 The Guild\n2828 35th St, Sacramento, CA (corner of 35th &

 one of the landmarks of cinema since its release. Commissioned by the 
 government to commemorate the failed uprising of 1905, it's without stars 
 or even actors in the usual sense, exemplifying the collectivism it 
 celebrates. The Battleship Potemkin has just returned from the war with 
 Japan, its crew near mutiny because of brutal treatment and bad rations. 
 When they're served maggot-infested meat one morning, the sailors finally 
 rebel. One of the sailors, Vakulinchuk (Aleksandr Antonov), dissuades the 
 officers from firing upon the mutineers, and they join the rest of the crew 
 in revolt. Hearing of the mutiny, the people of Odessa send supplies to 
 express their solidarity with the crew and gather en masse to mourn a slain 
 sailor. The czar's troops arrive to dispel the crowd. In perhaps the most 
 famous sequence in film history, the director rhythmically intercuts shots 
 of the troops marching machinelike down the Odessa steps with shots of 
 innocent citizens being killed and wounded, in a brilliant embodiment of 
 the director's theories of montage. Aside from "Citizen Kane," perhaps the 
 most perfectly constructed film ever made, the film's vision of tyranny and 
 rebellion remain as powerful today as it was in 1925.\n\n
