Film History

Here is my homage.



Sergei Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925). Odessa Steps sequence. Dialectical montage is the best thing in the world. Probably one of the most unforgettable things I have ever seen.



This is one of the best scenes of Robert Weine's German Expressionistic film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. People on Youtube think it's cool to dub their own weird music. So, ignore that, and just focus on the visual style. All of the warped designs are supposed to reflect the mind of a psychopath, because that's whose telling the story. Genius!!!

Can't find a new video for this one... =(

One of the most amazing tracking shots ever. Regardless of the fact that the top hat is still wobbling from the table being moved! Watch closely. Also, the deep focus cinematography is gorgeous. Look at how the background, middleground, and foreground all tell their own story. Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. I can only dream of accomplishing what he did when he made this film at 25!




It Happened One Night by Frank Capra is a classic screwball comedy. I love Clark Gable in anything and everything. Plus, Capra was a genius. If you want to see something incredibly hilarious, skip to about 3 minutes and 45 seconds in the video.





Last but not least, my favorite period of cinema. Film Noir. That's a clip from Billy Wilder's Double Indemnity. Not to mention, Barbara Stanwyck is one of my favorite actresses. She plays the best villainess/femme fatale
