The only 5/5's for the year imo

Seen Only Angels Have Wings?

You seen the Carol Burnett parody of it?

S*** is Mel Brooks-tier. You and the gf should watch it.

I’m a big n00b with the old movies. What were the Germans up to this year? (film-wise )

The Japanese, Soviet and especially German golden eras had almost dried up by this point (not surprisingly)

Hate to admit it but France and Hollywood were carrying.

I'll watch it tomorrow

You gotta see Cary Grant in Only Angels

like a low budget Fantasia

So use imgur

Chrysanthemums is a stunner but man I have no idea what these actors actually look like

so far away from the camera

@RASIE @rowjaystan

Lmaooo

American propaganda documentary about the Sino-Japanese war that doesnt bother to go into details about the Chinese civil war, and had clearly chosen sides by portraying Chiang Kai-Shek as the only one standing up to the Japanese. No mention of Mao beyond the "superior guerrilla tactics being employed in the north".

Still a pretty stunning glimpse of old pre-war China, some really beautiful photography.

@Snowboy you'll love this

ive seen this before, some of the best wwii era footage that exists

Definitely but I was being sarcastic about the love cause they wouldn't acknowledge the communist contributions to the resistance

afaik the director was personal friends with zhou enlai and the film went through kmt censorship, so that might have something to do with it

but even still basically everyone at that time underestimated the Red Army, regardless of whether you sympathized with them or not

Ah you think the PRC initially had more of a focus but got censored?

Expected more of the Red Army after that director did a pretty good doc on the Spanish Civil wars a few years prior, and wasn't afraid to give the USSR credit for sending help

Equal parts impressive and scary (for the stuntman)

Re-do this on imgur already will you

Did you watch Only Angels Have Wings
