Professor Deng Qiyao commented on "The Man with the Camera": "The film eye once became a powerful tool for avant-garde writers to subvert the previous visual experience." The mechanical eye is different from the observation of the naked eye, but Vertov tried his best to highlight the film's mechanical eye and visual experience in the film. The similarity of the naked eye, the comparison of the aperture switch of the lens and the eyelid, the comparison of the push and pull of the lens and the eye movement, there is a section of the lens that almost matches the blink rate of the human eye. Vertov seems to want to use the camera to simulate the movement of the eyes to show the expressive characteristics of the camera simulacrum. It has a specific expression law. When the law conforms to the visual experience of the human eye, we will not feel that the camera is artificially controlled. Yes, we thought it was a real image, until the cameras and photographers who occasionally appeared in the film to remind us that we can see what we want to see is not what they want us to see.
