An overview of Sergei Eisenstein's film theory, with particular emphasis on his essay "Cinematographic Principle and the Ideogram" and Battleship Potemkin.
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.
Thank you for making & uploading this!
This was illuminating, and it broadened my horizons of understanding Eisenstein.
This video helped me immensely! My school assignment is to make a poster for Battleship Potemkin, will make sure to include conflict in it!
You have really inspired me to look at films and life in a new way. Thank you!
Fascinating stuff. Made me think of the animal slaughter scene in Apocalypse Now.
right! many consider that sequence to be an homage to the slaughter sequence in Eisenstein's Strike.
I suspect Coppola borrows the “Strike” abbatoir scene in “Apocalypse Now” scene where Kurtz is murdered.

@@filmandmediastudieschannel ahhh nice! Yes! Crafty Coppola, eh? Thanks for this channel, it’s now a belled subscription for me 🤓
@@the_black_douglas9041 awesome - thanks!
Thanks for the video.
Thank you, this is great!

its striking workers being killed by soldiers, not soldiers being killed
In the film, the soldiers are not killed, but the workers, right?
Yup, exactly.
Whats the essay you reference at 2:20 called?
the cinematographic principle and the ideogram
@@filmandmediastudieschannel Thanks a ton!
Too intellectual for me!
