Fantastic. I've just watched a colourised version of the dance and then found this. What a woman and so sensual! A fine actress. Thank you for the narration.
I suppose the preservation methods brought this back to it's original crispness. I wish somebody would save the old Dobie Gillis episodes. I'm glad they were able to enhance old movies with the technology we have today thank goodness for this technology and people like this technology we now have and for the channeler's posting this for us. Maybe you can they can use the same technology to bring back the crispiness of dobie gillis..this evening I just saw some episodes of dobie gillis. And they look horrible. They look like some old VCR tapes I have played hundreds of times. I never knew dobie gillis had a crewcut and blonde hair is head look like it was flaming like an aura of Church icon
Wow, for a film made in 1910 that dancing is outrageous! She's a fabulous mover, she'd give a lot of today's film stars a run for their money, and how nice that she was a well adjusted, deep-down good woman. Lovely!
Always so happy to see celluloid, so much has been lost from the early years and what survives now is priceless inho. I am so happy there are good folks digitalizing and safe keeping these gems of history.
Another thing unmentioned is that in that ere Ladies wore more undergarments to hide their true figure , their every curve and that dress in the dance scene was skin-tight . That alone was near scandalous , being scantily clad .

Thank you so much! This video's interesting content, the excerpts from the original film, and superb narration work together to create a really impressive result.
We can actually be grateful to the sensors that the Gaucho scene survived intact in good quality. At the time of the movie´s release, that scene was cut or in very bad state in later screenings. Fortunately, a clean cut version was found in Sweden, and is the best preserved part of the movie. In her biography which she wrote during the 1940s, she told of how she was invited to dine with Hitler. Hitler praised her work as an actress and how she was an inspiration to all. He said that he could spend hours giving speeches whereas all she had to do was to make a single gesture, and all would understand her. Asta replied saying, "Oh, you mean this gesture...?", giving a Nazi salute. Hitler was not amused. Goebbels tried to persuade her to make films for UFA giving her artistic freedom, but she declined because of restriction to Jewish film makers and actors. She was in no way forced.
@@michaelspraggins5419 Oh, dear. The haters of the 'grammar police' will come for you, so my senses tell me. 😉😊 (Your knot aloud* to correct anyone these daze*. Humpty Dumpty rules.)
Asta Nielsen was a true "free spirit" in the best sense of that expression. That dance is high-voltage eroticism without cheapness or vulgarity. A woman way ahead of her time! Thank you for posting this. Her's is one name I won't forget.
I encourage everyone, if you have media from before 1930, upload it to YT or another site of your choice. Many of these medias, are lost or are missing big portions or are significantly damaged, that's why it's essential they get put on the internet. Who knows, you may be uploading something that's the only copy in the world or the only known full length copy.
Your channel is really awesome! Great insights into the history and developments of film production. I watched all ten of the videos you have posted so far and am quite impressed. Your narrative inspires one to look these films up and watch them. I look forward to more. Thanks for the education. Keep up the good work!!!
You mentioned an important aspect of film making, shooting of dance sequences. This has been a lost realization in Musicals filmed in the last 20 years, particular for television film Musicals. One that comes to mind is the TV version of THE MUSIC MAN starring Mathew Broderick, who obviously was not a dancer. The Director of Photography avoided showing him dancing in Long Shot clearly as means of disguising this. Too often the framing is in Medium and Close-Up Shots instead of showing the dancing. The audience needs to see the entire body of the dancer(s) with particular attention to their feet. So much of the storytelling and performance in dance is with the entire body. You do not get that in Medium Shots.
This is my first time enjoying your UA-cam channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
Be serious. This dance is a standing lap dance. If a girl really likes you, she's going to do some type of body gyration on top of your body and around it. Yes, this clothed dance scene is mild by current rating film standards, but the suggestions in the body movement even today will make many country rating services for film entertainment to protest that the dance remains too sexually suggestive to display on the screen. I really think this film would have a difficult time passing the Hays Code for film rating passed in 1934.
Just watched this video and the one done on the Kelly Gang: both are very, very good, so you've got another subscriber. Comments have been turned off on the Kelly video, so I'll add my comments here, if that's OK. (I know, whether or not it's OK my comments are here anyway.) You got it basically right about why Kelly's gang was seen at the time: the penal origin of much of the population meant that he had (and has) a lot of sympathetic support amongst the populace, his father was actually an ex-convict. And most Irish-Australians were, of course, Catholic who were very much looked down on by the then government and parts of the police force (who were basically protestant Scots). Kelly is still a divisive character: he did murder 3 police but the police were definitely on a mission to kill him and his gang at the same time. Anyway, there's only a bit more than 15 minutes of the original 60 or so minutes that still remain, some of it as you showed in really poor condition. The remaining footage is very much sought after in Australia, so we're hoping that, like Metropolis, more will be found sometime, somewhere. But another Australian film, For the Term of His Natural Life, shot in 1927, also largely lost, included a burning ship that was filled with old nitrate film stock to make the fire more effective. So it was probably destroyed then.
All an actor needs is a group of people attempting to ban any part of a movie to get the audience to buy tickets. Look what the bad reviews did for Life of Brian and Fifty Shades of Grey, for example. People hate being told NOT to see that.
There was a "Clean up TV" campaigner in the UK called Mary Whitehouse. Drama producers soon realised that if they included a sex scene or nudity in the first episode of a series, whether it was "essential to the plot" or not, she would hear about it, make a fuss and everybody would tune in to see how disgusted they could be by it.
She didn't need much convincing to go with the carney. I'm sure there're many in today's audience who would be happy to root for her - long and hard. (That's one for the Aussies and Kiwis.)
This film at the beginning of a new cultural movement that was a precursor of the jazz age .The Belle Epoque had the first stirrings of expressionism. The Gypsys, Gauchos and the so-called Bohemians with their alleged uninhibited lifestyles were seen as an alternative to staid and decaying lifestyles of bourgeois culture. It is part of same movement that caused Stravinsky's Rite of Spring to almost cause a riot at its premiere.
Damn, she was grinding it! Yeah, I can see the audiences that whined about the Valentino kiss going into coniptions over that scene. Great minidoc, that's terrific she lived a good, long life!
Hi Movie Cyclops, great video. The viewers should understand that pre-1934 (Hays Code Era), there was no "code" of what could be shown or not - remember how short the "Flapper Skirts" or fashion of the 20s were, much worse (or better, depending on one's point of view, no pun intended)? Cinema was testing boundaries of local morality and/or decency. What determined whether a show/viewing/exhibition was permitted, was the morals (or tolerance) of the community in which it was shown. Remember the "Stag films" of the thirties, the exhibitions at local fairs, and for those who made their military service overseas, well... The younger generation did not invent venereal diseases (they did help spread it some) but overall, VD had been with mankind since the dawn of humanity. Ciao, L (Cinema student from the sixties)

