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
That's a really cool trivia! It reminds me of some african countries were it's popular that a guy narrates the movie in the theatre. For example "Who killed captain Alex" ruclips.net/video/KEoGrbKAyKE/видео.html

there's this idea people have nowadays that you should protect children from their negative emotions, this idea is absolutely damaging to them, pain helps them grow and emotionally mature, overprotection will only make their lives harder as immature adults.
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 don't want to be THAT person, but in the '60s and '70s, there was a movement in Brazil called Cinema Novo (New Cinema). It was inspired by the french new wave and Italian neorealism. Glauber Rocha is the most famous director of the movement, and Martin Scorsese seems to be a great fan of his.
What person? In what way is your comment anything but helpful? South American cinema is an unknown quantity in the US, and it's my guess that there's a lot to love.
@@Stratmanable, I was just kind of joking, because in every video on the internet there's always someone like: ''you forgot to mention these'', ''how didn't you talk about that''... but you are right, South American cinema doesn't get heaf the attention it deserves.
@@Stratmanable Thanks for the information, I will look into this. For anyone interested I would also recommend films from the Czech new wave, as there are some superb films from that period.
I might follow up with a Part 2 later this year to go over the films, technologies, and film movements from the 80s to the 2020's. I hope that you all enjoyed this video and 2021 will be the Year of Kino! Here is the list of every film I mentioned or showed in the video: letterboxd.com/thekinocorner/list/the-beginners-guide-to-cinema/ Also, You can watch a lot of these movies I talked about on the Criterion Channel. I'm not paid by them. I just really love their service.
This is such a well produced and entertaining first looks at this industry. I’ve just been getting into film, and this was an awesome first introduction. I hope you blow up, your videos are phenomenal.
I've never seen a movie before, but after this video I feel I have enough knowledge to 5 star every Marvel movie ever on Letterboxd and tell Ralph Sepe, Jr. how little he knows about film. I can't wait to bore all my friends by telling them about how Europe chose a different frame rate than the common one because they couldn't figure out multiplication. Movies suck and I hate them.
@@nazauwu6431 why doesn't he know anything about film? I fell like you're just saying this to be cool and edgy, showing you're a real cinephile unlike ralph.
Great video, thanks for your work. As a Polish I'd also recommend Polish Film School movement (Andrzej Wajda's "Ashes and diamonds", Wojciech Has's "How to be loved", Andrzej Munk's "Passenger", Jerzy Kawalerowicz's "Night train" - that's for starters) and Cinema of moral anxiety (Krzysztof Kieślowski's "Camera Buff", Agnieszka Holland's "Provincial Actors", Krzysztof Zanussi's "Camouflage" and Andrzej Wajda's "Man of marble")
Another amazing video. Really puts into perspective how confined a typical moviegoer’s view of cinema as a whole is. Going to make it my goal to watch all of these movies (even though it might take a while).
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.
Also Iranian cinema, Chinese cinema, Brazilian cinema, Spanish cinema, Polish cinema, even British cinema... not mentioned. Some very odd global traditions not to talk about, while still including Aussie cinema.
man oh man what a great start-up for the beginners in the cinema I mean what can I say you said it all. thank you for sharing with us your great knowledge.
this is great, but i would love it even more if you put in a subtitle track with the titles of the films you're showing on screen so we could more easily do our homework
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.
Yeah it is a bit of a myth though I'm sure there must have been at least 1 or 2 people who did react like that! I heard one about an audience worried they'd get wet after watching a film of waves at a beach too!
Heaven’s Gate’s critical reception “tepid”? Vincent Canby in the New Yorker: “An unqualified disaster.” Pauline Kael in The New Yorker: “While watching the film it was easy to see what to cut.

my favorite directors as of now are Noah baumbach, Edgar Wright, Robert Eggers, Steve McQueen, David Lowery, Damien Chazelle, David Fincher, John Kraskinski, Matt Reeves, Coen brothers, and Wes Anderson/Christopher Nolan/Jordan Peele
love your videos man, I don't have too many friends that are into cinema as much as me, but the ones that are I always share your vids with! you deserve way more recognition, brother. plz keep up the amazing work!!!
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.
A really good and concise video. Got more than a few films to check out from it - especially from the French New Wave. One thing I was curious about was the choice of Easy Rider and not Bonnie & Clyde or The Graduate as the film that heralded the American New Wave.
I think the history of film is super interesting and I really really enjoy film now. But I enjoy modern movies more, where the visuals and audio are pretty good. I do enjoy a lot of older movies from the 70s and up, But I’ve never watched citizen Kane or most the movies you mentioned in the video. Maybe someday something will spark my interest and throw me down the rabbit hole.
My beginning to cinema was through Nolan,Tarantino,Coppola, and Scorsese. Right now I’ve been watching Kubrick, and in the future I’ll see more kurosara (already saw seven samurai) ozu,Yang,kon and anno
No one actually thought they would be hit by a train it's a historic hyperbole to describe the feeling of being in the room and a testament to the power of illusion.
I know you said you can’t watch 10 movies to be a buff, which is true, but here is my list of what that 10 might be to see the evolution of cinema over time 1. Citizen Kane 2. Psycho 3. The Godfather 4. Goodfellas 5. Schindlers List 6. Pulp Fiction 7. Shawshank Redemption 8. The Matrix 9. The Dark Knight 10. Parasite
I woke up today tied to a chair with this video playing on repeat. Someone please send help there is a man in the corner mumbling, “it’s gonna be kino”
Even as a big movie collector myself, this video was really interesting! (Although i wished the world tour part would've touched on canadian films, since some of the best movies were made there)
On the past, we drew the line at some point on moral issues. WE do that same thing at a different point, thus making very apparent that censorship will always exist. Be vigilant and reassess your own values whenever possible.
I thought weird that when you hit WW2, you recommended movies about WW2 rather than movies produced during WW2 which is what you were doing for time periods up until then.
Pity you did not mention the film maker 'Abel Gance' and his film "Napoleon" which he made many improvements to filming techniques still used to this day.
Great video, really interesting, however I think I would be remiss if I didn't point out you didn't mention Night of the Living Dead and George Romero's work, which basically created the archetype of what we would call a zombie, apart from it being a great film, it also had a big cultural impact extending beyond movies
I go out of my way to watch movies that I don't think I would like due to the fact that I want to be surprised and when they blow me out of the water they really do
I hope you have a filmfreeway account and are on your way to submitting some of your videos into some festival for documentary short subject categories, or episodic categories. Your videos are great stories, plain and simple.
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").
Exactly !!!it's like we are dumb and will be swayed by it ..by downplaying its importance , he indirectly underestimate our intelligence ....understanding it's importance in terms of arts and it's relationship with politics is different than celebrating it ...we should not celebrate such movies but definately understand them

I hope you have a filmfreeway account and are on your way to submitting some of your videos into some festival for documentary short subject categories, or episodic categories. Your videos are great stories, plain and simple.
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!
Lol k redditor
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").
Exactly !!!it's like we are dumb and will be swayed by it ..by downplaying its importance , he indirectly underestimate our intelligence ....understanding it's importance in terms of arts and it's relationship with politics is different than celebrating it ...we should not celebrate such movies but definately understand them
AMAZING! you are GREAT.
