    Vertov and Eiseinstein are true genius. The montages that these two present are astounding for the time of film. Especially for Russia

    Compare to the infamous Caligari – made just after Oct. Rev. – The writer himself is sent to a mental asylum, so ending can be CHANGED to put the monster Caligari in charge! “The madmen have charge of the Asylum!” The poor fellow was actually slowly tortured to death after! Insulin, Sodium Pentathol, SHOCK TREATMENTS, & finally a LOMBOTOMY, before he died! Same going on today in US torture chambers, all over the world, many hidden!

    what do you mean the montages were astounding “especially for Russia”? Eisenstein’s montage – is the basis of all other montage. his montage is the beginning, the classic
