October: Ten Days That Shook the World (Oktyabr': Desyat' dney kotorye potryasli mir) is a Soviet silent film made in 1927 by Sergei Eisenstein. It is a dramatization praising the 1917 October Revolution.October was one of two films commissioned by the Soviet government to honour the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution. Eisenstein was chosen to head the project due to the international success he had achieved with The Battleship Potemkin in 1925.
The filming of the assault on the Winter Palace required 11,000 extras, and the lighting needs left the rest of the city blacked out.
October was not as successful or influential as Potemkin. Eisenstein's montage experiments met with official disapproval.
The authorities complained that October was unintelligible to the masses, and Eisenstein was attacked for excessive "formalism". He was also required to re-edit the work.
Stalin himself also closely kept an eye on the production of this movie and actually ordered to remove most of the sequences featuring old comrade but later turned enemy Leon Trotsky. It's funny how only the sequences that make Trotsky look bad and weak were kept into the movie.

Coincido 100 por ciento con el texto de la ilustración. Tanto sea de izquierda o derecha, para un gobierno lo mejor es un artista muerto o sea un artista que no se exprese libremente, que no tenga juicio crítico y que diga solo lo que el gobernante quiera que diga. Eisenstein lo vivió en carne propia con esta película que poco le gustó al camarada Stalin que personalmente se ocupó de cortar (censurar) 500 metros de película. Por supuesto 500 metros muy peligrosos para sus intereses totalitarios.
