolutionaries of Soviet State would hang him by the balls. American society is not comparable with Russian, you would need 100 years of reprogramming to have this. It's just not the same culture, sadly most of Americans are highly individualistic and don't give 2 shits about socialism.

LONG LIVE TO FASCISTS AND FASCISM!

What a radical leftists NUTS!

Welcome to Public Domain (in the US), October!

"In documentary style" BWAHWHAWHAWHAWHWAHAWHAW!!!!!!!!! Pure propaganda and as fictional in what it portrays as the many myths that perpetrate around the French "Revolution" (coup, same as the Bolshevik coup). Stalin commissioned this film and personally took part in the editing and Eisenstein timidly did what he was told. The "auteur" w/ his Eraserhead Yid fro became a whipping dog for Stalin later on, his dreams of experimental cinema utterly squashed by the censors and forced to make public apologies for trying to sneak through his own vision. "Triumph of the Will" is pure documentary, exactly as the placard says at its opening: Here is the annual 1934 Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg and that's it. Not a recreation of it, or it reimagined, or dramatized, or with allegorical flourishes and actors... just here it is brought to you by 30 cameras and a crew of 150. Hysterical (in both senses of the word, because this film is nothing if not unintentionally hilarious - same as "Birth of a Nation") Bolshevik fever dream... nothing more.

أنا بأعتبر المخرج الروسي << سيرجي ايزنشتاين >> مخرج هذا الفيلم أعظم مخرج في تاريخ السينما << مخرج عبقري >> لن يعوض

Them poor poor Romanov girls. Why no bolshitvik didn't keep them as slaves is beyond me

This is such a masterpiece too bad it's about a sorry ass country with a sorry ass Dictator with an even sorrier ass military that can't beat a college football team muchless take over a country...

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Who's idea was it to add foley sound effects to this originally silent movie?

Slava RSDLP(B), Slava Lenin!

Noice 🔥

All they managed to do was replace one ruler with another who was extremely oppressive and murderous and as the decades went by ten`s of millions of their own people either starved to death or was murdered, the lucky ones were just oppressed without rights.

Finally sat down and watched it last night! The way they built suspense was so incredible. Loved the score because it kept the rhythm going for me. I honestly don't think I would have watched it in one go if it didnt have the score. The added sound FX were pretty amazing and really helped the immersion. The multiple camera angles to fully cover scenes is so close to modern its pretty nuts. I'm no expert so I don't know how common this style of coverage was but I do know Eisenstein is the montage man. Great Quality AV! Thanks for the English!

masterpiece...

I was not prepared for just how hallucinatory this movie is. Cool.
Down with the Bourgeoisie!

Man that intro music hits hard

holy shit, this feels like an actual footage of events

Dank, what a classic movie is

If they only knew the horrors that were to beset the people as a result of this wonderful revolution. Socialism in all its glory.

A movie in the public domain for mankind to see the possibilities of man and what is achievable of us to live in peace and harmony :)

Note that the title cards for the film incorrectly uses "it's" when "its" was correct;, a very common error in English orthography.

The film conformed to Socialist Realism, to Stalinism, and was subject to censure and relentless re-editing. Sergei Eisenstein films were propaganda for the Communist State, made during the heyday of the agit-prop campaigns. Exceptions to this rule are the beautiful, sensuous and poetic, “iQue viva Mexico!”, the surreal, avant-garde junkyard scenes in "Strike", and the like. V. Ulyanov said, “That of all the arts, the most important for us is the cinema”.

👍

Damn what a movie

I don't like Communists or Communism, but I do like great, classic movies -- and this is certainly one. So is "Potemkin," Eisenstein's other most classic work.

RIRSE OF A FAILED IDEOLOGY.
COMMUNIST RULERS CONSIDER PEOPLE AS SUBJECTS NOT AS CITIZENS.
THERE IS A LIGHT YEAR OF DIFFERNCE BETWEEN THESE TWO. COMMUNISM PRACTICED SO FAR IS SIMILAR TO AUTOCRACY. PRIVILAGES FOR PARTY PEOPLE, PARTY SYCOPHANTS,AND THEIR GOONS. THEY DISGRACE HISTORY AND WRITE HIS STORIES.. Freedom and democracy is oxymoron under communism. They only select leaders ( bleeders) not elect us we do. What communists practiced so far is disgrace to humanism.

I look at the film as such, not from the political point of view. Of course it is a movie but the czarina's bedroom looks far too modest. They made fun of the toiled seat because they realized what it was for, the bidet was left alone. The czar picture shows the very beautiful man he was, and the palace invaders were ugly as sin. Why so? Russians of all classes in general are a good looking bunch even when mad. I visited Russia 4 times and can tell. For movie details I need a full page. An interesting film with good music. Good thing Eisenstein invented montage.
