Paul Mertons Weird and Wonderful World of Early Cinema. (Max Linder)
Paul Merton goes in search of the origins of screen comedy in the forgotten world of silent cinema - not in Hollywood, but closer to home in pre-1914 Britain and France. Max Linder

Very interesting video, the time, when the pictures started walking. What a sad end to the definitly first filmstar Max Linder and his wife. There is never a winner in war, only broken people, suffering and death.

The Thomas Edison film of the two cats boxing is proof cat videos will never get old! They've been around since the beginning and with KZfaq they are here to stay!

Those pig costumes 11:34 look very well made. The eyes seem so real I guess that's what gives some people the creep factor.

Does anyone happen to know the name of the Max Linder's movie starting at 47:15 (the scene with the piano player and the furniture moving)?

How come there's no mention of F. R. Murnau or the post Great War German Expressionist movement?

@Tatiana_Palii 5 жыл бұрын

Because the documentary is about the EARLY silent films (pre-WWI). But I love the German expressionism too :)

what happened to the fact that popular children's TV channel NICKEL-ODEON started out as a porn channel? The early nickelodeons were peep shows dotted around US and cost a nickel to get an eye full of objectified young women (whom I'm almost certain were vetted and provided birth certs. Surely?) in all the glory of their day, posing and play acting for the camera in very debauched and highly sexual and suggestive manners for the cheap thrills of perverts. That money was used to formulate a kiddies channel? Or was it used to develop the next level of moving pictures porn (underground of course such were the high moral standards of the day), a genre which it invented and from which it took the name that kids all over the world idolise today.

What the heck are you on about, dude? There is so much wrong with what you just said, it's mind-boggling. Most importantly, neither were Nickelodeons even primarily used for porn, nor does the channel have anything to do with them or have any of the money made with them go into the channel at all. Nickelodeons were simply a type of theater and the channel only came into existence in the late 1970's and wasn't even originally called Nickelodeon to begin with (it was called Pinwheel) so even the first sentence of your comment is a blatant and obvious lie. And even if what you said were true, what does a name even really matter? You just had to "explain" what Nickelodeons were originally, realizing yourself that noone today associates the word with the stuff you mentioned, so it's literally just a word that makes people think of children's programming. Just like Disney barely has anything to do with Walt as a person or the things he stood for or how certain child-friendly animated movies based on much darker fairy tales shouldn't get scrutinized for the more questionable content of their source material. Don't try to create outrage out of nothing.

You would think that a man who has devoted his career to silent film would get the pronunciation of "Melies" right. Half the time he says "Mell-ee-ay", which is wrong. Then SOME of the time it's "Mell-ee-ays", which is only a little less wrong. Only the French guy gets it right: "Mel-YESS", but it whizzes by him and he starts saying "Mell-ee-ay" again. It's dismaying as hell. Bad enough that both pronunciations are wrong, but to switch back and forth is just detestable.
