I think its interesting to note that silent films persisted in Japan longer than they did in the US because they had these people called benshi. Benshi narrated movies to the audience and the benshi themselves became celebrities in their own way. Like people would go to specific theaters to see a movie narrated by well known benshi. Because of this different kind of filmgoing experience, silent film's popularity lasted longer there

Sure, stupid. Not all "family" films have to have singing animals or happy endings. Grave of the Fireflies is a thoughtful film with two children as protagonists with whom a child audience can identify. Parents could watch the film with their children and talk after about what happens in the story. Parents could use the film to help their children understand that bad things can happen to anyone, how to empathize, and that being sad is okay. The earlier a child learns these things, the better adults they'll be, more compassionate, more nuanced in understanding the world around them, and less quick to judge.

I know all countries cannot be covered but I feel many forget the influence Mexican Cinema had during their golden era from 1936-1956, during this time many Mexican films and directors reached internacional recognition. While other countries were busy in world wars. Mexican Cinema was pumping out musical films, film noir, comedies and horror films. Using outside cinematic influences to create their own style. In fact the Academy awards oscar statue is said to be designed after famed golden era Mexican director Emilio Fernandez. Read: MORA, Carl J. Mexican Cinema: Reflections of a Society, 1896-2004, Berkeley: University of California Press, 3rd edition 2005.

4:28 The following "fun fact" is actually incorrect. L'entrée d'un train en Gare (the frech title of the film) did not actually scare the audience out of their seats, since film projections were a thing for about a year in Paris; everyone knew this was not real. Journalists at the time simply wanted to make this story to something that physically moved the audience, obviously stretching the reality of a simple screening to the current reputation of the short. You can define the term "Yellow Journalism" for these extreme depictions of actual facts, the original FAKE NEWS.

Hey, loved the video, subscribed! One thing though -- I think by downplaying The Birth of a Nation and not specifically mentioning what happens within the film, you do a bit of a disservice to the history of film and its deep roots in racism. I don't think that's what you were going for but it is worth mentioning in a video that covers cinema history imo, rather than just skipping over its most pernicious aspects. Still, great vid!

i feel like most information regarding Birth of a Nation's very vile politics goes without saying at this point. it's one of the few givens in film appreciation academia: citizen kane good, new hollywood exists, don't forget the french new wave and similar art film movements internationally, watch pasolini films at your own risk, and the first big american blockbuster definitely restarted the kkk and made them look respectable to the point where lawyers and doctors signed up. people often tend to focus a bit too much on its political aftereffects - which need discussing in order to understand how propaganda works - and ignore its artistic aftereffects (it combined all of the innovations of pioneer-days hollywood into one feature-length package, plus it really went in with the idea of "you can relate to an epic" that went into later epics; it was the first film to use outside songs in its score) that helped contribute to why its political aftereffects were so potent (the film looks good and makes you relate so hard to Lillian Gish's character when she jumps off a cliff just so she can avoid one of them black people D.W. Griffith seems to think about too much that you're goaded into cheering for the goddamn Klan riding into town - as Roger Ebert said in his Great Movies essay, and I'm paraphrasing, "it argues for evil very persuasively").

Personally I think the period from the 1970's to the early 1990's marks Hollywood's greatest period. I know I'm biased, being born in 1986, but I absolutely love those first few decades of blockbuster filmmaking. The concepts of most high budget blockbustes of the era were pure audience pandering (aliens, robots, dinosaurs, ect) BUT the mindest of financers and producers ate the time genuinly seemed to be that the artists themselves knew best on how to deliver on those concepts. This gave us high-flying, fantastical, high-concept movies that nevertheless had artistic ambition and reflected the personality of the individual directors, scrip-writers, ect. E.T, the original Star Wars trilogy, Ghostbusters, the Back to the Future trilogy, Blade Runner, the first two Terminator films, Jurassic Park ect... they all existed in that sweet spot between the studios need to make money and the artists own tastes. Come the mid 90's however blockbuster films became gradually safer and less colored by individual artistic visions, and also the increased use of CGI often became sort of a crutch to compensate for lackluster stories. Tere were still of course also still artistically driven blockbusters even thoughout the 00's, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But by the 2010's for the most part blockbuster filmmaking no longer had much to do with art, and the movies' content were dictated not so much by writers and directors but by producers, executives, financers and focus groups. So now we are swamped by thse bland, artistically interchangable movies, possibly best examplified by the MCU. Only a few directors in Hollywood are still essentially given a blank check to do whatever they please even when making ultra-expensive mastodon movies and can thus make their individual visions come true, such as Christopher Noland and Quentin Tarantino. These directors for one reason or another are still treated by studios the way most directors were treated by studios 35 years ago; the studios asuming that these artistis knows what will make for a good and thus popular movie better than the studios knows. But when the day comes when these auteurs' makes a movie or two that flops, even these last of the "exception to the rule" blockbuster directors will have to play by the common, corporatized rules.
