I think its interesting to note that silent films persisted in Japan longer than they did in the US because they had these people called benshi. Benshi narrated movies to the audience and the benshi themselves became celebrities in their own way. Like people would go to specific theaters to see a movie narrated by well known benshi. Because of this different kind of filmgoing experience, silent film's popularity lasted longer there

Really Kino? The whole family can enjoy Grave of the Fireflies?

17:53 "But Technicolor would come into it's own, commercially and artistically..."

I don't want to be THAT person, but in the '60s and '70s, there was a movement in Brazil called Cinema Novo (New Cinema). It was inspired by the french new wave and Italian neorealism. Glauber Rocha is the most famous director of the movement, and Martin Scorsese seems to be a great fan of his.

This is gonna be one of those film side of KZfaq classics.

I've never seen a movie before, but after this video I feel I have enough knowledge to 5 star every Marvel movie ever on Letterboxd and tell Ralph Sepe, Jr. how little he knows about film. I can't wait to bore all my friends by telling them about how Europe chose a different frame rate than the common one because they couldn't figure out multiplication. Movies suck and I hate them.

I might follow up with a Part 2 later this year to go over the films, technologies, and film movements from the 80s to the 2020's. I hope that you all enjoyed this video and 2021 will be the Year of Kino! Here is the list of every film I mentioned or showed in the video: letterboxd.com/thekinocorner/list/the-beginners-guide-to-cinema/ Also, You can watch a lot of these movies I talked about on the Criterion Channel. I'm not paid by them. I just really love their service.

I know all countries cannot be covered but I feel many forget the influence Mexican Cinema had during their golden era from 1936-1956, during this time many Mexican films and directors reached internacional recognition. While other countries were busy in world wars. Mexican Cinema was pumping out musical films, film noir, comedies and horror films. Using outside cinematic influences to create their own style. In fact the Academy awards oscar statue is said to be designed after famed golden era Mexican director Emilio Fernandez. Read: MORA, Carl J. Mexican Cinema: Reflections of a Society, 1896-2004, Berkeley: University of California Press, 3rd edition 2005.

My cat, who is normally running about the place at high speeds, sat down in front of the TV to watch the entire video. Good Work!

Help, I thought the Kinopill was a suppository and now I have cinema coming out of my ass.

This is such a well produced and entertaining first looks at this industry. I’ve just been getting into film, and this was an awesome first introduction. I hope you blow up, your videos are phenomenal.

love your videos man, I don't have too many friends that are into cinema as much as me, but the ones that are I always share your vids with! you deserve way more recognition, brother. plz keep up the amazing work!!!

4:28 The following "fun fact" is actually incorrect. L'entrée d'un train en Gare (the frech title of the film) did not actually scare the audience out of their seats, since film projections were a thing for about a year in Paris; everyone knew this was not real. Journalists at the time simply wanted to make this story to something that physically moved the audience, obviously stretching the reality of a simple screening to the current reputation of the short. You can define the term "Yellow Journalism" for these extreme depictions of actual facts, the original FAKE NEWS.

Another amazing video. Really puts into perspective how confined a typical moviegoer’s view of cinema as a whole is. Going to make it my goal to watch all of these movies (even though it might take a while).

Great video, thanks for your work. As a Polish I'd also recommend Polish Film School movement (Andrzej Wajda's "Ashes and diamonds", Wojciech Has's "How to be loved", Andrzej Munk's "Passenger", Jerzy Kawalerowicz's "Night train" - that's for starters) and Cinema of moral anxiety (Krzysztof Kieślowski's "Camera Buff", Agnieszka Holland's "Provincial Actors", Krzysztof Zanussi's "Camouflage" and Andrzej Wajda's "Man of marble")

Just finished the video, I loved this so much--wish you more views and recognition. Keep it up, dude.

man oh man what a great start-up for the beginners in the cinema I mean what can I say you said it all. thank you for sharing with us your great knowledge.

0:37 definitely Morbius. Greatest of all time.

Great video! I’m excited to watch a lot of these because I’ve only seen one or two

this is great, but i would love it even more if you put in a subtitle track with the titles of the films you're showing on screen so we could more easily do our homework

Amazing video man, included everything from the first horse motion film to A24, hats off for such a fantastic and informative presentation!

this video is so well done and didactic, i have no words to thank for it

What a great video, you deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the good work!

So thankful for the list 🙏🏻

You perfectly put into words why I love film!

One of the best videos on film on KZfaq. Very interesting.

my god, the personality of this channel is so fun

Excellent work, thanks!

From celluloid, to cutting/edditing, from frames, to sound and finally to color. What a journey

Long boring lectures that i got from my lecturer are summarized in 46 minutes of very interesting video. Thank you!

Fantastic video, very interesting. I keep pausing to write the names of films I should watch. Thank you.

The best intro ever seen!! Definitely the kino pill

Great Job men... nice video....

I'm just glad that you mentioned mizoguchi and ozo. Thank you.

“ commercially and artistically “ great content man

Great video.

I think the history of film is super interesting and I really really enjoy film now. But I enjoy modern movies more, where the visuals and audio are pretty good. I do enjoy a lot of older movies from the 70s and up, But I’ve never watched citizen Kane or most the movies you mentioned in the video. Maybe someday something will spark my interest and throw me down the rabbit hole.

great video

I love your narration. You have a very likable style. Subscribed.

Even as a big movie collector myself, this video was really interesting! (Although i wished the world tour part would've touched on canadian films, since some of the best movies were made there)

I learned a lot thanks Owen Wilson

17:51 Impressive, Very nice

Great Video. Nice editing and story telling. Good job !

