1999 was an AMAZING year for movies The Matrix, Fight Club, The Green Mile, Eyes Wide Shut, The Sixth Sense, American Beauty, The Blair Witch Project, Toy Story 2, The Straight Story, Tarzan etc.

So you work in libraries, so you know, then that you put you take bids.On who wants to sell you the cabinets?For the cheapest price you don't go on websites like wayfair

That makes no sense whatsoever first off plenty of websites, when it's out of stock. It says it's out of stock. Then you get on a waiting list to buy. When it comes back in the stock they don't super high list it. I do this all the time with Amazon. When there's something I want to buy.

I saw darth maul fight and had to click

70's hardcore porn had many exploitation films, "Appointment With Agony " (1976) and "Forced Entry" (1972) were two classics of the genre.

very cool lecture

I know this is just a glance of exploitation cinema but you should atleast try to discuss the term ”exploitation” more. Also it’s such a shame that you don’t bring up the japanese pinku-violence movies but you warned about it in the beginning atleast. Wasn’t a fan of how you favorised and criticised other movies. The importance is understanding them, not liking them.

The fact that Sharon Tate was in the first valley of the dolls definitely adds to it

I always think that exploitation is everything that media puts out.. EVERYTHING!!! Media wise Like The Sound of Music movie.. Nazis trying to kill kids Star Wars father trying to kill son if he won't join his evil ways.. The list is every movie ever made it you see it that way

Thank you for this biography . Setsuko Hara is one of my favourite actresses of all time. Tokyo Story and Late Spring are both masterpieces. My take on the early reitrement is after Ozu died she felt that her biggest conncetion to her work was gone and therefore no reason to continue.

the movie "Audition" should come with a warning!!! I was traumatized for days!

I think exploitation can be seen more as like the adolescent phase of the development of the film medium. there are films that float in and out of this definition but is part of the process of defining genres, and might be furthest from art but has an emphasis on making money and figuring out what people like. in my opinion it may have peaked in development of the 80s where the formula of a movie as a roller coaster ride comes into maturity (and apparently gets forgotten again at some point)

This must be a dope library! Haha. Thx for the vid!!

😂

Eyyda? Kamono?

Japeiiiiynnn?

Always loved the story of this team. Thank you for this.

Very interesting fact that you pointed out. Sequestering the servants, basically making them invisible in the home, really says a lot. Like you said, things got done, but it’s almost as if the owners of the estates wanted to believe in their mind that things just magically happened, The meals got magically cooked. The rooms got magically cleaned. This way they didn’t have to feel beholden to the servants. Great video!

He was born June 18th, not 14th.

Don't bother watching North. It is crap. The only thing I will say about it is it contains the film debut of Scarlett Johannsen.

Great talk Liz.

this needs ti go viral

I need to see this video hit over 1K views

Liz, if you're truly going to talk about performers of classic Hollywood, be mindful of the word, "starlet". The performers you mentioned were stars. Starlets were actresses signed to contracts that studios believed to have the charisma and talent to become tars of their own films. The performers you profile were headliners, "stars", not starlets.

One of his first bit parts was in Hallelujah Trail, as a typesetter, who knows everything about a temperance marcher. One of his later films where he stole most of the scenes he was in was Crossfire Trail. If you haven't guessed I was a fan.

Great message…..you did an awesome job

That was AMAZING! 😅😎

This is a riot!

This is fantastic Great job... hahahahaha

Brilliant!!!

You skipped the British exploitation movies. For those who don't know, during the 60's, we had Hammer and the Carry On movies (comedies that starred a group of rep actors in numerous films, Carry On Cowboy, Carry On Constable, Carry on Doctor, Carry on Screaming, etc.) But by the early 70's both Hammer and the Carry On had started including a little bit of bare flesh. T&A. This lead to a whole slew of terrible British sex comedies. Confessions of a Window Cleaner, Confessions of a Taxi Driver, Adventures of a Private Eye, The Amorous Milkman. There were lots of them. Mostly unfunny and unsexy. (Unless you were a teenage boy, at the time, as I was). However, they did help bring about the Feminist debate to the surface. Were these films liberating and revolutionary (as the actresses claimed), in up-tight Britain, or insulting and demeaning, as feminists claimed? They certainly lead to more nudity on British TV, and slowly helped loosen up the British a little bit. Of course, in these woke times, Victorian values seem to once again have a strangle hold on British film and Television.

59:01 akk, Stark - who refused Federal subjugation- would roll in his grave being compared with Lincoln, the worst president in US history, who abolished state sovereignty and massacred more of his own countrymen than ever before or since

You guys have done a good job of covering a big name in the Japanese cinema and even world cinema that doesn't have a good in depth documentries like Toshiro Mifune.

The guy sitting at the Trapezium desk where popular in the 80's in my school days.

日本のガルボという言い方は賛成できないな。むしろ、ガルボはスクリーンテストを受けているし。 原節子（Setsuko Hara)は、小津が長生きすれば女優をやっていたと思う。彼女も、そのつもりでいたようだ。 こういう番組をつくってくれて感謝している。

How is this just now being served in my recommendations? I'm pretty sure KZbin/Google is aware I'm both from Derry and watch a lot of media analysis/discussion videos. I can't wait to go through this channel!

Okay, good, even-handed overview from someone with an affinity for the form. I would add that Mario Bava is probably the godfather of Italian exploitation, and a superb cinematographer/director. Mostly but not exclusively horror: titles of interest include Black Sunday, Blood and Black Lace, Danger:Diabolik, Twitch of the Death Nerve, Lisa and the Devil, etc. Also, when Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert were wrote the first draft of the screenplay for Beyond the Valley, the Manson murders had happened, but no one knew who did it. It was something at the forefront of everyone in Hollywood's mind. Sharon Tate had also been in the original Valley of the Dolls. And BVD is basically a satire of how divorced from reality Hollywood had become at the time. It would have been very difficult, and kind of dishonest, for them not to comment on the murders in some way. I would also add Michael Weldon's original Psychotronic Encyclopedia as a must own for fans of fringe filmmaking. There are some inaccuracies due to the fact that it was written in 1983-- a time when very little of this stuff was even on VHS. But the writing is sharp and funny, and it really shaped my own perspective on these films.

Wow, great video! Thanks :)

I have watched Tokyo Story many many times and will never get tired of watching it.

What a co-incidence. I am watching my first Ozu movie, newly discovered [everybody's heard of Kirosawa and others, but not Ozu as much]. Early Summer. I am madly in love with Ms. Hara's character and this amazing film. I had no idea she had that kind of stature, looking forward to your presentation.

This was a very well articulated analysis and biography. Thank you for making this. I can't get enough of Setsuko Hara. And you're right, Grave of the Fireflies was a tearjerker. Great example of how great anime can be though. Would be great if you did a documentary like this on Satoshi Kon's films

apparently she visited Hollywood and was shown around by Marlene Dietrich

In Late Spring Noriko"s father pretends to have a girlfriend in order to push her to get married

My first American born ❤grandpa So proud and his personality traits sound so familiar 😊

Excellent video 🇺🇸👍🏼

Many thanks for this rare but essential documentary. Could you do one for the other great Japanese actress Takamine Hideko (who you briefly mention) star of Naruse's films?
