The greatest film of the last 100 years is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This should have the reputation that Citizen Kane does, and even came out two years before it (1939 vs 1941)If it's not Snow White, then what can it possibly be? Snow White does so many things at once.>invents a new artform and perfects it at the same time>mass entertainment and commercial success>critically acclaimedI am probably the only actual film historian on /film/ (I have done several audio commentaries including on early Gaumont releases). The live action canon gravely underrates the history of animation and believes it to be a subset of cinema, hence, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs lack of presence on Sight & Sound.You would be gravely mistaken if you believe animation is for babies. Even a film like Who Frames Roger Rabbit (this would land in my top 25) is more important than films like Citizen Kane and The Godfather. Then there is Vertigo and 2001, films that are only important due to the John Whitney and Douglas Trumbull special effects, but then even Silent Running is more important in that regard.Sometimes I wonder how Eisenstein would have reacted if he lived to see films like Tron or Nintendo Entertainment System videogames like Metroid, Boy and His Blob and Myst, which present a simulation with free will.

>>214731878Was she sitting on the foot board there?
>>214732255No. Glad I could help. If you have any other questions about the picture in the OP, let me know, and I'll answer it to the best of my ability.

>>214731878What do you mean "important?" Is that just your word for good? Because you're criticizing a lot of great movies that were far more than just their visual effects and saying that they were only good ("important," to use your word) because of their visual quality. Great movies are far more than colors on a screen. I'm not saying Snow White isn't good but you sound like an idiot, so I don't really take your criteria seriously.
>>214731878For me it's The Wizard of Oz. It's so unique.
>>214731878can someone edit it so that there are wojaks at the end of the bed?
>>214731878I don’t agree, I think it’s The Wizard of Oz, but you do have a solid argument for your case.
>>214731878You're not saying why it's good, just that you don't value writing.
>>214732713The argument is "writing doesn't matter, the way it looks matters." Really solid argument there.
>>214731878>Even a film like Who Frames Roger Rabbit (this would land in my top 25) is more important than films like Citizen Kane and The Godfather.Drop that list, king.
They're lining up to smell her feet, right?
>>214731878I could make just as good an argument for why Cheeky (2000) is the most important film of all time.
>>214731878Einseinstein put Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as #1 on his personal list of best movies ever
>>214731878>Greatest film of the last 100 years is a Disney flickLol. No.
>>214731878You talk like a Tarkovsky cultist.
>>214733414you talk like a faggot. a gay faggot with a big dick bulging out of his throat and a pair of hairy balls greased with sweat resting on his chin.
>>214733384you're damn right it is faggot
>>214731878Snow White didn't invent animation.
>>214731878I saw it in theater rerelease when I was like seven or so. That part at the end where the witch is trying to roll the rock down on the dwarves scared the absolute shit out of me.*I'LL CRUSH YOUR BONES**AHHHH HOLY FUCK GUYS SHE MEANS IT GET OUT OF THE WAY*
>>214732675>>214732724>>214732750Prepare for the canon as we know it to change now that we are past the 20th century, all your Citizen Kane, Vertigo, and 2001 will morph into Tron, Star Wars, Blade Runner, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Wizard of Oz, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.Now that we have hindsight, we know that the history of special effects is the history of cinema. The critics of the 20th century made a fatal flaw. They came to believe that cinema is akin to the european painting tradition, they expected cinema to be full of esoteric meaning and cultural importance. The truth is that a special effects extravaganza like Twister is more historically important than The Godfather because it pushes forward special effects. Yes, even Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin are high artists compared to a pretentious Orson Welles Shakespeare adaptation.
