In fact, when the moment came,

power had not so much to be seized as to be picked up.

It has been said that more people were injured

in the making of Eisenstein‘s great film October (1927)

than had been hurt during the actual taking

of the Winter Palace on 7th November 1917.

Eric Hobsbawm

The Age of Extremes

事實上，當時刻到來，

權力與其說是被奪取，倒不如說是被隨手撿起。

有人說，在愛森斯坦拍攝那部偉大的

電影《十月》時受傷的人，

比一九一七年十一月七日那場真正的

攻打冬宮現場傷亡的人還要多。
