The 7 Samurai were a lot of fun

dr caligari and nosferatu are straight trash, Lang came through with the only movie that made the movement worthwhile (metropolis) but otherwise it was lame as shit theatre garbage that had no place in cinema

>>84261902

This, also trip to the moon.

Nosferatu has decidedly /modern/ pacing and cutting between narrative spaces, all going on at once. Early filmmakers and theorists were skeptical that audiences would be able to understand a simultanaety of events so shown and depicted, all cut-cut-cut from one place to the next.

>>84262093
I'd excuse your ignorance but it wasn't even the first avant garde film movement in Germany. It was effectively the same as what the futurists were doing in Italy a decade prior only without the social consciousness. Look up the works of cinéma pur and you'll realise why german expressionism wasn't beneficial to film as an artistic medium. Nosferatu and Caligari were no better than the horror films being produced in America at the same time but had xD so randum backgrounds.

No but in all earnestness, all that was accomplished in the set and costume design in german expressionism had already been showcased in futurist cinema a decade prior in such a way that actually served a narrative function. The only reason the legacy of expressionism still remains is because many expressionist directors emigrated to the States during the two wars and massively influenced the films produced there during the 1930s-50s. It is just another example of Hollywood-centrism in film critique. This is perfectly exemplified in our own discussion because the only films we've mentioned also happened to be directed by people who would also work in Hollywood in the 1930s (Lang, Weine, Murnau). I'm being hyperbolic by saying the whole movement is trash but the cultural relevance and quality of the films in german expressionism has been massively inflated to further perpetuate this notion of Hollywood as the greatest producers of films.

>but the cultural relevance and quality of the films in german expressionism has been massively inflated to further perpetuate this notion of Hollywood as the greatest producers of films.
Or you know, because it was a highly creative period of the Weimar republic not just in cinema but in other arts as well.

>>84262590
You could think that or, as I've said, you could acknowledge it was derivative of the futurists and overshadowed by other more compelling avant-garde movements occurring in France and Germany itself during the same period. You do you family, there's no point trying to reason when you ignore all the rationale in my post and just skip straight to the conclusion

>>84262668
afaik the futurists weren't interested in exaggerated emotional responses which is what expressionism is all about

incredible shot, it makes you appreciate where critics were coming when they rejected sound films during this period, a lot of the most impressive aspects of cinema came as a direct result of the limitation of silent cinema.

Hound of the Baskervilles (1959)

Ironically, also had Peter Cushing in it. Have seen older films but being born in the 20th century really did make it hard to enjoy them

>>84262693
On the contrary, futurism came about as a result of the sudden shift towards industrialisation and modernisation in Italy from 1880-1910. The intention of the photography and films was to reflect the public consciousness of the world rapidly moving beyond them and the perception of our consciousness becoming one with technology. Very interesting shit, these are themes explored in the stories of the few futurist films that were made, unfortunately very few remain (IIRC only one). To an extent I agree with you that, as the name suggests, the expressionist movement utilised set and costume design to express emotion, but arguably both movements used set and costume design as an extension of the characters' consciousness, only futurism came first.

Whoa there kiddos, I think you moseyed into the wrong thread. Now do you know the way out or do you need my boot to move you in the right direction?

If you can't name at least 3 1930's films that you enjoy then you shouldn't post here. I mean it. Even millions of little kids today have watched Snow White and Wizard of Oz. This shouldn't be difficult unless you absolutely have no brain whatsoever.
