      Griffith’s powerful shot juxtapositions suggested to theSoviet filmmakers and theoreticians that editing was the foundation offilm art.
      1. The soviets took a lot of inspiration from the editing style of griffith in a brave new world which was considered the heart of the art form to Eisenstein. I think there exactly right. The ultimate advantage of film compared to theatre or the advantage of pre-made vs live production is that the director, artist, painter, etc. get to choose exactly what you see and don't, and thats what editing is all about

      “What diabolical mechanism lies hidden inthis art that I serve!” he wrote. “It’s not merely a cheat and a swindle.It’s poison—a dreadful, terrifying poison. For, if you can get your en-joyment through fantasy, who is going to make the effort any more tofind in real experiences what can be had without moving from the the-atre seat?”7
      1. I think the critic differentiates " real" and "artistic" for the similar reasons Eisenstein dislikes theatre for the needs of the soviet union. Just as theatre is a poison that can break the revolutionary spirits of the people, purely "artistic" do not derive the same feeling as a "real" showing of the feeling the people have put on film
