 Eisenstein's film of the famed Odessa revolt has been 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
