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

事实上，当时刻到来，

权力与其说是被夺取，倒不如说是被随手捡起。

有人说，在爱森斯坦拍摄那部伟大的

电影《十月》时受伤的人，

比一九一七年十一月七日那场真正的

攻打冬宫现场伤亡的人还要多。
