Are any movies from 1920 worth watching? No. Do people still watch them anyway for a sense of superiority? Yes. The choice is yours, but the only thing you're going to get out of it is the ability to say "I read Ulysses," and try to impress people who will ultimately not care.

Woah what a coincidence the photographer caught her right about to finish the end :^)

penelope would have probably had the most resonance with good ol moroe don't you know

>Are any movies from 1920 worth watching? No.

Low quality bait and a terrible point to use for comparison, seeing as film is still such a new medium. The earliest recorded myths are still worth reading, let alone our first novels.

She's at the part where Molly contemplates giving up her body fluids to Bloom.

There aren't that many wildly praised films from the 1920s you retarded frogposter, of course his list is going to match up

>>9823814
ya dude, it's fun as fuck

>>9823814
Hell no.

And this is coming from someone who loves Joyce. His inaccessible stuff is just difficult for no reason. Joyce was an asshole.

>>9824385
He only wrote two worthwhile books and they're the epitome of inaccessible and both are fun as fuck

>this is coming from someone who loves Joyce
What for? His shitty poetry? His ONE book of short stories that are too self-important to have a proper point?

>>9824148
The General
Sherlock Jr.
Steamboat Bill Jr.
Our Hospitality
Seven Chances

Oh and that's just one filmmaker.

A portrait is great. Dubliners is great. Ulysses is fun, but only if you're a masochist. Wake is drunken babbling. The poetry shouldn't ever be mentioned.

>>9823814
No, it's pretentious bullshit. Experimentation for the sake of itself, great modernist innovation bla bla but the style just doesn't stand the test of time. Skip it and proceed to the proper classics like Proust or the russians. They didn't write weirdly to impress you as a reader, but just brilliant and skillfully.

>A portrait is great
It's like a sketch for a novel (which it is)
>Dubliners is great
It's alright
> Ulysses is fun, but only if you're a masochist
Reading, especially since the late 1800s, always includes an element of masochism. If it's not hard then it's hardly worth it.
>Wake is drunken babbling
Wake is the ultimate pleb filter, and it's fun as fuck.

>>9824416
>Portrait is like a sketch of a novel
Except it's not, and it's also a great masterpiece. When did this board become infested with redditors that don't even understand literature?

>>9823997
orphans of the storm is one of the greatest films ever made. kys dilletante

this shit writes itself

>>9824148
Well I can name 5 good silent films, I'm not sure if all of them are strictly 20's, but theyre all from around 1912-1929 or so

The Gold Rush
Shoulder Arms
Metropolis
The Inferno
The Genera

Also thisl>>9824121

>>9823814

Anyone imputing mythical significance to this novel is dead wrong. Joyce is a supreme ironist. This novel is about being a cuckhold, nothing more, nothing less.

>>9824148
A Page of Madness
Sunrise
The Circus
3 Bad Men
The Docks of New York

>he's this retarded
I never even said anything about Finnegans Wake and Ullysses, which are both masterpieces. I was just insulting the anon for his garbage opinion on Portrait. But the real joke here is your reading comprehension.

You shouldn't discard the main part of the argument to focus on marginalia if you didn't want to be misunderstood, stooge.

>>9823814
Yeah, but only if you like ruining other literature for yourself. The man had a knack for showing one something not easy to find elsewhere.

If you want to participate in a discussion, then yes, you should go back three measly posts and read them, you lazy fuck. Don't try to give me that 4chan knowhow when you're the one posting like you just crashed through the ceiling yelling "EVERYONE'S RETARDED EXCEPT ME"
