Response: Man with a Movie Camera

Three motifs that recognized in the film were hard working women who still had time to look good and get the things they wanted done done. I see the motif of work hard, play hard, and then train hard in the film. After the work scene everything slow down and everyone in the film were seen at the beach; relaxing and having a good time. Afterwards the workouts scenes came into effect. Last but not least I also the motif of life towards the end of the film with the baby being born and given to his mother. It was a rather unexpected moment, but life can be that way sometime, unexpected. Vertov’s manifesto was established in the film the best that he could have; this movie was life through his eyes, it was a day. All and all this film was before its time and a look at life that can still be seen today through the lens of a camera.
