Watching this one gave me the feeling like the entire world was one living, breathing organism. It took a variety of activities which we see as mundane, and revealed them to be the universal tie between all people. This wouldn't've been so clearly portrayed if this movie were made of scripts and actors instead of real life footage.
This film allowed us to see more of the lives of the people in the past than we ever would have otherwise. I feel like I'm let in on a secret. If no one ever recorded daily events in a film like this, how would we ever be able to experience what it was like to wake up in Russia in 1929? I appreciate this film because it recorded things that usually go unpreserved in favor of more monumentous subjects. I thank Vertov for taking the time to appreciate the beauty of the world around us. It's one thing to know that people lived life and went about theyre business 70 years ago much like we do today-- that is an undeniable fact. However, when you have tangible evidence of their lives, it makes one feel so much more connected with them.
