From what I have heard everybody had a lot of fun making this movie and were pulling pranks and everything else. They were apparently rather shocked to see the end result themselves.

Pasolini's trilogy of life "Decameron" "Canterbury Tales" and "Arabian Nights" are worth exploring. Bawdy humour and high drama mingle side by side. They preceded "Salo."

I’ve watched this film a handful of times but I was still super invested in your commentary! Excited to see more of your videos

omg ray , being a bengali myself he is epitome of film understanding .

The relationships may not be fully accurate in portrayal of the human condition, but the movie keeps to its themes really well and tells this story beautifully.

Martha was one of my favorite characters from the 1993 film. She was everybody's source of positivity, even Medlock's in the end. This Martha is so off-putting.

Anne Bancroft? This scene is all Yootha Joyce. Get your title right.

Great reaction!!

I just wanted to ask if someone knows the name of the song thats starts playing in his video at 3:44? Where is like a party or something(Sory if i have mistakes in writing)

I'll tell you what's weird: YOU blocking all the good bits with a video box of your face so that we can't see Jane Asher circa 1970 (that is, she's about 24 years old here) in the buff. You bastard! (And I know I speak for A LOT of people when I say that). Huh! You're crying at the end? Yeah, so are we, you bastard...!!! In other words: get out of the way, and let's see it, you censorius rube! Damn. I say no more...! end

I reccomend Bertolucci's "1900". It has similar themes to this film in what horrible things facist, powerful people can do.

He has the balls to do this

I didn’t blink either during the strobe lol

This guy's narration is so off-putting - quite silly emotional reactions to the story, and the social / sexual mores of the time. At times OTT camp (nothing wrong with that in the right context) then suddenly rather prim outburst at the sex, then ogling of human activity. Cartoon inserts, and repetitive vocals lessened this viewer's experience. Why speak what we can see? I enjoyed his filmic technique observations however

Thanks. You were quite informative.

Also, you mention the element of doppelgangers really freaks you out? Well, the little girl in the very beginning looks almost exactly like me when I was that age. But not only that, the background with the bridge looks just like where I lived at that same age!! Minus all the trees.

Thank god I'm not the only one who was traumatized by the aliens in Mars Attacks. Everyone always makes fun of me for that. That and ET. Xenomorphs are fun tho.

Wonderful film. According to Olivia de Havilland, Ralph Richardson was continually doing upstaging actions such as fussing with his gloves which forced de Havilland to counter with a tions of her own. Miriam Hopkins was in more William Wyler films than any other actress, starting as a leading lady and now doing supporting roles. She was not universally beloved in Hollywood. The heart of the film for me is Selena Royale as Austen's sister and consciene : it is she who tells him that he has distorted the memory of his wife until he has created an inhuman vision no one could compete with, least of all Catherine. A detail not included from the source material was that Austen had a double loss : there was a son, an older brother to Catherine, and that both his wife and son died, and he blamed Catherine and her birth for both deaths.

Well, that’s a real “what the F?” Give me Sergio Leone always or Marion Bava sometimes. As far as the director of this? Did he have a sense of humor ? Because you’ve probably all been trolled.

Polly Shang Kwan?

Jet Li was in The Shaolin Temple(1979). Hsu Feng acted in a film called "Shaolin Temple".

King Hu did some acting in Kingdom and the Beauty(1959).

Another old masterpiece has turned up, and it's by Sternberg? No shock there. Reminds me of lots of John Ford's earlier work. Bravo!

I am tryinng to find a digital copy --so far dead ends. I am trying to watch all the movies that I rememer seeing trailers/ads/comercials of..and while I was 8 when this came out, I saw tons of pg/r movies --it was a great time to be a kid, and a kid in NY. Imagine if people saw a couple of little girls watching anythign unattended much less smoking cigarettes in the theater --regardless, this is the last of all the 70s movies that revolve around theater or ballet that i have not seen. It might just have to get a blu ray

4:00 - I am not sure what I think of your contempt for these "gross" heterosexual men leering at 'chalk drawings' of naked women... You disparage them with the term 'apex of masculinity' and 'getting hard' (you claim) viewing those images. I imagine in a time when pornography was not so readily available and sailors had been at sea some time (!) any iteration of the female body might have been welcome. I realise your distaste for these men is coupled with them being working class as well. I think it is all very well for you as an educated, feminine gay man (from what I observe of you in this particular video - this is my first time on this channel - I may be wrong) to take this stance - but I also think any kind of hatred for people being who they are - whether as depicted in 1928 or today is very unhelpful to the serious, tolerant discussion of sexual and gender politics.

Главная ошибка... Смотреть Вий днем, посмотрите его ночью, он вам уже не кажется таким уж забавным.

