The October Revolution, having resolved the social conflict of society, created the prerequisites for a quick resolution of the main contradiction of cinema, in which it, the most widespread of the arts, belonged only to the bourgeois class. The revolution handed over filmmaking to the people. This led to a revolution within art itself: the flow of real life that flooded onto the screen changed its artistic nature.

By discovering the life of the people, cinematography was discovering itself.

Speaking of his advanced achievements, we immediately recall "Battleship Potemkin" and "Mother" — films in which nationality and realism won a historic victory.

But these paintings were not happy exceptions, due only to the genius of their creators.

Time has prepared the conditions for the appearance of these paintings, it has shaped the talent of the artists who staged them.

A new life invaded the screen even earlier. Let's recall at least the chronicle of the Civil War period. There were also melodramas and sentimental films left over from the past or shot by inertia after the revolution, and already the revolutionary theme sounded powerfully in the chronicle, breaking old ideas about the purpose of cinema.

The chronicle not only gave the first sprouts of art imbued with communist ideas, it educated artists who had gone through a great political and creative school. On the fronts, in the labor hinterland, a sense of the rhythm of the new age, its beauty, and style was born. The seeds of this were in the best shots of those inimitable years, produced by cameramen P. Novitsky, P. Ermolov, E. Tisset, G. Gibert, A. Levitsky, A. Lemberg, E. Slavinsky.

These grains fell into the fertile soil that had been turned up by the revolution. In the works of S. Eisenstein, they grew into a "Strike" and then into a "Battleship". Next to and after them, V. Pudovkin's "Mother", A. Dovzhenko's "Arsenal", F. Ermler's "Fragment of Empire" arose on this basis...

These paintings made up the era of not only Soviet, but also world cinema. The cinema of socialist realism began with them.

The life of the people is its main theme.

The life of a common man, humiliated and insulted, has been portrayed before. The cinema art of socialist realism is characterized by the portrayal of life from the perspective of the people themselves and their vanguard, the proletariat. Hence, not sentimental sympathy for the oppressed, but the discovery of his true role in history. Related to this is the masculinity and determination of the new art, which not only reflects the transformations of life, but is also an active participant in these transformations.

But not only in the films that directly reflected the revolution, the people were shown in a new way. Nationality has become a sign of the entire art of socialist realism, which has opened up new possibilities in depicting eras more distant from us.
