1930s films are the worst because they are basically filmed plays

no, reddit, watch more films

And besides, they're fucking pathetic in their understanding of human interactions.

>All this pretentious faggots pretending Gone with the Wind, Wizard of Oz and Disney kino weren't clearly the iconic films of the 30s

Old movies set the conventions of how human interactions are displayed on screen.

And thank God it has been subverted, deconstructed and forgotten in nearly all cases excluding the random super ironical film here and there. I would probably stop watching films if I was living in 30s and had to stomach that crap.

You've seen, maximum, 30 films from the thirties.

I wish I had seen less.

...

But everyone already knows about those films, people wanna discover new shit.
