Only posts about Ukraine are not based on my actual travel.
"The Untouchables" is directed by Brian De Palma, who likes to quote past movies. He quoted "Battleship Potemkin" directed by Eisenstein.
It was a scene where a baby carriage with a baby rolls down the stairs when citizens are slaughtered by the Russian Empire. The scene affected the world as the practice of a montage theory that alternately connects different images. The filming location is Ukraine's third-largest city, Odesa (Odessa). The scene made the name known to the world, and Odessa has become one of the most vivid places among the world's movies.
The staircase scene is not historical, and Eisenstein got inspiration for the image of the movie by the place. Meanwhile, the place that had been called "Odessa's Stairs" is now called as "Potemkin's Stairs". The image reminds of the place. A strong interrelationship between place and image is created.
This work is a propaganda film commissioned by the Revolutionary Government to commemorate the Russian Revolution. Citizens' uprising that a movie expressed was replaced by videos and interviews posted by citizens in Ukraine in the 21st century. An interview with Mayor Odesa (Odessa) talking about his determination to protect the city resonates in the heart.
