Man with a Movie Camera Reflection

Posted on by

Evan though Man with a Movie Camera doesn’t have a narrative and is a little hard to watch, we can break things down and try to interpret the film. Because this film has no narrative we have a lot of freedom to think about what Vertov’s motives were and what he was trying to accomplish with the film. If someone were to watch this film nowadays for leisure they would find it confusing and a little random, but through our film class we can look at it from the point of view of the director. When this film was being made, it was in an era full of change. There was a revolution going on with industrialization and technology and we get to see the early stages of that. We are able to tell that Vertov valued this revolution with industrialization because we see multiple times the trains being pulled throughout the city and different factories. We also get to see that different social classes throughout the city in the Soviet Union.  We see the upper class people in their cars, getting haircuts, watching sporting events, and being well off. For the other side of the social class, Vertov shows us people sleeping on the streets, factory workers covered in black; we get to see a huge contrast between the two social classes. I think Vertov also valued life and humans as a whole. Vertov has the audience experience love and heartbreak; two things almost everyone experiences in their life. We see a couple getting married looks happy and excited then we see a couple filling out a divorce document, were the women looks upset. I think Vertov values life because shows a women giving birth. It’s kind of a celebration of life for him to show that to the audience. The audience also gets a look at the city life in Soviet Union. It was crowded time in the city with everyone moving there for jobs, and we see that happening with crowds of people walking on the busy streets. For the film Man with a Movie Camera well can interpret what Vortov values.  The director values life, emotions, and innovation.

  1. I also thought it was important within the film the scenes depicting the difference of the social class. I found the one particular scene with the child sleeping outside as strong imagine. I agree that Vertov wanted life to be a theme within his film as he showed different aspects of it throughout its entirety.
