The mission of /lbg/ is to promote the intelligent discussion of film as art by providing members with opportunities for intellectual discussion, by recognizing patrician taste through examinations and by calling out embryos as they arise.

Yikes
People that like filmmakers like Tsai Ming-Liang, Jia Zhang-ke, and Hou Hsiao-hsien can't watch films from the 1910's because they can't associate and self-insert with people 100 years ago let alone watch pure visuals for hours in silence.
People that tend to like shit "directed" by Bela Tarr and Apichatpong Weerasethakul have never seen anything by DW Griffeth, Erich von Stroheim, or Michael Curtiz.
Or James Cruze. Most likely less than 100 silent films

Got an academic source for why Griffeth is shit?
>>84032461
>DW Griffeth, Erich von Stroheim, or Michael Curtiz, the list goes on!
The hallmarks of the tasteless and the uninitiated. It's okay if you're just getting into the medium, but there are some (even here, on a so called ''film'' board) that actually believe they are cultured or have a snippet of taste because they like these films, when in actuality they are nothing more than embarrassing cringeworthy copy/paste babbies with no opinion on the medium they claim to love whatsoever.
For a cinephile like myself, it is truly disgusting to watch, and the main reason I, and many others, steer far away from this pit of despair and depravity.

It's true /lbg/ is a redditor parallel dimmension. /tv/ hates Hitchcock
>>84033531
Ah, shit, I had a brain fart, Edgar Neville didn't make silent movies. The thing about silents in Spain is that the industry never got big here, and most of the shit (an 80% or so) that was is basically destroyed thanks to the good will of francoist thugs. Not much spanish silent film is there; luckily Chomon worked in France.
>>84033682
I've been checking out some of Chomon's stuff, it's very primitive stuff but probably good for the era. He apparently worked in Cabiria and Napoleon, which is pretty impressive.

I need an answer right now on why this no-smiling faggot is so praised. He was literally just a stuntman. He didn't even direct most of his own stuff like Chaplin. And he barely had the technique of clouding the frame like Harold Lloyd. His schtick was already done in the 10's and Douglas Fairbanks was a better stuntman. Do people only give him props because he was the least grossing of his time? He only made 1 truly funny flick and that's the one where he is trying to commit suicide but fails every time.
>>84034076
The real question is where are you guys hanging out.
>>84034198
>all this obsession with canon
Would you prefer that I started with the lesser-known ones?

>I pick Jean Renoir because he's foreign so he must be better!
No, faggot. Griffeth already did everything Renoir did, he even admitted it in his biography and they consistently talked during his time in Hollywood while Griffeth was still alive. Jean Renoir is merely the continuation of Griffeth further into the sound age. And Stroheim is Griffeth to the extremes. But nobody replaces Griffeth. Scrap everybody else. Just watch Griffeth and you're done. over 500 works. There.

Notice I put Griffeth first in that sentence and you pick Jean Renoir. I don't even understand how you could even watch Intolerance and have any intention of watching any other "canonized" shit. It's all there. It's considered the greatest film by anybody worth a damn. Putting fucking Buster Keaton 80+ places above it goes to show how much the niggers have won.

There's something about seeing most of the movies mentioned in this thread that pisses me off.
If you're going to pretend to be patrician, you'd post silent pictures since they're the superior medium
Real superior medium
>With the exception of City Lights, the list does not contain any films of the early silent era. The reason is that Tarkovsky saw film as an art as only a relatively recent phenomenon, with the early film-making forming only a prelude.
How will megaautist ever recover?
>>84037869
I must admit that I viscerally hated Tarkovsky's "Nostalgia" and completely hated the use of Beethoven in it. I've seen it only once, but none of the Tarkovsky films that I have seen did I think are really good.

I despise the "staring out windows with dull expression" aesthetic. It has an air of empty pretension that unnerves me to the core.
There is nothing real or relative of the human condition to it. It takes no skill or craft. This is what makes Griffeth a colossus. He could balance introspection with comedy and tragedy and near plotlessness all in a perfect tune with a mastery of all techniques he pioneered. Griffeth is the window to life.

