So like the relationship between D.W. Griffith and every other filmmaker. Reminder that Griffith did everything first and best. You're all reddit-tier plebs who know nothing of cinema.

griffith, as good as he was, was prehistoric compared to the vision of ridley. to him 'exodus: gods and kings' would be utterly ineffable in concept.
it's not disparaging to griffith to say this but his art's been surpassed. he proved that film is objectively the perfect medium, but it's wrong to say his art is unsurpassed because cinema has grown. scott's exodus is a forerunning proof of this.
Angel Gonzalez
Griffith did sound for a feature in 1921 with Dream Street.
Isaiah Davis

Chase Allen
Griffith already did Exodus
Isaiah Bennett
your response says nothing other than that you haven't seen/didn't understand ridley's exodus
Alexander Davis
As an artform, cinema peaked with Exodus: Gods and Kings.

Yes, it is.

I wonder how PUNQ's wife reacts when he watches every old movie ever made so he can find the first ever nigger babies scene in cinema
Jackson Edwards
funnily enough, film only became a medium unto itself (that is, free from the elements of theater, photography and literature) after Griffiths, when the foundations for film were problematized in the post-war avant-garde cinema
Parker Bennett
this is not casual
Lucas Robinson
I wonder how PUNQ's wife reacts when she wakes up in bed with her nose in the smelly ass of one of his nigger babies

You clearly don't know anything about Griffith past the 10's. pic-related. lbg exposed for not knowing anything about film not on TSPDT
Cimino is a faggot that crushed Griffith's studio singlehandedly. Ridley Scott is literally a commercial director (he started making commercials), and Gone With the Wind is incredible but epics were already perfected in the 20's. get better taste tsar
Kevin Cruz
Thanks bud.
Adam Morgan

Angel Barnes
the studio was crushed by producers who didn't even allow the public to see the greatest american film since gwtw - if you dislike cimino you are somehow missing his unique artistry
ridley, oh no he makes commercial films, he even made literal tv adverts! literally anti-art! he's still the only person putting his own money and reputation on the line (has produced pretty much everything he's done since gladiator) as often as he can afford to in order to make the only modern epics like exodus, gladiator, even prometheus, some of which are, to a certain extent, are passion projects people ACTUALLY think the director of blade runner is a hack, seriously never fails to make me laugh. you think that that total coming together of visuals, themes, and sound was a fluke? amazing
Blake Stewart
there might as well not be a difference at this point
it's parody vs. self-parody
Leo Ortiz
Might want to actually click the link instead of just taking screen shots of it. The chronophone came before the phono-kinema. Dream Street wasn't even the first film to use the latter.
Christopher Nelson
zoopraxiscope is the the superior medium and the only reason it didn't take off is because Jews in Edison's employ crushed it. Look it up!

If D.W. Griffith had had his way all black characters were played by whites in blackface and no niggerbabies, where would PUNQ be then with no niggerbabbies to fap too
Nolan Gonzalez
Are you really implying that any filmmaker has ever made an exact copy of a Griffith film or any other film? It's literally impossible. You are the thickest person ever.

and there you have it objectively the greatest film ever made
we do not need film, we will need art for another hundred years because of miami vice
Julian Lopez

raising awareness about miami vice, even here, is genuinely fulfilling. i want nothing more than for it to be recognised as the greatest film ever made, and i believe it will be eventually.
i've been changing my life, and this film is why i still care about cinema; it is life, it is the ultimate artistic success along with mad men and the tribe.
>Under the agreement – signed with the Institute Kanoon (Institut iranien pour le Développement Intellectuel des Enfants et des Adolescents), MK2 will restore the 20 films of Kiarostami in 4K. Among the acquired titles are “Where is My Friend’s Home,””And Life Goes On” and “The Traveler,” Kiarostami’s first feature film.
>Some of the acquired titles include films that mostly unknown, as well as 14 short- and medium-length films, notably his very first film, “The Bread and Alley,” which came out in 1970.
Thanks to whoever had this movie in their favorites here. This was pure fucking kino.

you should check out Teshigahara's other collaborations with Abe too, if you liked that - Pitfall, The Face of Another (my personal favorite), The Man Without a Map, and Ako (a short film, but still very good)
