Eisenstein and Bazin a comparisonof basic style
Eisenstein and Bazin: a comparison Eisenstein and Bazin have related views of cinema, but with key fundamental differences. But remember: Bazin and Eisenstein are writing with different motivations, and thus cannot be compared directly. Eisenstein is describing the way he thinks cinema should be used; while Bazin is describing the ways that cinema affects its audience regardless of who uses it. But the difference still is striking: while Bazin describes a myth of total cinema in which reality would be perfectly displayed, Eisenstein argues that the emphasis for a filmmaker should not be merely to portray reality instead to produce responses in an audience.
