Strike (film)

Encyclopedia : S : ST : STR : Strike (film)

Strike is a 1925 silent film. It was the first full-length feature film of Sergei Eisenstein, who would make The Battleship Potemkin later that year. As its name implies, the film is about a strike by the workers of a factory and its suppression. The film is most famous for a sequence near the end in which the violent putting down of the strike is cross-cut with footage of cattle being slaughtered, although there are several other points in the movie where animals are used as metaphors for the conditions of various individuals.
