Unprecedented - "Juggling Montage"

Marcelle 2022-07-10 22:43:43

"Strike" has eight parts, which are about the workers' resistance movement during the Tsarist period. An hour and a half of the film, extremely vivid narrative, dizzying.

Watch Eisenstein's films and you'll see that the lines are completely unnecessary. Vocals can affect editing, which in his opinion is absolute. Eisenstein stitches together all the unrelated images, the emotionless close-ups, and guides the audience into the "story" he creates. . . In his montages, it seems that the shadow of poetry can be seen. Just like the examples he cited himself in "Montage", the symbolic meanings of those animals and objects are very obvious, but each scene is a part of the development of the plot. revelation. Regarding the music, I can only say that the soundtrack is really good, it has jumped out of the "traditional silent film" music mode, and even every note and every shot fit perfectly. It's one of the best silent films I've seen, a fine work of art. Anyone who loves movies should watch this movie, it will get a lot of inspiration from it~~
