A Soviet Montage and How it inspires me

«The profession of film director can and should be such a high and precious one; that no man aspiring to it can disregard any knowledge that will make him a better film director or human being» - said the most influential of the Soviet montage-theorist Sergei Eisenstein. As an example of the main Eisenstein’s theory here is two images to show how these absolutely unrelated pictures such as eye and a drop, can lead another meaning which you could instantly recognise as tears. Instead of to tell a story via images, Eisenteinian movies try to stimulate the spectators to think through images. (Stam)

Another Russian montage-strategist and Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov created his own effect by which a person can retrieve more meaning from one shot that stays the same all the time in comparison with another one. What do you see here? Is your emotion and information which you receiving from these pictures is the same?

The main point in montage is provoke your emotions, feelings and the meaning.

All above mentioned theories inspire me to possess these skills in montage that could convey the idea to the audience without any words. Because combination of the images is more important than content. In Soviet montage, I noticed that usually filmmakers do close-up shots, the main accent was to details using.
