Creation of Concepts through the Combination of Images in "Strike" Sergei Eisenstein (1898 – 1948) was one of the most famous filmmakers of the early 20th Century. His formal training as an engineer and architect in St. Petersburg, as well as his Russian heritage and Marxist beliefs, greatly influenced his eventual career in filmmaking. One of Eisenstein's greatest contributions is the montage, consisting of images chosen arbitrarily and independently from the action presented for maximum impact rather than in chronological sequence. Eisenstein's first film, 1924's Strike, was a revolutionary application of this "montage of attractions" editing method in which Eisenstein propounded his beliefs about the Russian class warfare. The editing of Strike produced multiple montages by juxtaposing images to exert emotional impact. Due to his introduction of innovative editing to create emotionally impactful montages, Eisenstein is deemed one of the pioneers of cinema. Nevertheless, Eisenstein's use of montage has also been criticized. Overall, Eisenstein's work is widely regarded as foundational to much of the cinematic work to date.
