Even though this really isn't my thing I still found it entertaining in short doses. I watch this in 4 parts and still struggled a bit. I fully recognize that this was very innovative and a huge influence on the films that followed.

It's just another manic Monday...for the swarms of Soviet trolley dodgers in Vertov's experimental documentary. While the film has some interesting cinematography, in addition to the meta nature of it all, the movie, however quickly takes on this b-roll music video feel that makes it really easy to just zone out. Well, that is until some random birth or nudity grabs your attention, and you're reminded it's the arrangement of shots that really matters, so you try to focus, but just zone back out.

I'm an eye. A mechanical eye. I, the machine, show you a world the way only I can see it. I free myself for today and forever from human immobility. I'm in constant movement. I approach and pull away from objects. I creep under them. I fall and rise with the falling and rising bodies. This is I, the machine, manoeuvring in the chaotic movements, recording one movement after another in the most complex combinations.

A great cinematic language based on Constructivist Art Wave and also, I guess, Hegelian Dialectic. It also reminds me the poem called "Makinalaşmak (Mechanization) " which was written by powerful "romantic" writer and poet Nazım Hikmet who is also one of my favorites.