Technicolor is well-known for its super saturated reds and greens. Technicolor surpasses today’s film stocks in its depth and richness of color.

This movie tried so hard to read between the lines of The Secret Garden novel that they hallucinated a whole new story from it 💀

Von Sternberg was born Jonas Sternberg in Austria and emigrated to the US at age 7. So no need to call him "Yosef"

You forget to praise the cinematographer. Von Sternberg may I have conceived of the look of the film, and the individual shots, but the cinematographer probably had a great deal of creative input, and made it happen.

Yeah man, Sternberg is one of the greats

It would be fun to see if the guys at Rifftrax would have a crack at riffing LND. 🤔🤭 Though I feel very sad about Christine's death at the end, there are some parts that are riffable. 🙂

Thanks. Going to watch it now. Just watched Cavalcade (1933) it was truly amazing.

I totally agree with Lillian Gish, silent film was a universal art form. By the end of the era the acting style was no longer over- exaggerated, nor was the music. The studio-produced musical soundtrack was a nice touch since most small theatres could not even afford as skilled organist. One thing that is lost is the use of different colored lights shone on the screen during the various scenes. The acting, the color and the music must have made these films an immersive event. I enjoyed your commentary. I would prefer to watch the film first (alone) and then watch your commentary -- As excellent as it is. Enjoyed your review. Subscribed.

I just came across and totally subscribed, fellow UA-camr here by the way. I'm an Iranian-American my friend and I'm currently inside of Iran right now specifically the capitol city of Tehran. Iran unfortunately has been an ultra conservative hard line Shia Islamic society for the past forty six years following the 1979 Islamic inspired revolution lead by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini which resulted in the ousting of the western friendly monarch of King MohammadReza Shah Pahlavi and his family into exile in North Africa, where the monarch himself passed away the following year in 1980 from cancer etc. Civil and human rights especially for that of women along with freedom of expression are totally non existent here within Iran unfortunately. I'm all for change here in Iran rest assure now you have my word on that , but the last thing we need right now is a full blown conflict! because god forbid we end up going down that route Iran will just end up becoming another Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Libya and a lot of Iranian blood would end up getting spilled at the end of the day. Back in 2015 the U.S and the U.K along with their closest of allies signed a landmark agreement with longtime adversary Iran. This agreement became to be known as the P5+1 nuclear disarmament agreement, the core objective of this agreement was to completely cut off any potential access Tehran might have towards obtaining, accessing and developing lethal nuclear weapons in exchange for the easing of crippling economic sanctions imposed upon the country at the time. Pending success of the agreement the Obama administration at the time promised to return $150 billion worth of Iranian assets that had been sitting frozen since the 1979 Islamic inspired revolution that resulted in the ousting of the western friendly monarchy of King MohammadReza Pahlavi and his family into exile in North Africa, where just like I said a few paragraphs subsequently passed away from cancer the following year in 1980. Thankfully the agreement was a success and Iran was rightfully returned their money as promised, as a matter of fact Iran was intending on suing the U.S in order to get their money back. Fast forward. The previous U.S administration in my personnel opinion made an unbelievably foolish decision to withdraw from the working P5+1 agreement signed with Iran back in 2015. This foolish move played right into the hands of the Iranian hard liners who where against any sort of agreement from the start, along with far right extremist elements within neighbouring regional adversaries Israel and Wahhabist Saudi Arabia who where all and still are very much determined to go to war for any reason in order to achieve regional superiority at Iran's expense no matter. Subsequently regional chaos would ensue, well it kind of already did now! and on top of that to make matters considerably worse Tehran would have every excuse under the sun to resume enriching their uranium resources all over again. In my personal opinion the previous U.S President along with his Son-InLaw who is a close personnel friend of the criminally indicated far-right Israeli Prime Minister and his Secretary of State are all primarily to blame for the destruction of this working agreement that was entirely to ours and our closest allies advantage. The former Secretary of State made matters considerably worse with his totally illegal and unmerited imposing of economic sanctions which aren't hurting the intended targets that being the politicians, but ordinary citizens who have no nothing to do with the decisions and crimes of their government now etc. Israel's far-right government is responsible for intentionally violating the sovereignty of third party nation Syria by bombing the annex of the Iranian embassy located in Damascus Syria which subsequently resulted in the deaths of three senior Iranian government officials etc. This was entirely the far-right government of Israel's doing and what they wanted all along and they got a reaction alright. Iran was fully within it's legal rights to respond and defend itself since it's diplomatic property located upon the soil of a sovereign third party nation was intentionally targeted and destroyed subsequently resulting in the deaths of three senior government officials etc, if anything this was an official declaration of war. This isn't a defence of the Iranian regime now, oh no they're totally indefensible. However with that being said I don't recall Iran intentionally violating the sovereignty of third party neighbouring nations though. However I do very much recall the U.S and Israel doing exactly that on many occasions though. If anything the world's largest creators and sponsors of terrorism are the U.S and Israel, just watch the latest news the headlines pretty much speak for themself! The U.S and Israel really don't help themselves sometimes, they create mass resentment and radicalisation. Don't believe everything you hear and read in the western press about Iran and Iranians now! take it from me. With regards to the topic of this video. Mashhad is Iran's second largest city and it's considered a holy site of pilgrimage in Shia Islam with the city being home to Iman Reza shrine. The city is 50/50, what I'm trying to say is half are religious conservatives, half are not. Mashhad geographically is close to the border with Afghanistan where Opium production is rampant and has often lead to many clashes between Iranian border security and the Taliban. As I stated earlier many paragraphs above, civil and human rights especially for that of women along with freedom of expression within Iran are totally non existent unfortunately. Further to my point. There is a specialist police force here known as the morality police who are responsible for enforcing Iran's hard line ultra conservative government's policy of strict Islamic Sharia law etc. Women have been required by law here for the past forty six years now unfortunately to totally cover up in public spaces through the use of a headscarf known as chador, fail to comply with this draconian law often tends to result in fines, imprisonment or in the worse case scenario death. Internet access is also heavily restricted here to the extent sites we take for granted in the democratic west are filtered, so in order to gain access to them here the population tends to acquire something known as a "vpn" aka virtual private network etc. There are so many heartbreaking cases I could share with you concerning Iranian women but I'll save all of that for another day though. Other than that this movie was an excellent yet very accurate depiction of the events that took place in the west of this country during the millennium etc. There was nothing remotely "religious" about what Hanaei did, he was nothing but a seriously twisted and backwards absolute freaking psycho. By the way this case might be of some interest to you, the first ever documented Iranian born serial killer was a guy nicknamed "Asghar the murderer" who operated in Iran and Iraq during the 1900's and 1920's until his execution in the 1930's etc.

