Document Summary
Eisenstein"s cinema was responding to two parts of movements in this world: bourgeois cinema. Prestige puffed up films, dependent on melodramatic narratives, Russian revolution he was a really big super socialist. Stalin- film is the best way to show propaganda. He was influenced by the general dialectical movements of kuleshov. Looking at things at a different perspective we can have a different relationship with the familiar. Narrators, dialects, use of foreign languages in a work. Allow us to have a different look on the world. Give way to new colloquialisms, writing in the way people really spoke. A different relationship to the text and world. Life us out of the text, allow us to have different perspectives. In making, strange, we render the act of perceiving as conscious the text is forcing me to engage it on a meta level. Political alienation: the reader becomes active, he/she is incited to participate. Make us aware of the act of perceiving.
