The document discusses Sergei Eisenstein's transition from theatre to film in the 1920s in the Soviet Union. It provides background on Eisenstein's early career in theatre design in Moscow before directing his first major films Strike in 1925 and Battleship Potemkin the same year. The document also mentions Eisenstein's use of "Typage", a form of characterization, to sharply present new characters. It raises the question of whether modern filmmaker Tyler Perry's work can be considered similar to Eisenstein's style.
