Battleship

Soviet Montage was a bold new theory of editing invented by Sergei Eisenstein. This new theory of montage allowed Eisenstein to make the audience think whatever he wanted them to think by arranging striking juxtapositions of individuals shots to suggest an idea that goes further than using a single shot to portray a message. It is an idea that ‘derives from the collision between two [or more] shots that are independent of one another’. (Taylor, Powell, pg 163) These montage sequences create…

at this point the peasants were becoming urbanized and now gaining a new worldview. This is when class deviation become prominent and it is shown in the film Battleship Potemkin, when the soldiers were treated unfairly and given poor living conditions. Poverty was not only an issue in Russia, this is still very present and alive around the world. In American the poverty rate is as high as 14.3 percent and in California…

REFLECTION ON REQUIEM OF THE BATTLESHIP YAMATO. Before I knew the details of World War 2, I knew about the Kamikazes. I was about 7 years old when I connected what Kamikazes were and who used them, but I still did not know what war it was used in. At such a tender age, I was familiar with the stereotype that the Japanese were ruthless killing machines with no regard for life. It was not until I came to the United States that I learned the kamikazes were used in World War 2 and that the Japanese…

``The Battleship Potemkin'' has been so famous for so long that it is almost impossible to come to it with a fresh eye. It is one of the fundamental landmarks of cinema. Its famous massacre on the Odessa Steps has been quoted so many times in other films (notably in ``The Untouchables'') that it's likely many viewers will have seen the parody before they see the original. The film once had such power that it was banned in many nations, including its native Soviet Union. Governments actually…

realized we’d have to find a house with bedrooms downstairs--or at least enough space downstairs for the family to sleep. By the grace of God, we sold our house quickly and bought another a few miles away. We originally called the “new” house the “Battleship Sikorra” as it was somewhat dilapidated and painted an inglorious grey. The carpets crumbled when we walked on them. But it had “a lot of potential.” (That’s real estate talk for a fixer-upper.) After the move, John began second grade at…

In Part Four: The Odessa Staircase of Battleship Potemkin, Sergei Eisenstein uses the various techniques stated in his “Methods of Montage.” Specifically, we look at the scene in which the mother begins to run down the steps with her son by the hand. The establishing shot is in the Odessa steps (i.e. the staircase) since it tells us where the scene will take place. It starts with a rhythmic montage because the music playing in the background is determined by the content of the scene. The visual…

Dialectical Montage as a Vehicle for Political Messaging Sergei Eisenstein expertly uses dialectical montage to demonstrate the plight of Russians in the midst of the revolution in his silent film The Battleship Potemkin (1925). Specifically in the massacre on the Odessa Steps scene, montage editing helps convey exaggerated feelings of fear and helplessness in the context of the political state in Russia; the famous and fictitious scene posits political unrest and terror associated with the…

USS Texas (BB-35), the second ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the U.S. state of Texas, is a New York-class battleship. The ship was launched on 18 May 1912 and commissioned on 12 March 1914. Soon after her commissioning, Texas saw action in Mexican waters following the "Tampico Incident" and made numerous sorties into the North Sea during World War I. When the United States formally entered World War II in 1941, Texas escorted war convoys across the Atlantic, and later shelled…

movement in the fleet, military personnel failed to conclude that a surprise attack might occur. By 8:00 am, Battleships were destroyed and heavy smoke filled the air. The Japanese attacked twice, the first was for aircraft and the second wave attack was for battleships and ship facilities. At 8:10 am, 1,800-pound bomb smashed through the deck of the battleship USS Arizona, causing the battleship USS Arizona to explode. The Japanese planes were approaching from a direction very close to the…
