In fact, this film is also worthy of this highest score. Created one of the most important techniques and a theory in the movie... The key is that it still has absolute existence value, and it is getting more and more intense!
Thanks to TV, the Internet, and fast-paced life, things like montage have been used extremely well. Turn on the TV, and any advertisement is fully used, even in the news (if you take the entire news as a whole, you will find that it is actually a blockbuster montage).
Reminds me of one of Eisenstein’s points about the power of cinema: … not revolving around the protagonist, but a juxtaposition of a series of images whose contrasts move the story forward in the viewer’s mind.
This concept was later subtly changed, and the novelty, twists, and fast pace of the storyline became the main content. Most fast food movies, popcorn movies, TV shows do this. Create suspense with the ups and downs of the plot, and replace the characters with suspense... How to say, the characters complete the ups and downs of the plot to stimulate the senses! Probably means this. Instead of using events to create plump characters.
So I saw that now the technical means are getting more and more advanced, and the fast pace is a lot of shots, cutting non-stop, all kinds of cutting, cutting without purpose, cutting watermelons, cutting cabbage, cutting grenades, cutting fighter jets... It's
too far... One of the most peculiar things about Soviet cinema is the consistency of themes. Although the formalism, rigidity, and even the values and themes themselves are wrong, they have always been run through and used various means to clarify the purpose, so this movie has always been one of the greatest movies.
