Postmodern montage inherits Brechtian and Eisensteinian pedagogical aims

Evidence

How new forms of montage in film are to be related to a pedagogy that stimulates thinking and prods the spectator out of some merely immanent contemplation of visual images is not merely the classical problem of an Eisenstein or a Brecht but also the more immediate and contemporary space in which Godard’s films desperately and far more problematically wrestle with that heritage; that Godard had “ideas” no less theoretical than Brecht or Eisenstein, ideas about consumer society and Maoist politics which it was the task of the film somehow to convey, seems undeniable. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 437