Reminder that found footage films were invented by an Italian trash director
found footage films are a new thing that was never done in the silent era
>>84038342
You need to clarify what you mean by "found footage" here. If you mean films containing actual newsreel footage of battlefields then that was done by Griffith in the 10s.
>>84038393
I don't mean that, I mean the same definition as in the last thread where it was brought up
>Found footage is a subgenre in films in which all or a substantial part of a fictional film is presented as if it were discovered film or video recordings. The events on screen are typically seen through the camera of one or more of the characters involved, often accompanied by their real-time off-camera commentary.

That isn't a technique. It's an irrelevant subgenre. Griffeth literally invented shaky cam
And shaky cam in the silent era took skill since the cameras were heavy as opposed to your little 8mm toys
I'm leaving now to do some rails while watching Catcus Flower for the zillionth time. See ya, plebs!

What people mean when they say David Wark Griffeth was outdated or "shit" is that they're not accustomed to good cinematography. He was a pioneer and master of the tableau style of cinematography. He constructed images worthy of being hung on a wall. Hardly something that can be claimed for much anybody else

/tv/ can suck the shit out of my asshole
it's an anti-art board. /lbg/ and its member are the warriors of authenticity, fighting against hordes of /v/edditors and crossposters
Why do people hate the Oscars when they've consistently awarded great movies since the beginning. I don't think Oscarbait become a thing until the mid-80s as a scapegoat for Hollywood selling the fuck out and not feeling bad in the process.
>>84039894
Can you fucking read nigger >>84038434 it says subgenre
>>84039263
can you put https for the mobile guys please
>>84039919
/lbg/ is pure reddit cancer. you have to go back. and no Hitchcock is not fucking art, criterionfaggot
I wonder what megaautist will do when Criterion adds DW Griffith films
>>84040053
why are you acting so rude?
>>84040053
>Hitchcock is popular because of Criterion
This is why t/v/edditor apes truly believe.
>>84039973
I dont personally hate the oscars but i hate that they are considered the most prestigious award.
I dont want to start a political debate but the Oscars clearly has a motive now with its nominations to a certain degree especially after the oscarssowhite bullshit protests.
You're right that oscarbait is relatively recent but its still a problem and it will never go away. I wouldnt say there is such a thing as Cannesbait or Golden Bearbait ya know? Thats because these awards prioritize film first, politics second. Now if you were to say the same types of fillmmakers submit their films to these festivals i guess thats right, but at least you can say that they do it for film and not for the award.
>>84040110
That will never happen. Criterion specializes in garbage. They barely have any silent films
>>84039368
>>84039611
but can tell me what do you think about it?
I'd like to see megaautist debating Sally "Sassy" Jane Black.

The ending seems kind of weak, yeah. There's this buildup to a showdown between Cherry and Matt that never happens. I think they must have filmed it and it was edited out for some reason.
>>84039973
they gave the oscar to di caprio because the memes

SJB: *insert personal anecdote about watching some movie*
megaturd: "griffith made it first" *google screencap*
SJB: accusations of transphobia and racism
there you have it
>>84040163
disagree with that Criterion specializes in garbage.
Also Die Nibelungen is the fucking PEAK of silent film and they have it.
But Criterion will never add Griffith because they dont want to attract the ire of SJW's.
Can you fucking imagine the shitstorm? Criterion would add Birth of a Nation and lefty twitter would blast them for racism, then they would dig a little deeper and see that there are far more male directors represented, and of those very few are black or whatever.
They wont care about Criterions efforts to include non straight white men anyway because nothing is ever good enough for them.
Soon after calling yourself a film buff will be synonymous with racism the same way calling yourself a gamer is to sexism after gamergate.

You tell them to watch sunplays instead then show them Griffeth and nothing else because nothing else matters

They won't. Criterion is a lifestyle choice for them. You are what you buy.
