Russian Silent Film

   ..................... That was my reaction to the "Battleship Potemkin" film! I have no words to the step part it was shocking but really really good and interesting! Einsenstein did a great job but obvioulsy it had some errors, you can notice the lack of experience to make movies and professionalism but it was awesome. The silent style gives it a plus because each one can make their different dialogues in their minds even though they give you some of them and that add some intensity. I liked it a lot and it's fairly judged as one of the greatest film of all time! The silent documentary "Man with a Movie Camera" was a great job regard to the edition because can you imagine make a movie with all those effects in those times! I think it was a tough work because 80 years ago they didn't have the same technology. And talking about the  plot it isn't to good because it just meaningless just people and stuff like that, I didn't like it at all. Russians were INSANE, no offense :)

De Stijl

   De Stijl was a strange movement, it was simple and didn't need a lot of things to be part of it. The paintings of De Stijl were very simple, they were just lines and geometrical forms. I liked them because I love the things that are simple, without to much things on it,  like Mondrian paintings. The "Composition II" was my favorite. But the other ones I thing that lacked of potential and ruined De Stijl's reputation or power to impact in the movements, like the" Rhythm of a Russian Dance" by Doesburg. The sculpture was cool, also just geometrical forms and a simple colors, for me that is a great sculpture. And about the architecture and desing, the chair is really good but comme on you need something soft for you! The Schroder House is an amazing job! Every technique of De Stijl is used and applied to build the house it is really really good, I would love to own that house!
