@Mario Espinosa Gironella Good luck in Your studies fellow Film enthusiast!

"I gotta pinch a loaf." ~ Tommy Chong. Just as meaningless in reference to the scene.

​@@scarygary-qq1pj​ It couldn't be a more appropriate quote. Basically, what Leo Tolstoy was saying was that if we can turn a blind eye to the needless murder of animals, as animals ourselves, we become more desensitized to violence in general. As long as we rationalize away needless death we will continue a cycle of needless violence. If we can subsist on food not requiring animal suffering, if we ever have the option to minimize suffering, of course that should be our priority. Why shouldn't it be?

Sergei Eisenstein describes Overtonal Montage in a following way “from the moment that overtones can be heard parallel with the basic sound, there also can be sensed vibrations, oscillations that cease to impress as tones, but rather as purely physical displacements of the perceived impression.” This particular clip shows rhythms and metric cuts but also there are parallels whistling is intercut with a bugle alarm where fire and striking people being literally put out by water.

@@urssaX can you tell me what camera use in this film. Also in battleship Potemkin 1925 which camera they use. ?

2022 here

Its probabaly the quickest and least harmful ways to kill cattle available to farmers at the time, so I wouldnt per se its cruelty unless youre against killing animals for food altogether

Bet you won't eat your pets.

@@bee-nf5bj Slaughter by cutting the wind pipe and bleeding the animal to death is called Sheshita and is a religious, jewish practice. The farmer could have also knocked the cow unconscious, like it was practice in Europe since the Middle Ages.

I didn't even notice that.

Avec une version 3D

lol yep, studying for finals. heh.

Any dumb student here because he feels that learning about film is dumb? Anyone?

Yup... editing assignment lol

@@thistendstobe Yeah, what a struggle. Being forced to learn about important history within the medium you're studying. What a fucking catastrophe...

sorry you're desensitized to the brutality of innocent animals????

On en a rien à péter, tu veux quoi ?! Une médaille ?!

It's the soundtrack made by the alloy orchestra

Darude - Sandstorm

It's the soundtrack made by the Alloy Orchestra, added much later to Strike which was originally silent.

Haha! My first thoughts exactly!!!

It sounds more like the Solid state scouter theme from Dragon ball Z

Chris Snyder Visually yes maybe, but lets bleed out a real human in front of them see how they react. In person it is not the same as on screen.

Ben Beaupré I'll give you that, the real thing is much different. But check out the psychological studies done on children who were raised in societies without TV and shown war movies for the first time. They ran out of the room screaming and puking. There is something to say about desensitization from violence in the media. It shifts everyone over on the scale. For most of us, the effect is negligible because we are still square in the middle scale. But for those on the fringes of the scale, they are pushed over into violence in reality.

Chris Snyder i would have tought society raised without TV would have already seen slaughter of animal many time. Human is an animal, how different from a bull are we, we have blood and meat and fat, just as them. So slaughter of bull and human are essentialy the same, except for the perception we give it.

Real footage of human death will make most people including me very uneasy. But this is real footage of a cow. In this, they are intending to spark rage, in how the working population are treated silenced and executed like cattle.
