Now that you mention it, it would be very interesting to edit a wedding
video using Eisenstein's principles. Is the bride thesis or anti-thesis?
The father of the bride presents anti-thesis-- he glowers at the groom
waiting at the front. The groom is thesis. Cut back and forth until
the bride reaches the front: synthesis, which gives rise to a new
anti-thesis, as the maid of honor casts a sidelong glance at the best
man... the antsy child in the front row vs. the elderly aunt... the
choir director vs. the organist, and so on....
