Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Russia went and had a revolution in 1917 and cinema was a big part of its aftermath. Even though film stock was hard to come by, we saw the first film school started, and the study of film became hugely important. Russian filmmakers started trying to understand the power of the cut itself, thus developing a theory of filmmaking based solely around the juxtaposition of images: Soviet Montage. In this episode of Crash Course Film History, Craig talks us through some of the filmic things going on in post-revolution era Russia

This is nice, except for the implication, given at the end of the video, that Hollywood was somehow apolitical. Rather, it was propaganda-lite. From Hollywood, I ingested in my youth many notions about America and its place in the world, notions subtly embedded in -non-political- entertainment films, that I later discovered were completely untrue, and which could have gotten me killed if I hadn't wised up when I did.

only 1: 07 and you're already wrong, the industry in the USSR, as according to the most basic level of the doctrine of communism, was not owned nor controlled by the state, but rather by the workers.

If all films are an illusion, then all life is an illusion. In life you filter out unimportant bits of info, but that doesn't constitute as an illusion, neither does an honest documentary.
