Faust (1926) shows you how far we have fell as a species and civilization,>no need for obnoxious dialogue every 2 seconds>no need for CGI for ridiculous action scenes>no need for the last ultra-advanced camera nor the perfect lightning>no need for 4 billion dollar budget>no need for 10,000 workersGives you primordial fear, your blood memory remembers the apex predator from an dark forgotten era.I swear, when I was young I thought the actors of the 1920s were exaggerating about the "death of cinema and art" when sound became the standard, now that I've been comparing silent films with sound films, I agree with those actors, they were prophets.PD: ofc there are sound films that are pure Kino, but don't give the same feels that Faust.
>>216036466I appreciate you spamming this cool image. Gonna watch this kino today
Reminds me of that weird ass scene with the devil from Fantasia. Fantasia was kind of a silent film with musical accompaniment though
>>216036481Your welcome and spoiler: you will love it.>>216036504Thanks for the reminder anon, I must rewatch it again. Also, Chernabog should pass his gym routine.
>>216036466There's a theatrical quality here.
>>216036504Yes, Night on Bald Mountain. Really great animation. The music was metal as fuck as well.
two words: BO RING
>>216036466Oh my chud, what a terrible post. Why don't you pull up some "blood memories" of getting raped, you ostentatious clown.
>>216036735We need more silent / theatrical / 1920s-30s Kino threads.
>>216037272Why? Do you have anything interesting to say about it? OP sure doesn't.
>>216036799>metal as fuckDie.
Watched it last week. Stunning. Any other silent kino recommendations?
>>216037487Golem, 1920
>>216037516I only know this movie from the Simpsons parody
>>216037516>Golem, 1920Thank you. I'll look into it.Also watched The Phantom of the Opera and really enjoyed it. The stark contrast of light and shadows, the sets, the tone. Stunning.
>>216036466Just shut the fuck up already about Faust (1926)
>>216037574>*slowly tips hat*
>>216037551It's a movie about you.
>>216037551Kek, I looked it up because it was mentioned in Mad Men. Probably was a big deal for boomer screenwriter curriculum or something.>>216037557Yeah, that's how I started into silent films, only eurokino, dunno where to start with american silent ones.
>>216037487>picrel Film?
>>216037302Well, you asked to OP (me) and I want more threads so people can give me more recommendations and also to ragebait at the current slop era.
>>216037811>t. pleb who thinks he's a patrician
At any rate, watch Napoleon (1927)
>>216037858Problem, barbarian?
>>216037946OP here, I wish anon, sadly my country is USA's colony and has a cultural (Kino) embargo, so everytime I try to watch something in TV I have to suffer 24/7 current yanki slop.Sometimes there is a miracle and a random Kino appears (like Faust).
>>216038012Well in the meantime, enjoy this pretentious video essayhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh1_HLDdahY
>>216037787The Thing
>>216038072Thanks a lot, anon.
>>216038134Thanks.
>>216037487The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari for the peak of German ExpressionismMenilmontant (haunting, darkly poetic French kino)Earth (Impressionistic Soviet kino, isn't very preoccupied with montage like other russians)Sherlock Jr., Steamboat Bill Jr., The Cameraman, The General, Seven Chances, etc. (comedies starred and directed by Buster Keaton, a good option to get into silent films in general)The Passion of Joan of Arc (very mesmerizing scenes)
>>216037356It was though. You can hear the same dissonant chords that lots of metal, especially black metal uses. Metal as fuck lil bro!
>>216038642Thank you, anon.
>>216036799>The music was metal as fuck as well.heh, somebody's already thought about it toohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouXgOpRXaME
bump
>>216037487Haxan
>>216037487Die Nibelung
>>216036466OP has seen the light, based and redpilled.
>>216037516This movie is actually a prequel. The first movie been destroyed
>>216036799kino
>>216036466Nah, I don't watch movies with subtitles.
>>216036466>swear, when I was young I thought the actors of the 1920s were exaggerating about the "death of cinema and art" when sound became the standard, now that I've been comparing silent films with sound filmsThere's a German Noir crime book series where one of the villains is a lunatic film director who murders actresses and cuts out their vocal cords because he's going insane about silent cinema dying lol
>>216041078retard alert
>>216037487>IntoleranceThe story if there is one isn't interesting. But i like it for the magnificent set pieces.
>>216036466Did you know the main actor plays both young and old Faust ? The audio score on the DVD really elevates the movie
>>216041102Alright fine, i'll watch it at 2x speed grandpa
>>216036466Beaultiful looking movie in the first 20 minutes or so, then it became a lame, boring story and the devil became a joke character.I feel as if I could edit the begining a bit, by cutting a bunch of stuff out, make the pacing BETTER and post it on youtube
>>216036466Murnau and Lang mog all other moviesTalkies are fucking cucked
>>216036466How could one describe such a face?
>>216041080I need a name for that book.Are you sure there is no film based on it? The sinopsis sounds familiar.>>216041162>>216042611Thanks, anons.
>>216037213i was raped my entire life