The final days of silents is when they were doing their best work, trying desperately to keep the genre alive- which they rightly considered an art form. Some kept on making silents, with varied success. Charlie Chaplin was one of them.Note the sound in this silent- it was made after 1926 so a sound-track was available. The Noir element was present in the literature of the day, too: Journey To The End Of The Night and Death On Credit by Celine. Death on Credit has a lot of parallels in the silent film industry.

Very interesting. Your insights are rich!

An incredible movie. The greatest silent films match or surpass anything else ever made, and this is one of them. Thanks for the love on this one.

Sternberg was certainly one of the world's greatest directors. No one was his equal in the use light and shadow, I was fortunate to see all his films with Dietrich on a big screen here in NYC, an experience I will never forget.

Самый великий фильм по моему мнению...

Really amazing for the equipment they had back then.

That’s THE ONLY CONCERN THIS FAR. AND YOU JUST DID IT!

Sorry, [von] Sternberg was born in... VIENNA (AUSTRIA, definitely not Germany). And his father migrated to America as Jozef was still a young teenager; so he got his US citizenship as an adult. Being perfectly fluent in both English and German, worldwide star Emil Jannings (who happened to have already been working under his direction in Hwood) suggested his name to the head of the renown "Ufa" studio, as being the right experienced filmmaker that would bring the recent sound technique to Germany by directing the first talkie ever shot over there, THE BLUE ANGEL, starring Jannings again... plus debutante Marlene Dietrich. And Marlene clearly followed her pygmalion on his way back to California. Therefore, it's not correct to say [von] Sternberg was a 'German' artist hired by the Dream Factory. Not at all the same situation as Lubtisch's or Curtiz's (Kertesz) or Murnau's, who were literally head-hunted by the Dream Factory in the 1920s -- nor did he belong either to the next more massive immigration wave of German-speaking guys who'd been creating the stunning classics of the Expressionist cinema during the Weimar Republic....before having no other option than crossing the Atlantic in order to save their lives from the Nazi regime. [Von] Sternberg was just an American director, who'd left his native Vienna at age 11 circa, when his Austrian family migrated to the US around 1905.

It's not quite right to call Sternberg a "German" director. He was born in Austria and emigrated with his family to the US as a child. They moved back to Austria but returned to the US when he was a teenager and his entire early film career was in the US. He only made his first film in Europe after he was already established as a film maker in the US. So I'd say it's fair to call him an American director. Though his most famous film "The Blue Angel" was made in Germany, it's his only German film and the only major film he made outside the US.

Another silent masterpiece is Gore Vidor’s The Crowd’. The photography and storyline are both beautiful. Check it out

Amazing!!! I’m making my way throughout all of this channel and absolutely love your openness and passion towards films. Can’t wait to dive into this one! 😄
