1. Filmed with state funding. Lenin mentioned the film as a medium that can best serve ideology. "Strike" was used as a "textbook" for socialist film shooting at that time, whether in form or political propaganda, but it is undeniable that it is indeed very good, and it has become a reference book for countless films in the future.
2. Each frame can be used as a still photographic work, and the composition is excellent.
3. Film art serves ideology. If communism/socialism is evil according to some western positions, then this film is evil, it instills a certain awareness in innocent audiences invisibly through images through the unique ability of film to "control" people's minds form, so The Strike is dictatorial. But isn't that the case with all movies and moving images? This is just one of the more extreme examples, and the more extreme Nazi authorities filmed "The Eternal Jew" (the narration introduces the migration of Jews, and the image shows the migration of rats, which reminds one of "Strike" inside the metaphor of the last cow falling). But the typical product of free-market capitalist society, advertising, can you say that it uses images to instill less ideology than Strike?
4. I have no intention of taking a stand, all I want to say is that we live in an ideological world, and all we see is that we stand in our ideological field opposite other ideologies, which are "Exclusivity" rather than right and wrong affects our judgment. Realizing this, we can "forgive" and begin to accept and appreciate many things, such as movies.
