Our Soviet Friends



This video is based on the Kuleshov effect, which was coined by another early Soviet filmmaker like Eisenstein, who we spent a lot of time talking about today.  Hitchcock does a good job explaining it.

Here is the original video.


The idea is that after seeing the soup, the man looks hungry.  After the dead child, sad.  Etc.  However, his expression never changes.  This is the power of montage editing.
