Vertov, Gave us life in the raw.

As I stated in my blog about Nanook, I love documentaries and Nanook was great, however I feel Vertov captured a different type of humanity on film, a very emotional and raw look at people. Nanook showed how he lived, Man with the Movie Camera showed more of why we live. The emotions of the people were clear. The things we go thru were shown, marriage-divorce, birth-death, work-play, etc. And he did it with all different film techniques to accentuate things. The stop frames on a face emphasised the emotion the person was feeling. The slow or fast motions of live. It was by far the best film we saw so far. My only complaint was that he could of cut off about 10 min. it ran a bit long. Otherwise, awesome.
