@dsaltuari If the music was somewhat special, the viewer would _hear_ it, and Eisenstein didn't want him to hear the music, he wanted him just to feel tension. I don't think he would accept the modern one. For example, I sometimes play this film and don't even watch it, just listening to the music, and I fear it's not what the director desired :)

@dsaltuari In fact (it's my bad habit to answer questions I wasn't asked), the original music is very stock. It's not to humiliate the musician, because it was what Eisenstein needed. His position that "the music should serve the film, not vice versa" led to it, so when the film needed, for example, tense music, there was a set of trite devises of "tense music" there.

@dsaltuari No, i's not original, and I like it WAAAY more than the original one.
Unfortunately I forgot who wrote it, it's some Western band known specifically for writing music to different silent films.

@rjhowie, are you telling me that the crap cranked out by Hollywood is not propaganda of some sort? It upholds or puts down lifestyles, attitudes, etc. Afterall, studios are moneymaking industries. I don't mind that Eisenstein's work is called propaganda, but don't make a mockery of us all by not including all types of art, film, literature out there. Plus, the montage on it's own merit is one of the fundamental techniques developed by Eisenstein.

raccolgo materiale storico.

Particularmente me parece una gran obra, a la altura del Acorazado Potemkin. La fotografía es magnífica, al igual que el montaje. Excelente para ser la opera prima de Eisenstein.

Way ahead of his time... Or just simply different from a cultural standpoint...

Someone knows who writes the music to this video? And is it the original one? It's sounds a little to modern

Great movies !
PS it's also incorrect to compare the Soviets to the Nazis--that kind of simplistic reduction of history is dangerous and foolish. Not to mention the insult you make to the memory of the millions of Russians who died fighting fascism. Again, you don't have to agree with the ideology, just get the facts straight.
