- Interpretation
- Model opinion, not evidence: mood: solemn and accusatory; themes: revolution, injustice, collective vengeance; style notes: static title card with high-contrast white text on black background, typical of silent film intertitles
A title card announces the murder of sailor Vakulenchuk by an officer of the battleship Potemkin and declares revenge. The text is attributed to the ship's crew.
The record
A Soviet work restored in the US in 1996 under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act for a term that ran to 1 January 2021. Public domain now; it was not between 1996 and 2020. The registry does not yet model restoration. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
