What is montage and how is it used in movies?

Eisenstein tried to communicate image thinking and logical thinking through montage, and to combine science and art, trying to embody human rational activities and strengthen the philosophical tendency of movies. This book is very valuable. However, Eisenstein overemphasized the role of montage, thinking that movies should use montage to explain reality, avoid characterization, express ideas directly, and even intentionally put Das Kapital on the screen. As a result, some of his films are fragmented and obscure. Nevertheless, Eisenstein and other representatives of the Soviet school made indelible contributions to the film montage theory. In 1950s and 1960s, long shots were widely used, especially TV reporting technology, which contributed to this trend. The depth arrangement of complex scenes in feature films is developing day by day. This kind of scene scheduling does not need to change the action location, which changes the nature of traditional montage. Film theorists believe that the evolution of this montage marks a new era in film history. Although in the 1950s and 1960s, some western film newspapers and periodicals sometimes predicted "the demise of montage" and "the end of montage", practice has proved that there is no film without montage, and even in a long shot, there is a montage (scene scheduling) inside the shot. Montage also exists in TV, even if it is a live event for TV viewers, such as ship launching, sports competition or delegation arrival. , must be edited on the spot. This kind of live editing requires TV photographers and directors to have special qualities, be able to immediately discover and accurately express the essence of events, and have more keen montage thinking and montage vision.
