The man with the movie camera

I found this movie to be very interesting. I was a big fan of all of the cool camera shots that were in this movie. The shot with the train was awesome and looked risky because the guy set it up as the train was coming right toward him. This film appeared to be a documentary with the camera just shooting typical events that took place in a day in the Soviet Union. My favorite part of the movie is the shots of the athletes when they are competing it must have been one of the first scenes with sports so glorified like that. The camera lengths of each shot seemed to move very fast. While Eisenstein's scenes were propagandic toward the Reds, this movie just showed things that took place as they happened without trying to propagandize the film. They were only a few characters in this film the Man with the camera and the editor lady who appears to put the movie together. Another thing I liked about this film was the music that they used, it really put you into a few of scenes a made the shots look extremely interesting. After seeing this movie i definatley prefer this style of the style of Eisenstein.
