1. A movie loses its montage like a shadow loses its light. Shadows always exist, but only light can confirm shadows. No longer a continuation of a fixed single shot, montage endows the film with infinite expressive tension. "The alignment of two montage shots is not the sum of the two numbers, but the product of the two numbers." Think of the film as an organism, and through each single, meaningless combination of shots, naturally collide and impact each other to form a new I believe that Eisenstein shot the film with such a huge excitement at that time that he wanted to expand the effect of the montage. The tone at the front of the film is really even. Frequent switching at a constant speed, until the "Tragedy on the Deck" and "Staircase Massacre" in the back, when the mother watched the baby carriage roll down the stone steps, these climaxes appeared, the editing was precise, and the montage effect was pushed to the climax. And those three representative The lion, just like this movie, stands still in history. However, it must be said that the montage used by Grandpa Eisenstein is too obsessive.
2. The expressive power of silent films is limited after all. , especially for such a film that promotes revolutionary ideas and rebels against the tsar, the lack of sound seems as weak as losing siblings. Fortunately, the soundtrack composed by Edmund Meisel and Nikolai Kryukov greatly makes up for this defect. The music fluctuates with the development of the plot, it is also impassioned, and it is also miserable and indignant. Now, there should be no film that can run through the music. The emergence of new things always has to break the balance of things in the past, or even destroy them 3.
The plot of the film is relatively simple. The plot structure is based on the classical drama structure of the five-act drama. The performance is very direct, and the most metaphorical one should be the three lions. "A bloody case caused by a bowl of soup", haha.)
4. My urge to watch this film is not because of the three lions, but because the book says that this is the earliest color film. By painting the film, it is said that the flag is painted red. The version is too bad, I just think the whole film is black and white. So, I failed. .
