"The 1930s, considered the first "Golden Period" of Chinese cinema, saw the advent of the leftist cinematic movement. The dispute between Nationalists and Communists was reflected in the films produced"

don't think I've seen any of these but I've been reading a ton about China's history and am looking forward to checking them out.

"Throughout the 1930s, the Nationalists and the Communists struggled for power and control over the major studios; their influence can be seen in the films the studios produced during this period."

Crazy that they were still making films in the middle of a civil war be interesting to see Mao vs Kai-Shek ideologies play out as the power struggle fluctuates. I got the impression Mao was busy hopping from cave to cave or holed up in some remote communist stronghold doing guerilla warfare all decade.

"The expression "the lunatics have taken over the asylum" means a situation in which incapable people are put in charge of responsibilities they are unqualified to handle. In simple terms it means idiots or fools have been put in charge of doing important or complicated things. Richard A. Rowland first used this expression in 1919 when famous movie stars Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford opened the movie company United Artists to protect their work and control their careers."

the capeshit of the dust era

Lingyu Ruan

Haven't seen any of her movies yet but I know her story f***ing tabloids

Might be ahead of the current year but The Goddess was great

Center Stage was also a good film

Trying to find Love and Duty

i've got a 44gb of that, but i'd have to throw it in handbrake to compress it a bit cause no way i can upload a 44gb raw rip

there's a 2.37GB rip with a direct DL link, but not sure if it does the restoration justice with all that macroblocking and artifacts from being compressed so hard

i haven't seen the film but I watched the restoration job extra and it seemed like a painstaking task to restore it so would do it justice to see it in a decent rip

Why TF y’all going backwards with the years

Been waiting for y’all to get to like a normal ass year

Like bring this s*** to the 90s bruh

we're not going backwards we're going FORWARD

trust the process

and miss the majority of the greatest films. Nah

I love the 90s btw

you probably get this instead: 1fichier link of Love and Duty

My tracker has 8gb one for 1080p if so just lmk

found Love And Duty thanks lads was excellent. Felt surprisingly western.

had some good french films i wanted to finish but fell asleep to them 400 times so f***it

The opening to Monkey Business

Distilled anarchy

I'm positive you would enjoy M. Most priceless Germans ever.

It's spotty but the good moments are amazing

I’m only praising the opening
Them going from evading capture to improvising a jazz song is the best representation of them

Any time Harpo is playing harp, Chico is playing piano or Groucho is roasting someone

The first music video?!?!?!?

Wasn't thinking about it like that but yeah its definitely like an animated proto Thriller
