Montage Discussion

In “Beyond the Shot,” Eisenstein uses his understanding of the Japanese hieroglyph to illustrate montage
theory. How does he do this? How does it illustrate montage as conflict rather than the brick-by-brick method of
montage? What is the significance of understanding montage as conflict rather than brick-by-brick? Finally,
pick and analyze a sequence from Strike (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlApkG-6kN8&t=446s )– link for
youtube vide–that illustrates Eisenstein’s montage principle at work.
