What About The Baby Carriage!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2008)

Sergei Eisenstein directs this Russian masterpiece; Eisenstein is known for so many great films, however, "Battleship Potemkin", is his stellar accomplishment as a director!! To date, "Battleship Potemkin" has persistently emerged as one of the greatest movies ever made with regards to the entire history of movie making for the overall gambit of film productions worldwide!! The esoteric expression of vitriolic mutiny in this film, was articulated with a vivid clarity!! The film "Battleship Potemkin" depicted a grass roots recognition for the overt social and political oppression that the Soviet Union's government was subjugating the Russian people to!! The auspices for revolutionary revolt was provoked by an almost non-human approach of imperviousness when dealing with living conditions that the unfortunate Russian masses had to live under!! They (The Russian people) were the ones who ultimately endured totalitarian torture, thus, the citizens of the USSR became the aggrieved party!! Russia has always had a penchant for evoking pathos concerning the poverty laden circumstances which wind up being the end result of an edict by an utterly unmitigated and abhorrent dictatorship!! The movie audience almost felt compelled to embrace an eleemosynary sentimentality for the vast majority of the Soviet Union's proletariat's struggle for survival!! This indigent plight of the Russian people became a widespread scenario which was a demoralizing element of the Soviet Union's dictatorial status quo!! This film broke ground on the illustrative syllogism which depicted the deplorable living conditions in Russia!! The classic staircase scene marked an unprecedented précis of bedlam emanating from relentless squalor, as well as doom and despair!! Brian DiPalma (Fanous director who directed "The Untouchables") attempted a duplication scene of the baby carriage going down the staircase. It would stand to reason that such classic cinematic genius that "Battleship Potemkin" illustrated with this scene would be subject to imitations by subsequent movies; that is almost something that is inevitable!! What is so remarkable about this movie is that just because it was made when only silent pictures were around, did not mean that this film conveyed any less of a socially poignant message!! The fact that this film was silent became an aspect to "Battleship Potemkin" that actually enhanced this picture a great deal!! This film has always been rated as one of the best pictures ever made, and, "Battleship Potemkin" is a movie classic that brings on an intellectual enlightenment to the forefront of the wonderful world of cinema!! YOU MUST SEE "BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN" IT IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!! HERE IS A BIT OF VERY INTERESTING TRIVIA FOR YOU: "BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN" WAS CHARLIE CHAPLIN'S FAVORITE MOVIE!!
