[@samaval9920]

Cakewalk ( the normal version-see all the other Cakewalk videos) was USs 1st dance song music export.

Amo Ver filmes antigos tem mais cultura que até as criança pode assistir é diferente de hoje em dia

[@PrAlexandreGraciano]

Entretanto, esse vídeo em específico, deveria ser proibido para crianças... Reparou, principalmente nos últimos momentos? Navalha no olho... Na verdade, não o filme em si, embora seja uma mensagem de uma certa "festa" inferno... Mas os segundos após o "Fim", que eu gostaria de ressaltar.

This was produced & starred in by George Melies, French pioneer film director.He is considered to be the founder of French cinema, He may have met or known Charlie Chaplin?

أين تعيش هذه المخلوقات

[@gonzaloramosdelaguila5177]

Here's the reason why they considered Cakewalk diabolic.

[@susankinney1302]

It’s pretty interesting in a history of film vein. How did they do those FX back then? I enjoyed the music as well, but the “black face” characters made me quezie.

[@aburninglandfillofbadmovie2930]

Georges Melies (director) was a trained world elite stage magician, thats how he did quite a few of his FX.

[@samaval9920]

Blackface was no doubt due to popularity of faux US African American dance music song, in W (& ?) Europe, N & S America, early 1800s th lmid? 1900s Al Jolson wsh US too blackface singer actor, even in b & w (& 1 or 2 color ?) films, Absurdly, s late as 1960s Taiwan Province of China had a Chinese Al Jolson imitator-- blackface, faux US African American songs like Swanee, Mammie, etc. Oi ve!! ( famous E Euro Jewish exclamation of problem or crisis often used in humor.)

[@susankinney1302]

@@samaval9920 I understand it was a sign of the times, and I am not saying we should avoid these films. From an historical perspective they are very informative. Still, it makes me uneasy to see it.

[@samaval9920]

There were probably critics at that time- N S Caribbean etc African background people- there are no doubt denunciations from WEB DuBois, Aime Césaire, Léopold Senghor, Joséphine Baker etc.?

[@samaval9920]

⁠@@susankinney1302Thé colonial slavery govs & businesses sort of started different color face performances, as they often let Africans & Indigenous peoples social political safety valve when they could dress up like wealthy white W Euros, at 1st in critical satirical way, later ordinary way. Events included Carnaval, Christmas?. every Sunday, etc. started in 17?00s. At 1st, agricultural landowners, makers let oppressed slaves & servants satirize them, later, landowners, bankers, mfgersetc. satirized oppressed & exploited slaves later ex slaves ( no doubt any & all non Euros & E Euros?)
