Don't post DW Griffith's muse without my permission.

Why can't Viktor Seastrom make a shot like this with Lilian Gish?
He had over 10 years.
Brayden Russell
This film is anything but conventional. It Le different, unique and pays off in the end. In an age of horror films that rely on jump scares and less than mediocre plots, Get Out comes along with an interesting plot and great acting.
Lincoln Rodriguez
Instead he can only do wide-eyed hooliganism like this
Justin Brooks
Whereas with Griffith she was reserved and stately
Bentley Morales

New to Letterboxd. Logged 600 films, just the ones that came up while browsing the log of films. What do I do now? I'd like to completely index the movies I've seen, is there any easier way to do it?
Isaiah Reed
no one is disagreeing with you
Noah Ward
Log new films as you watch them and include the date.
Lucas Martinez
Why did Amaranth and Altarwise give Intolerance 3 stars then? And gave Viktor Seastrom flicks 5? Seastrom's flicks in the 10's were adaptations. Griffith had no script when he made Intolerance. It's the greatest film ever made. Everything about film is in it. It was the cinematic equivalent of Ulysses before Ulysses was even written.
Amaranth also gave 3 stars to Borzage's Lucky Star. Borzage's pictures have some of the greatest control of mise-en-scene in all of silent film. They also have the longest takes as well.
Cabiria doesn't have a single closeup. No flashbacks, and doesn't have 4 separate stories spread across several centuries only linked by the theme of intolerance and the motif of a woman rocking a cradle that all collide together in the climax. Cuts in Intolerance transcend centuries whereas Cabiria lacks crosscutting altogether. Cabiria also has far more intertitles than Intolerance or any of DW Griffith's films released in 1914 for that matter
Kevin Hill
Cabiria is only noted for being an Italian epic with huge sets and slight camera movement. The content and form is vastly trumped by all of DW Griffith's works. For one, Intolerance actually features social realism with The Mother and the Law segment which was expanded for a 1919 release.
Isaiah Reed
du lac>borzage
Adrian Lee
my director > your director
Henry Jackson
No. Name a good French filmmaker next time. The French already love Borzage.
If no one is disagreeing with me, then explain these falsified attempts to one-up me from plebs that half-read Wikipedia.

how do my recent additions look ?

Also just watched Videodrome thanks to a Sup Forums thread about it.

What was the first feature-length art film, /lbg/?
A film that exceeds 70 minutes, isn't an adaptation, features social realism, and emphasizes innovation in form and concentration on ideas over standard plot progression.
Henry Miller
well desu those two posts came after my post claiming no one was disagreeing with you, and even those replies aren't disagreeing with you on the swedish director's and griffith's acting involving gish
i don't think the cabiria post was disagreeing with you, just curious as to why you'd post a video featuring cabiria and intolerance, since you hate the former
whatevs, all love
Jaxon Diaz
I posted the video to show Orson Welles admitting he stole everything from Intolerance and DW Griffith.

DW Griffith had no script and crosscuts across centuries linked together by a single theme and motif. Try better next time.

The Discovery is probably the best Netflix Original feature.
Whiplash is great, Damien Chazelle makes inspirational films for creatives. Someone said earlier that they're like football films in the way that they're inspirational to a very specific group of people.

What is it with the Griffith fag all of a sudden. Not that I mind its actually nice that someone is talking about actual films. What is his best film?
There are no bests. Every single one was ahead of everyone else by decades
Start with Judith of Bethulia and work up chronologically.
Joseph White
DW Griffith will not be erased from history!
He will be remembered!
Nolan Wright
Haha, that was my favorite Cameron film.

I cannot help. I already own the near-entirety of Griffith's filmography.
Watch A House Divided from 1931 and tell me what you think of it, unknown poster.

Watch 2 Days in New York from 2012 and tell me what you think about it, unknown poster.

I love it but I haven't posted about it in a long time so I'm probably not who you're looking for.
Is it a special event or is it just a rep cinema screening it for fun?

Jacob Cook
Why do I keep seeing Umbrellas of Chebourg every time in these threads for the past few months? Over and over and over and over it's either being rated or watched on somebody's profile every time they post.
Watch an actually good musical. Like pic-related. Why don't they show or remaster this?
