Well to start off, I had already seen this film before in a previous Film Studies lesson but was not interested enough to watch it. However, that just doesn't give the film the credit it deserves. So as I sat down to actually watch the film for what seemed like the first time, I was expecting some kind of plot to arise, but what I got seemed like an array of different shots and scenes. I instantly noticed that it was an experimental film and I finally began to see what all the fuss was about. After all, critics have been saying that this is one of the top 10 films ever made.
Although at first the film seems quite simple and some people even said boring, it was easy to get caught up in the film because so much was going on. I really liked this film due to the experimental nature of it. The director; Dziga Vertov has tried to use various different cinematic processes to tell a story. He has shown how far film can be taken and set a standard for any film made after.
