ABSTRACT

Eisenstein believes that films should reflect the reality, and montage is the means of realizing the will of the director and the function of the film. Eisenstein always creates films between experimental formalism and realism. His documentary film ¡Que Viva Mexico! which represents his bold exploration and attempt of formalism aesthetics develops a new thinking on the deep relationship between image composition elements, structure methods and the deep meaning transmission of images.
