- Take the Kinopill.
I know I skipped over a bunch and didn't really include many films or movements from the 21st century, but it's always good to leave room for a sequel, isn't it?
I hope that this video broadens your horizons or helps you contextualize and appreciate older films!
And I want to note something here: I read some conflicting reports about R and X being about 16 year olds rather than 17 year olds. I know the MPAA system has changed quite a bit over the years, so if that's a mistake on my part, then I fully own up to it.

I think its interesting to note that silent films persisted in Japan longer than they did in the US because they had these people called benshi. Benshi narrated movies to the audience and the benshi themselves became celebrities in their own way. Like people would go to specific theaters to see a movie narrated by well known benshi. Because of this different kind of filmgoing experience, silent film's popularity lasted longer there
That's a really cool trivia! It reminds me of some african countries were it's popular that a guy narrates the movie in the theatre. For example "Who killed captain Alex" th-cam.com/video/KEoGrbKAyKE/w-d-xo.html
same thing with korea and their pyeonsa
akira kurosawas brother was a narrator at a movie theater and thats partly why he got into making movies
Really Kino? The whole family can enjoy Grave of the Fireflies?
Yes.
K
@@TheKinoCorner awesome
there's this idea people have nowadays that you should protect children from their negative emotions, this idea is absolutely damaging to them, pain helps them grow and emotionally mature, overprotection will only make their lives harder as immature adults.
Sure, stupid.
Not all "family" films have to have singing animals or happy endings.
Grave of the Fireflies is a thoughtful film with two children as protagonists with whom a child audience can identify. Parents could watch the film with their children and talk after about what happens in the story.
Parents could use the film to help their children understand that bad things can happen to anyone, how to empathize, and that being sad is okay.
The earlier a child learns these things, the better adults they'll be, more compassionate, more nuanced in understanding the world around them, and less quick to judge.
still waiting for someone to add time stamps hehe. edit: fine i'll do it myself

This is gonna be one of those film side of TH-cam classics.
17:53 "But Technicolor would come into it's own, commercially and artistically..."
American Psycho
I don't want to be THAT person, but in the '60s and '70s, there was a movement in Brazil called Cinema Novo (New Cinema). It was inspired by the french new wave and Italian neorealism. Glauber Rocha is the most famous director of the movement, and Martin Scorsese seems to be a great fan of his.
What person?
In what way is your comment anything but helpful?
South American cinema is an unknown quantity in the US, and it's my guess that there's a lot to love.
@@Stratmanable, I was just kind of joking, because in every video on the internet there's always someone like: ''you forgot to mention these'', ''how didn't you talk about that''... but you are right, South American cinema doesn't get heaf the attention it deserves.
@@adrianapereira8921 As far as I know, I've only seen one--Man Facing Southeast. Loved it.
@@Stratmanable Haven't heard of that one before, gonna add it to my list.
@@Stratmanable Thanks for the information, I will look into this. For anyone interested I would also recommend films from the Czech new wave, as there are some superb films from that period.
I've never seen a movie before, but after this video I feel I have enough knowledge to 5 star every Marvel movie ever on Letterboxd and tell Ralph Sepe, Jr. how little he knows about film. I can't wait to bore all my friends by telling them about how Europe chose a different frame rate than the common one because they couldn't figure out multiplication. Movies suck and I hate them.
" tell Ralph Sepe, Jr. how little he knows about film "
do that even if you dont do all the other things
No, YOU suck.
😂😂😂
@@nazauwu6431 why doesn't he know anything about film? I fell like you're just saying this to be cool and edgy, showing you're a real cinephile unlike ralph.
My cat, who is normally running about the place at high speeds, sat down in front of the TV to watch the entire video.
Good Work!
This is such a well produced and entertaining first looks at this industry. I’ve just been getting into film, and this was an awesome first introduction. I hope you blow up, your videos are phenomenal.
4:28 The following "fun fact" is actually incorrect. L'entrée d'un train en Gare (the frech title of the film) did not actually scare the audience out of their seats, since film projections were a thing for about a year in Paris; everyone knew this was not real. Journalists at the time simply wanted to make this story to something that physically moved the audience, obviously stretching the reality of a simple screening to the current reputation of the short. You can define the term "Yellow Journalism" for these extreme depictions of actual facts, the original FAKE NEWS.
Was about to say this. Glad someone pointed this out!
