名称：母亲 又名：Mother 年代：1926 类型：剧情 语言：无对白 国家：苏联 导演：弗谢沃罗德·普多夫金 编剧：马克西姆·高尔基 / Nathan Zarkhi 演员：Vera Baranovskaya / Nikolai Batalov / Aleksandr Chistyakov / Anna Zemtsova / Ivan Koval-Samborsky / N. Vidonov 剧情：This is one of the classic Soviet silent films. The story is about a family torn apart by a worker's strike. At first, the mother wants to protect her family from the troublemakers, but eventually she realizes that her son is right and the workers should strike. The plot is similar to other Soviet films of the era but does focus more on the individual than some of Eisenstein's films. The mother and son do represent the collective but they are also strong characters on their own.
The best part of the film is the editing. It is always sharp and quick. When there is action, the edits are fast and give the viewer a sense of chaos. The Soviets were masters of montage and this film is a prime example. The acting is also better than in most silent films. It is clear that the actors come from the serious stage and not Vaudeville. The cinematography is somewhat average, though, and the film feels a little flat at times. It is not perfect, but it is worth seeing for all and essential viewing for those interested in Russian film or montage.
