Have you ever wondered why Bananas, Brazil, and The Untouchables all end with similar scenes? This is where it comes from. The finale of Battleship Potemkin is called the Odessa Steps and you will see the original. This is not one of the greatest movies ever made, but the Odessa Steps is the most influential and most copied scene in movie history.