Yeah it is a bit of a myth though I'm sure there must have been at least 1 or 2 people who did react like that! I heard one about an audience worried they'd get wet after watching a film of waves at a beach too!
I might follow up with a Part 2 later this year to go over the films, technologies, and film movements from the 80s to the 2020's. I hope that you all enjoyed this video and 2021 will be the Year of Kino!
Here is the list of every film I mentioned or showed in the video: letterboxd.com/thekinocorner/list/the-beginners-guide-to-cinema/
Also, You can watch a lot of these movies I talked about on the Criterion Channel. I'm not paid by them. I just really love their service.
I know all countries cannot be covered but I feel many forget the influence Mexican Cinema had during their golden era from 1936-1956, during this time many Mexican films and directors reached internacional recognition. While other countries were busy in world wars. Mexican Cinema was pumping out musical films, film noir, comedies and horror films. Using outside cinematic influences to create their own style. In fact the Academy awards oscar statue is said to be designed after famed golden era Mexican director Emilio Fernandez.
Read: MORA, Carl J. Mexican Cinema: Reflections of a Society, 1896-2004, Berkeley: University of California Press, 3rd edition 2005.
Also Iranian cinema, Chinese cinema, Brazilian cinema, Spanish cinema, Polish cinema, even British cinema... not mentioned. Some very odd global traditions not to talk about, while still including Aussie cinema.
I thought the golden age of Mexican cinema lasted until the late 60’s
Just finished the video, I loved this so much--wish you more views and recognition. Keep it up, dude.
love your videos man, I don't have too many friends that are into cinema as much as me, but the ones that are I always share your vids with! you deserve way more recognition, brother. plz keep up the amazing work!!!
Another amazing video. Really puts into perspective how confined a typical moviegoer’s view of cinema as a whole is. Going to make it my goal to watch all of these movies (even though it might take a while).
Great video, thanks for your work. As a Polish I'd also recommend Polish Film School movement (Andrzej Wajda's "Ashes and diamonds", Wojciech Has's "How to be loved", Andrzej Munk's "Passenger", Jerzy Kawalerowicz's "Night train" - that's for starters) and Cinema of moral anxiety (Krzysztof Kieślowski's "Camera Buff", Agnieszka Holland's "Provincial Actors", Krzysztof Zanussi's "Camouflage" and Andrzej Wajda's "Man of marble")
this video is so well done and didactic, i have no words to thank for it
What a great video, you deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the good work!
man oh man what a great start-up for the beginners in the cinema I mean what can I say you said it all. thank you for sharing with us your great knowledge.
Great video! I’m excited to watch a lot of these because I’ve only seen one or two
From celluloid, to cutting/edditing, from frames, to sound and finally to color. What a journey
Amazing video man, included everything from the first horse motion film to A24, hats off for such a fantastic and informative presentation!
One of the best videos on film on TH-cam. Very interesting.
this is great, but i would love it even more if you put in a subtitle track with the titles of the films you're showing on screen so we could more easily do our homework
I included a list in the description that includes all the films I mentioned or showed
@@TheKinoCorner hey thanks for taking the time to reply
You perfectly put into words why I love film!
So thankful for the list 🙏🏻
my god, the personality of this channel is so fun
Long boring lectures that i got from my lecturer are summarized in 46 minutes of very interesting video. Thank you!
The best intro ever seen!! Definitely the kino pill
this is amazing
Excellent work, thanks!
Help, I thought the Kinopill was a suppository and now I have cinema coming out of my ass.
Great as always, kino
Bro this is insane. Amazing history lesson. Thanks.
0:37 definitely Morbius. Greatest of all time.

@@Stratmanable Yeah sorry my bad.
Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to put this important history lesson in order.
I like this channel. This dude is like AVGN from the parallel universe, where beer doesn't exist.
Feels good to be Based & KinoPilled
Even as a big movie collector myself, this video was really interesting! (Although i wished the world tour part would've touched on canadian films, since some of the best movies were made there)
I think I love you just for making that one very specific American Psycho reference.
I learned a lot thanks Owen Wilson
No one actually thought they would be hit by a train it's a historic hyperbole to describe the feeling of being in the room and a testament to the power of illusion.
Ironic that I got a She-Hulk ad before this video lol.
