But he says that the scene where you see the Emperor in his dark hood, and surrounded by storm troopers in Emprier Strikes Back is ripped off straight from Eisenstein.
There's not many ways you can do it. We went over this in a Russian cinema class I took at Purdue. I dibs Eisenstein before the class started because of the era he worked in. The prof said I could have him if I would address that legend, mainly because he was sick of doing it himself.

He has to use style to cover a lack of pretty colors. He did that.

BTW, did you ever watch "Doctor Zhivago"? The opening scene where they're going to the funeral and the people occupy the bottom 2% of the screen, pure Eisenstein. :swoon:

I think I did... I was young enough to have forgotten though... and I wouldn't recognize Eisenstein's style if he got zombie and came back to bite me... I'd need to watch his stuff first... attentively, because what I saw was like, before I got into college, and I didn't pay sufficient attention (not to mention all the classics like Aleksandr Nevsky that I simply never got to watch)

I had a prof try to argue that Dr. Z was a war story. I said, "It's a about a Russian poet that's banging two hawties."

I've heard people say that Boule de Suif, by Guy de maupassant, is a tale of the hardship of war (rather than one about the French bourgeois being slimeballs)

*cough* could do... now, I've got a backlog that could cover months even if I did a serious job of it...

The Blind Men and the Elephant was a story of failed communications in a small group dynamic.

Beverly Hills 90210 was an expression of existentialist angst experienced by young adults in the impersonal, meaningless dystopia that is current American culture.

I might be on to something here.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
