FriesDon't know if this is in reference to the earlier posts but I like a lot of what I've seen, currently getting into Gance, I love the visual inventiveness of the silent era, the images are so powerful, I feel like the shift to sound led to a lot of shot-reverse-shot blandness, but dialogue-focused films can still be great, and my personal favourites are all sound films
Finally saw Metropolis recently and jeeeez
expected something entirely different from what was said earlier. Never got into silent films myself so I’m using this post as a starting point, glad that you eventually got to open up to it.

I'm convinced those guys are blind, it's pointless trying to reason with them.
Resurrerections looks like it's filmed on a iPhone compared to the original's beautiful cinematography, it's amateur hour s***. And it makes sense considering the DP quit midway through production

i feel the Council of Pretentiousness is split on the vote.
No definite answer as to whether preferring to shoot on film is pretentious or not.

I don't trust whatever from online film community that are in state of psychosis if even. I truly despise both what I mentioned. "Cringeworthy" in fact. I do let people pride in their "cinematic journey" to find interesting films out there and how the silent era influenced the rest of cinema history as we know it.
Then, onto Intolerance. It's really a true tale of dark side of human nature. How we can perceive or treat another human being. Philosophical perhaps. History tells us that way. Griffith knew what he can play with through cinematic lens. Many directors such as Chaplin and Kubrick praised Griffith as a "cautionary tale". Much as BoaN is more of on writer's perspective, not the director. Intolerance is the director's perspective and his own worldview from the present past and history from there on. Abraham Lincoln is another antithesis of his latter work, but more better in support of the Great Emancipator. Armond White's criticism is acceptable in my opinion.
I don't agree with Armond White often, but I do agree that Intolerance is radical in its blanket anti-intolerance message, no film today would argue against man's inhumanity to man with such a broad scope. Either way, while it's true that BoaN is based on Dixon's framework, and his earlier racist works like His Trust and His Trust Fulfilled weren't written by him, interviews with him show a general belief in black people needing to be under white control that is reflected in his work at the same time as his admiration of Lincoln. He was a very contradictory man, but the anti-blackness is a constant.
I'm interested to know about the 'psychosis' you speak of in reference to online spaces, what exactly do you mean by that?
