Eisenstein, Battleship Potemkin, and Editing and Meaning

[@AyushPramanik]

Thank you for making & uploading this! This was illuminating, and it broadened my horizons of understanding Eisenstein.

You have really inspired me to look at films and life in a new way. Thank you!

[@scottchambers926]

Fascinating stuff. Made me think of the animal slaughter scene in Apocalypse Now.

[@filmandmediastudieschannel]

right! many consider that sequence to be an homage to the slaughter sequence in Eisenstein's Strike.

[@the_black_douglas9041]

I suspect Coppola borrows the “Strike” abbatoir scene in “Apocalypse Now” scene where Kurtz is murdered.

[@filmandmediastudieschannel]

Yup, exactly - that bull sacrifice crosscutting sequence is generally considered a nod to Strike. The baptism/assassination crosscutting sequence at the end of The Godfather is also usually read as Eisensteinian.

In the film, the soldiers are not killed, but the workers, right?

[@filmandmediastudieschannel]

Yup, exactly.

[@sebastiangorka200]

its striking workers being killed by soldiers, not soldiers being killed
