Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Strike is a 1925 film from the Soviet Union, directed by Sergei Eisenstein. This film is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, a dramatic story of a strike at a factory, set not long before the revolution of 1905.The factory is tense, with workers seething with resentment, management spying on them, and Bolsheviks in the factory plotting a strike. Tensions boil over and the workers storm out after one worker, unjustly accused by management of stealing a micrometer, hangs himself in the middle of the factory rather than bear the shame of being called a thief. The workers present management with a fairly reasonable set of demands, such as an eight-hour day, but management is contemptuous of the workers, and plots a violent response to the strike.Strike was the debut feature of Eisenstein, who would revolutionize film with his theories on montage and editing. It was planned as the first of a seven-film series about the Russian Revolution. No more films in the series were made but elements of Eisenstein's original concept were made into the films The Battleship Potemkin and October.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Contrast Montage: The workers' meal—families eating simple peasant food, enjoying each others' company—is intercut with the factory director, eating a fancy meal and drinking wine, but eating alone and angry. The four male and one female worker talking about what to do are contrasted with the four homeless "rabble" and one whore.
