    I watched the 80-minute version, which was rearranged (with English subtitles), and the soundtrack was very exciting to create momentum for the revolution. I don’t know if it was added later. The film is also very evident in the insertion and (contrastive, metaphorical) montage of Eisen's face...

    It’s really hard to say. It seems a little stiff now, and it’s understandable to squeeze juice.

    The German-French Avant-Garde and the Soviet Montage School

                In the French avant-garde, more attention was paid to formal beauty.
                On the other hand, the German avant-garde has become more and more beautiful in content, reflecting more of the social reality. Murnau, the leader of expressionism, "The Lowliest Man", etc. But in his, "The...

    Eisenstein's late film theory: Utopian viewing behavior and aesthetic collectiveness

    Press: When discussing labor relations and the aesthetic ideology of the proletariat from the perspective of video, we must not be able to bypass Eisenstein as a key starting point. As the founder of the montage technique, Eisenstein became one of the leaders of the Soviet avant-garde with his...