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to put this important history lesson in order.

Feels good to be Based & KinoPilled

Ayo this is bars my neighbor. Bars 🔥

This is epic.

very nice video

Hey man, I've been getting quite into Czech new wave recently. Got any hot takes? Recommendations? Absolutely loved Ucho, Daisies, The Cremator, Closely Watched Trains and everything by Milos Forman. Tangentially related, but also a big fan of Svankmajer, obviously.

I think I love you just for making that one very specific American Psycho reference.

I like this channel. This dude is like AVGN from the parallel universe, where beer doesn't exist.

Heaven’s Gate’s critical reception “tepid”? Vincent Canby in the New Yorker: “An unqualified disaster.” Pauline Kael in The New Yorker: “While watching the film it was easy to see what to cut. But then I thought about what to keep, and my mind went blank.” Kathleen Carroll on the TODAY show: “This film has nothing. The more you watched, there was nothing on that screen. Nothing at all!”

my favorite directors as of now are Noah baumbach, Edgar Wright, Robert Eggers, Steve McQueen, David Lowery, Damien Chazelle, David Fincher, John Kraskinski, Matt Reeves, Coen brothers, and Wes Anderson/Christopher Nolan/Jordan Peele

I like the way you talk, I feel like you're telling me a very important secret

great video! found this because of your letterboxd list and got confused when i saw evangelion on it. were you really referring to the tv series or one of the movies that's part of the series, like the end of evangelion?

Good post Kino

Ironic that I got a She-Hulk ad before this video lol.

Interesting stuff. I should check out your other videos.

Merci !

I hope you have a filmfreeway account and are on your way to submitting some of your videos into some festival for documentary short subject categories, or episodic categories. Your videos are great stories, plain and simple.

I thought weird that when you hit WW2, you recommended movies about WW2 rather than movies produced during WW2 which is what you were doing for time periods up until then.

Love your homage to the Matrix!

Great video!!!!! I will watch a lot of these films. Just one thing, I wpuld argue that Luis Buñuel actually made his best films in Mexico rather than France. Like "Los Olvidados"

No one actually thought they would be hit by a train it's a historic hyperbole to describe the feeling of being in the room and a testament to the power of illusion.

What a good vid

Pity you did not mention the film maker 'Abel Gance' and his film "Napoleon" which he made many improvements to filming techniques still used to this day.

I just now noticed the Satyricon poster behind you to your right. Love that fucking movie so much. Based taste.

4:30 this part is well known to be a legend, people didnt freak out when the train showed up

17:54 nice reference!

One day am gonna make such essay and use your footage ...thanks

Does anyone know the name of the music that plays in the background when he starts talking about the invention of sound?

what movie is that clip from, during 34:05? It's beautiful and I want to steal it.

Great video, really interesting, however I think I would be remiss if I didn't point out you didn't mention Night of the Living Dead and George Romero's work, which basically created the archetype of what we would call a zombie, apart from it being a great film, it also had a big cultural impact extending beyond movies

I understood so many Simpsons references I never knew about watching this :D

Hey, loved the video, subscribed! One thing though -- I think by downplaying The Birth of a Nation and not specifically mentioning what happens within the film, you do a bit of a disservice to the history of film and its deep roots in racism. I don't think that's what you were going for but it is worth mentioning in a video that covers cinema history imo, rather than just skipping over its most pernicious aspects. Still, great vid!

This video was more comprehensive than my entire History of Film class in college

I want to say that I hope I'm not the only one who's familiar with some of the background music used in this video through H-game.

Personally I think the period from the 1970's to the early 1990's marks Hollywood's greatest period. I know I'm biased, being born in 1986, but I absolutely love those first few decades of blockbuster filmmaking. The concepts of most high budget blockbustes of the era were pure audience pandering (aliens, robots, dinosaurs, ect) BUT the mindest of financers and producers ate the time genuinly seemed to be that the artists themselves knew best on how to deliver on those concepts. This gave us high-flying, fantastical, high-concept movies that nevertheless had artistic ambition and reflected the personality of the individual directors, scrip-writers, ect. E.T, the original Star Wars trilogy, Ghostbusters, the Back to the Future trilogy, Blade Runner, the first two Terminator films, Jurassic Park ect... they all existed in that sweet spot between the studios need to make money and the artists own tastes. Come the mid 90's however blockbuster films became gradually safer and less colored by individual artistic visions, and also the increased use of CGI often became sort of a crutch to compensate for lackluster stories. Tere were still of course also still artistically driven blockbusters even thoughout the 00's, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But by the 2010's for the most part blockbuster filmmaking no longer had much to do with art, and the movies' content were dictated not so much by writers and directors but by producers, executives, financers and focus groups. So now we are swamped by thse bland, artistically interchangable movies, possibly best examplified by the MCU. Only a few directors in Hollywood are still essentially given a blank check to do whatever they please even when making ultra-expensive mastodon movies and can thus make their individual visions come true, such as Christopher Noland and Quentin Tarantino. These directors for one reason or another are still treated by studios the way most directors were treated by studios 35 years ago; the studios asuming that these artistis knows what will make for a good and thus popular movie better than the studios knows. But when the day comes when these auteurs' makes a movie or two that flops, even these last of the "exception to the rule" blockbuster directors will have to play by the common, corporatized rules.

17:52 thought you were going to segue into Huey Lewis monologue from American Psycho. 😁

Where is the clip at the end of the Russian section with the guy in the river with an arrow in his back from

this is the history of cinema

its not exactly "high art", but The Irony Of Fate is a classic Soviet romantic comedy that's definitely worth a watch.

What's the movie between To Be or Not to Be and Come and See?
