Pre-60s movies were basically just theatre and most of them were just afwul. There are obviously some exceptions, but film as an art form had yet to mature. Almost of the best actors of the period had any interest in doing film or especially television. There were some legends like John Barrymore that eventually ended up in movies, but that was long after he'd destroyed most of his credibility and he was often visibly drunk on set. Almost everything from the 30s and 40s was absolute garbage because nobody took film seriously. Fight me.

There's nothing wrong with "theatre", whatever that really means. Film was more than mature enough in the 50s, see: Hitchcock for American cinema, etc, and also many foreign directors, e.g. Bergman. Although I can't speak for earlier on like you mention, but nonetheless classics like It's a Wonderful Life and Citizen Kane stand out as worthwhile even by today's standards.

I agree, I definitely think the 60s was the best decade for Japanese cinema, though the 50s would be second. Dunno what the fuck happened, I mean I love anime but they really dropped the ball on cinema since then. Though Kitano is great when he feels like it.

And as far as contemporary film goes, Korean, Hong Kong, and Taiwanese film are far superior to Japanese (Joon-ho, Kar-wai, and Edward Yang/Ang Lee come to mind, respectively). Hirokazu Koreeda is pretty much the only worthwhile practicing filmmaker in Japan, excluding anime directors who direct live action (e.g. Anno). As it happens to be, anime is in fact more worthwhile in terms of artistic merit than Japanese film. Very sad state - please don't post Japanese cinema again, it's an embarrassment.

Because it means you are new to cinema since you are clearly just inside the gates, meanwhile others are much further in, they feel superior to you, and rightly so.

Not him but a lot of those posts are the equivalent of picking a Kon or Ghibli film when prodded for a favorite anime.

Are you kidding me? Ang Lee is one of the biggest foreign directors in Hollywood. You may have heard of his films such as Brokeback Mountain, or even from Hulk (yes, the directed capeshit). But his Taiwanese/Chinese films are also fantastic; I recommend "Eat Drink Man Woman", and "Lust, Caution".
And as far as Edward Yang goes, he's passed on, but not before directing one of the greatest generational epics ever depicted on screen, pic related, as well as Yi Yi, both of which are essential Taiwanese-core. We had multiple threads on /tv/ when A Brighter Summer Day was finally released in good print by Criterion.

>Pre-60s movies were basically just theatre

>what is French Poetic realism?
>what is Italian neorealism?
>who are Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock (a. k. a. the American protomodernists)?

Actually there are loads of Italian films from before 1960 that I love now that I think about it. Ossessione, La terra trema, Roma citta' aperta... the list goes on

>>87786948
Sort of valid complaint but most of the films that are praised today and remembered from this period aren't just theatre. I mean you had the Futurists already making this complaint in the 1910s/20s and advocating for a cinematic movement which stood as its own art-form. But Italian neorealism had its heyday before 1960 and is certainly not just theatre on screen
