The movie demonstrates how it can invade our life and turn a being into an inanimate object (such as the doll sitting in front of a working sewing machine), but the movie also demonstrates the way technology can enrich our lives (transportation, medicine, etc). <BR/><BR/>I think the tone of the movie resembles a lot how Vertov approached filming of the movie. It was an experimentation of how one can use a camera to manipulate and direct the cine-eye, but at the same time, it dealt with how one can become immersed within the cine-eye.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38644188.post-1170039985717599802007-01-28T19:06:00.000-08:002007-01-28T19:06:00.000-08:00I tend to agree with the majority of what you argu...I tend to agree with the majority of what you argued. I don't necessarily know if the point of the film was to demonstrate how machines invade our lives. What I took away from both the movie and Cine-Eye (both by Vertov) was that Vertov is supremely impressed by the abilities and capacities of film. I agree with your point about the music (although it did not ALWAYS work) but I think Vertov was mainly having fun with the technology that allowed him to do mirror images or unusual shots.RachelKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14053048733811630649noreply@blogger.com
