Movie Info
The October Revolution of 1917 is presented in this documentary-like Soviet silent film. Beginning with the crumbling of the Russian monarchy, the production depicts the growing conflicts at Petrograd, with Soviet hero V.I. Lenin (Vasili Nikandrov) leading the rebellion that results in the overthrow of the tsar's Winter Palace. In addition to its historically rooted narrative, the film is renowned for its inventive use of striking montage imagery.

May 12, 2010[font=Century Gothic][color=red]October(or Ten Days that Shook the World) is a powerful, passionate, exciting reenactment of the 1917 Revolution from the fall of the Tsar to the storming of the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg. This was directed by Sergei Eisenstein on the tenth anniversary of the Soviet Revolution. I'm not an expert on Russian history, so I cannot really comment on its accuracy but I can say that it does favor Stalin's worldview - it does slight Trotsky at one point and I think it's unfair to think of Kerensky wanting to be a new Tsar, when his worst sin was not pulling Russia out of World War I, which would have given the country a chance to recover.[/color][/font]Walter M Super Reviewer

Apr 01, 2010Powerful. Even though it's a reenactment of the October Revolution, it has the sense of a documentary, and it fully captures the spirit and the most important events during this important period in Russian History.Liolia K Super Reviewer

Apr 23, 2008I imagine I would of enjoyed this more if I had better knowledge of the Russian Revolution. Still, this is very nicely edited and very much feels like a documentary. Anyone seriously interested in film and the birth of modern cinema should see this. I just wish that I didn't have to miss out on some of the dialogue (white subtitles on white background does not work!)Emily B Super Reviewer

Dec 21, 2007The struggle of socialism over capitalism, the fall of the burgueois power and ten days that shook the world, especially in the Soviet Union.Editing and directing at their maximum capacities, ranking among the top of any list of silent celluloid collaborations. Another propagandistic masterpiece by extremely patriotic and genious Eisenstein. 99/100Edgar C Super Reviewer
