I thought the most striking thing about this movie was the music. It really seemed to tell the story. I especially liked the scene with the wedding march, and how it was played normally when the marriage certificate was shown, but the music changed ( to minor?) when the divorce certificate was shown. I also thought it was interesting how Vertov kept switching between marriage, divorce, birth, and death, portraying the ups and downs of life.
The only real character in the movie is the man carrying around the camera. Another character would be the society as a whole.
There was also a very different use of montage in this film. Not only does Vertov use the same type of montage as Eisenstein by switching very rapidly between scenes, but he also superimposes images on top of each other, where we are actually seeing more than one scene at one time.
