in what ways is Vertovs man with a movie camera a city symphony?

What constitutes a city symphony is sort of experimental documentary that presents a portrait of daily life within a city whilst attempting to capture something of the city's spirit, and are influenced by the form and structure of a musical symphony. City symphony is a product of constructivism which in turn is a product of modernism and expressionism. in man with a movie camera it is Vertov uses constructivism which is the belief that art should reflect the modern industrial world. Sergei einstein Vertov was described by Sergei Eisenstein as a 'film hooligan' as he uses unusual techniques labelled as 'unmotivated camera mischief', meaning without any purpose other than being experimental. The constructivist view of Vertov means he would believe that the modern Russians should reject creating art forms based on the past (mainly capitalist Russia), as it stems from the rise of communism in Russia. This is why he wants to depict the fall of the Bolshoi Theatre to the spectators, as watching theatre was the normality of the bourgeoisie, therefore it's associated it with the upper-class.
