Oktyabr': Desyat' dney kotorye potryasli mir) is a 1928 Soviet silent historical film by Sergei Eisenstein and Grigori Aleksandrov. It is a celebratory dramatization of the 1917 October Revolution commissioned for the tenth anniversary of the event.

The film opens with the elation after the February Revolution and the establishment of the Provisional Government, depicting the throwing down of the Tsar's monument.

The buildup to the October Revolution is dramatized with intertitles marking the dates of events.

Plot: Ph.D. candidates Brett, Kimberly and Caleb make a major breakthrough in quantum computer architecture. While testing their new computer design in the university lab, they experience ghastly visions and sensations. Brett finds refuge and contemplation outside the laboratory in the campus conservatory, playing the piano. Here he also meets up with girlfriend Isabelle, a haunted, brooding music prodigy. The piano is the film's central metaphor; an instrument of empathy, which - the young researchers quickly realize - is also true of their new computing device. Its lurid effects place Brett and Caleb under an intoxicating spell. Meanwhile, other students connected to the research have gone missing. Brett turns to the mysterious, stoic Nikolas for some insight into unfolding events. Yet Nikolas' cryptic clues seem only to push Brett and team into even darker corridors of the soul. Kimberly tries to reign her fellow students back to sanity, but it may be too late for all.

Genres: Short,It's cold outside because it's October. The rain keeps
pouring over and over, and it's true, I haven't forgotten
you. I wake up late to accept my fate. Intangible dreams
aren't manageable it seems, and it's true, I haven't
forgotten you. I can't believe what's happening to me.
Safe and sound, leaves on the groud, numbing riffs, my
mind starts to drift, and it's true, I haven't forgotten
you. The wind is chilled. My mind is filled with thoughts
of you, who I am, what you do. If you'd just talk to me
I'd be so careless and happy, you could see that we were
meant to be. It's the end of October, the month is over,
I've been disillusioned. You're with him, I'm losing it.
I don't ever want to see October leave me. Please don't