It's a great tragedy but people do not want to be free and thereselves.

The gaucho dance was not technically difficult at all; I can say this with confidence as I was a dancer for many years. She is doing a tiny circle with her hips while rubbing up against him. This, combined with her going without a corset (you cannot move your torso naturally while so restricted), her body showing beneath the satin dress, is what made it incendiary for 1910. Although Little Egypt had already made her debut in 1895, the abdomen was rarely used. The kick dance, with its many high kicks and skirt florishes, was the normal entertainment. I can well imagine her dance being met with raised eyebrows, even in Europe.
I am so horribly disappointed that her dance as not "technically difficult" that I will forever carry the guilt of watching it over and over. Now go away.
That's not bad acting, you're just watching it from an evolution point of view. Can't judge what people done back then by today's standards, it's completely unfair. Not to mention that if not for that "bad acting" you would have no "good acting" today.
Not bad acting at all. Many of these performers were from vaudeville, where they had to make dramatic movements and embellishments so the people in the cheap seats could understand what was going on.
This was Censored? LOL. This would be G rated now. I have to say from what little I see here it was the best acted movie of the silent film era. Most of the time the acting was so over the top that it was comical.
Fascinating. Nothing like turning morality on its uptight, hypocritical, narcessistic ear. I can understand for the time the dance scene is quite erotic. Even today that scene would still be banned in certain countries in even this day & age.
Fantastic. I've just watched a colourised version of the dance and then found this. What a woman and so sensual! A fine actress. Thank you for the narration.
For a 113 year old film, it has been well preserved.
