Domestic directors should take a good look at how to shoot a red theme movie where good and evil are completely opposed. Don’t give me a 45-degree forward and reverse fight as soon as the dialogue is reached, and the editing is to cut a scene in half a minute. It’s boring to watch. Please, you're not doing a TV show. Eisenstein's Soviet-style montage has actually developed into a system that can make such an "oversimplified" story very appealing. In Potemkin there are two montages displayed. One is Rythmic, which is based on the length of the shot and the movement within the picture. The second is a tonal montage (Tonal), based on the infectious response of the footage. And as a silent film, all the lines are compressed into subtitles, and only the symphony and shots are left in the whole piece. The infection of "Potemkin" has been quite successful. The emotions of the five chapters are progressive. Contradictions are created within the passage, and the tension of strong contradictions is also fully revealed, especially in the passage of "Odessa Stairs": soldiers strafing the common people and crowds fleeing in panic, corpses lying longitudinally on the stairs The visual intersectional composition, the contrast between the mother holding her child and walking towards the soldiers against the crowd, the fleeing crowd, the soldiers in a row... But I really didn't expect the "Marseillaise" in the background symphony in the last chapter, it's really amazing Shock
