The Beginner's Guide to Cinema

You can tell the guy who made this sht is gay

My beginning to cinema was through Nolan,Tarantino,Coppola, and Scorsese. Right now I’ve been watching Kubrick, and in the future I’ll see more kurosara (already saw seven samurai) ozu,Yang,kon and anno

Chaplin was more "problematic" than other things that you have labeled as such. Not only was Chaplin a Communist, the deadliest form of government in history, but he was also a womanizer, ruining the lives of everyone in the wake of his debauchery...

I am now ultimate knower of kino

Best video ngl

A really good and concise video. Got more than a few films to check out from it - especially from the French New Wave.

One thing I was curious about was the choice of Easy Rider and not Bonnie & Clyde or The Graduate as the film that heralded the American New Wave.

Wow, I can't believe you took a shot at the people that were blacklisted. Most these people lost careers and livelihoods, but go ahead and call them a bunch of whiners.

Who's the third filmmaker in the title card?

Where’s the list with the films? 😭 couldn’t find it

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.

Great video. Btw it could've been better if you add movie titles in the subtitles.

No Brazilian film like “Central Station”??? Please make a video about actors like Anna Magnani, Marlon Brando etc

Good post Kino

I started crying at the end. I couldn’t even imagine corporatism going to such lengths as to cinemas being monopolized again. Of course I never lived through it the first time around but it just gives me an icky feeling. I guess we will always have smaller theaters probably but it still makes me sick to think that the creativity of filmmakers could be squashed by money hungry companies who could dissolve our entire understanding of cinemas as we know it. I don’t want to grow old and talk about cinemas like it’s some dinosaur or unicorn that’s gone extinct, I already can barely bare that dvd stores are so hard to come by. This is just a stupid rant but I’m just happy to know there are still people out there that value film.

Frankly my dear, I dont give a hoot

my god, the personality of this channel is so fun

I appreciate the work but by your own introduction, it seemed you were going to discuss best movies to see if you want to study film, not a complete history of film.

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")

unrelated but you look like an older version of sammy from the fabelmans
