"October" is one of Sergei Mikhailovich Eizenshtein's most experimental and creative films using montage. Although there are many famous shots, there are many images and complex structures, and it is easy for non-film students (such as me) to look at them and get blinded. This article, published in Jump Cut Magazine in 1977 by Murray Sperber, is an early and well-known one of the review articles perusing October. I don't know if there is a Chinese translation. I reposted the full text here, hoping to have some help and inspiration for everyone.

The early Russian montage is very famous in the history of film, montage is divided into story montage and editing montage. One of the best and most famous is Sergei Mikhailovich Eizenshtein, whose masterpieces "Bronenosets Potemkin" and "October" are excellent examples. As a filmmaker, Sergei Mikhailovich Eizenshtein hates the traditional narrative mode of drama films. His concept is to make the shots come together to achieve visual shock, so most of his editing is illogical.
