- Mabel Normand seemed to attract trouble. Her life was often seen as an early Hollywood tragedy but in 1918, she was at the top of the world with the highest grossing movie of the year and the highest grossing film produced by a woman.
A legendary comedic actor in front of the camera and a pivotal figure behind the camera, today on Journey Through Cinema, we take a look back at the history of this silent icon.
Just a few words. An excellent video, concise and to the point, but with a fair amount of detail too. Somehow, Mabel has been under my radar my entire life, so thanks for filling in a gap in my knowledge. Surprised you don't have more subscribers, as this is the fourth video of yours I've enjoyed, and all are well made. Nice to see someone not being annoyingly "wacky" in an effort to appeal to the masses. Hopefully people will be drawn in by your Acolyte demolition, as I was, and that they'll stick around, subscribe, and enjoy your other content.
Funny: Sennet's Keystone Studio created the Keystone Kops.
Love this video. Really good expose on it. As for the plot and tropes in Mickey, I think it's only retroactively an overdone. Yes it was following a formulaic outline popular in its time but The film's uniqueness has also been repeated And referred to for many years afterwards.
True. A lot of elements were retroactively overdone, but by this point the “rags to riches” story was one of the most popular story types in Hollywood. As covered even by other videos on this channel, it really appealed to young female audiences, especially those living the tough life of the 1910’s. Thanks so much for watching!
@@ajourneythroughcinema1271 It makes sense. The trope was also incredibly popular in serialized Victorian literature 20 years prior.
