Soviet realism and Montage

Pudovkin's concept of "constructive editing" clearly insisted that a new meaning and point would be made through a juxtaposition of different assembled shots giving a new feeling to the style of editing. Pudovkin developed a formalist form of editing which incorporated a more unified meaning of close ups within montages in an attempt to break the barrier of classical editing. Pudovkin had a goal of adding a whole new meaning to film doing this he felt films should show director's way of expressing their point of view in films

Film Critique


Film Critique                                                                                                                      Vince Sciacqua

                This summer I watched Ted. Ted is about a 10 year old kid who got a teddy bear for Christmas and made a wish for his bear to come alive. And then it cuts to a shot showing a shooting star. The next day he wakes up and he cant find it and when he does find him hes alive. The teddy bear becomes a sanitation and him and his owner John ( played by Mark Wahlberg ) are best friends from then on. 
                John and Ted live together with John's girlfriend ( Mila Kunis ) in a Boston apartment at first it was just fun and games. Ted and John would sit down on the couch and smoke weed and drink almost all day. So Johns girlfriend gets mad and tells him he needs to have Ted move out so they can start a life together 
                Ted moved out and one day he and John went on a walk in the park and encountered this Man and his son who wanted to buy Ted. John said no and moved on. Then one day Ted got kidnapped by the same man and so John and his girlfriend go on a chase for him and the Man leads them to Fenway park. 
                So now the man climbs to the top of the green monster lights and drops ted off the light on to the field and he is torn up and hes stuffing is all over the place. So John rushes home and sews him up but he wasn't responding so they go to bed but Johns girlfriend looks out the window and sees a shooting star and wishes for her " old life back" and in the morning Ted is alive and the live happily ever after.
               I would definitely recommend this movie to my friends because its hilarious and its a can't miss
