not to sound like an immortal but 1925 should NOT be 100 years ago next year. wtf. that's the year Buster Keaton's "Seven Chances" and "Go West", Charlie Chaplin's "Gold Rush", AND Harold Lloyd's "the Freshman" came out. When you say "100 year old film" I'm thinking about those "moving pictures" that were essentially postcard illustrations projected onto the silver screen. But you're trying to tell me Sherlock Jr., a movie with a solid plot, interesting cinematography, and PEAK comedic timing is a century old??? shut up stop lying to me.

#vitpost #very strange #I know these directors died in the 70s but just having like. recorded interviews with them #that I can watch where they are alive and talking #makes it very surreal that their works are So Old #most art history I'm interested in doesn't have that #which makes films a special case that I can't wrap my head around #in a few years they're gonna tell me TALKIES are 100 years old #and that's when I'm gonna start throwing things
