Modern Examples of Montage

In order to increase my understanding of Eisenstein's methods of montage, I went on a hunt to find some more modern-day montage examples. I'll admit that I had a lot of trouble discerning the different types of montages, so don't be surprised it I got the completely wrong idea from the reading! Feel free to correct me if you think these examples aren't correct.

This is probably a stretch, but I think the following video featuring Upular, a remix of the movie Up by Australian DJ Pogo is an example of metric montage, because the clips are cut at specific beats (especially around 1:45), regardless of how much information is given by the video, so the viewer is barely able to discern what's happening.

The getaway scene from Drive seemed like an appropriate use of rhythmic montage, which as I understand it, allows for visual continuity. The editing follows every movement of the getaway car so that the viewer feels like the passenger during the course of the chase.

The final scene from the Boy in the Striped Pyjamas was an example of tonal montage; from the reading, it seemed like a tonal montage was used to evoke specific emotions from the viewers. In this example, the setting turns from sunny to torrential, the colors dim from the green backyard of a German family to a dark, damp gas chamber of a concentration camp, people quickly begin to become frantic and panicked, and all the elements build up to an explosively powerful ending that leaves the viewer in an intense state of heartbreak. 

The ending of the Usual Suspects was an example of overtonal montage. From the clip I saw of Mother, where the ice in the streets alludes to the ending of the film, I thought that overtonal meant using small clips of a seemingly innocuous object to almost foreshadow its deeper meaning later on in the film. In a way, The Usual Suspects used this method in the ending scene of the film, where they added up clips of all the "meaningless" objects in the detective's room to create a profound ending.

Finally, an example of intellectual montage was the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the main character is shown as an old, dying man, who eventually passes away and is rebirthed as a baby floating above the Earth. In my opinion, this was meant to show that a person can only experience the limitlessness of ultimate reality through death.

Again, I don't know if I interpreted the reading correctly, but I certainly don't find any harm in at least trying to make sense of it on my own!
