问题在于，宣传电影是否真的对公众产生了影响，而许多人长期以来毫无疑问地一直在这么做。苏联当然会投入大量的稀缺资源，尽管这并不像电影制作人所希望的那样，以这种新颖的宣传方式，承认强大的、大众的、政治宣传的电影媒介的明显潜力。里夫斯认为，在包括英国和苏维埃共和国在内的许多国家，电影宣传的力量仅仅是假设的。直到20世纪50年代，政治家和评论家们似乎才更相信大众媒体，尤其是电影，提供了一种独特的武器，能够有效地塑造大众的意识形态。Reeves进一步认为，英国在第一次和第二次世界大战之间的实证研究主要是支持电影宣传和媒体对大众的影响。几乎没有例外的战争研究强调了他们巨大的力量，使用像“皮下注射针”或“魔弹”这样的隐喻来描述力量，而不是他们喜欢与否，接收到媒体所产生的信息。尽管最近对这些发现提出了更大的挑战，但艾森斯坦的10月份被广泛认为对俄罗斯人民和外国人都产生了深远的影响，他们对布尔什维克的崛起形成了自己的看法和理解。
澳洲统计学论文代写:宣传电影
The question is whether propaganda films really exerted the influence over the public that many have long held unquestionably that they do. The Soviets certainly committed a surprising amount of scarce resources, although not as much as the filmmakers would have liked, to this novel form of propaganda, recognising the apparent potential of the medium of cinema for powerful, mass, political propaganda. Reeves contends that in many countries, including the UK and Soviet Republic, the power of film propaganda was simply assumed. Through the 1950s,politicians and commentators alike seem to have become only more convinced that the mass media in general, cinema in particular, provided a weapon uniquely capable of effectively moulding the ideology of the masses. Reeves further contends that empirical studies in Britain between the First and Second World Wars are primarily supportive of the power of film propaganda and the media to influence the general populace. Almost without exception inter-war studies stressed their enormous power, using metaphors like "hypodermic needle" or "magic bullet" to characterise that power in contrast to the weakness of the mass of people who, whether they liked it or not, received the messages which the media generated. While there have been more recent challenges to these findings, Eisenstein's October is widely held to have had a profound impact both on the Russian people and foreigners in shaping their perception and understanding of the Bolsheviks' rise to power.
