It is true that the film is the best model of montage theory, but I think that in the era of Bourne 3, Blair the Witch and other DV vomiting works, this film is not fast paced, even a lot of fifty or sixty. The era's film is shorter than it is.
What I appreciate is that the composition has a sufficient sense of form, and the coverage is well done. Moreover, the films of the 1920s have created scenes that are not inferior to today's. These are far ahead of their time.
Looking at the film, it makes people feel like a video poem, or an influence symphony, that is to say, whether it is from the story, subtitles or composition, it is very formal and freehand, the authenticity is put aside, and some scenes are often repeated and strengthened. Rendering, much like how a symphony develops. There are exactly five movements, reminiscent of Mahler, but unfortunately there is no vocal in the last chapter.