Heaven’s Gate’s critical reception “tepid”? Vincent Canby in the New Yorker: “An unqualified disaster.” Pauline Kael in The New Yorker: “While watching the film it was easy to see what to cut. But then I thought about what to keep, and my mind went blank.” Kathleen Carroll on the TODAY show: “This film has nothing. The more you watched, there was nothing on that screen. Nothing at all!”
This video was more comprehensive than my entire History of Film class in college
I think the history of film is super interesting and I really really enjoy film now. But I enjoy modern movies more, where the visuals and audio are pretty good. I do enjoy a lot of older movies from the 70s and up, But I’ve never watched citizen Kane or most the movies you mentioned in the video. Maybe someday something will spark my interest and throw me down the rabbit hole.
very nice video
17:51 Impressive, Very nice
I like the way you talk, I feel like you're telling me a very important secret
Great Video.
Nice editing and story telling.
Good job !
my favorite directors as of now are Noah baumbach, Edgar Wright, Robert Eggers, Steve McQueen, David Lowery, Damien Chazelle, David Fincher, John Kraskinski, Matt Reeves, Coen brothers, and Wes Anderson/Christopher Nolan/Jordan Peele
Denis vilenueve
What a good vid
I just now noticed the Satyricon poster behind you to your right. Love that fucking movie so much. Based taste.
Personally I think the period from the 1970's to the early 1990's marks Hollywood's greatest period. I know I'm biased, being born in 1986, but I absolutely love those first few decades of blockbuster filmmaking. The concepts of most high budget blockbustes of the era were pure audience pandering (aliens, robots, dinosaurs, ect) BUT the mindest of financers and producers ate the time genuinly seemed to be that the artists themselves knew best on how to deliver on those concepts. This gave us high-flying, fantastical, high-concept movies that nevertheless had artistic ambition and reflected the personality of the individual directors, scrip-writers, ect. E.T, the original Star Wars trilogy, Ghostbusters, the Back to the Future trilogy, Blade Runner, the first two Terminator films, Jurassic Park ect... they all existed in that sweet spot between the studios need to make money and the artists own tastes. Come the mid 90's however blockbuster films became gradually safer and less colored by individual artistic visions, and also the increased use of CGI often became sort of a crutch to compensate for lackluster stories. Tere were still of course also still artistically driven blockbusters even thoughout the 00's, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But by the 2010's for the most part blockbuster filmmaking no longer had much to do with art, and the movies' content were dictated not so much by writers and directors but by producers, executives, financers and focus groups. So now we are swamped by thse bland, artistically interchangable movies, possibly best examplified by the MCU. Only a few directors in Hollywood are still essentially given a blank check to do whatever they please even when making ultra-expensive mastodon movies and can thus make their individual visions come true, such as Christopher Noland and Quentin Tarantino. These directors for one reason or another are still treated by studios the way most directors were treated by studios 35 years ago; the studios asuming that these artistis knows what will make for a good and thus popular movie better than the studios knows. But when the day comes when these auteurs' makes a movie or two that flops, even these last of the "exception to the rule" blockbuster directors will have to play by the common, corporatized rules.
Interesting stuff. I should check out your other videos.
I woke up today tied to a chair with this video playing on repeat. Someone please send help there is a man in the corner mumbling, “it’s gonna be kino”
I thought weird that when you hit WW2, you recommended movies about WW2 rather than movies produced during WW2 which is what you were doing for time periods up until then.
Merci !
Great video!!!!! I will watch a lot of these films. Just one thing, I wpuld argue that Luis Buñuel actually made his best films in Mexico rather than France. Like "Los Olvidados"
4:30 this part is well known to be a legend, people didnt freak out when the train showed up
I started crying at the end. I couldn’t even imagine corporatism going to such lengths as to cinemas being monopolized again. Of course I never lived through it the first time around but it just gives me an icky feeling. I guess we will always have smaller theaters probably but it still makes me sick to think that the creativity of filmmakers could be squashed by money hungry companies who could dissolve our entire understanding of cinemas as we know it. I don’t want to grow old and talk about cinemas like it’s some dinosaur or unicorn that’s gone extinct, I already can barely bare that dvd stores are so hard to come by. This is just a stupid rant but I’m just happy to know there are still people out there that value film.
Good post Kino
its not exactly "high art", but The Irony Of Fate is a classic Soviet romantic comedy that's definitely worth a watch.
I understood so many Simpsons references I never knew about watching this :D
One day am gonna make such essay and use your footage ...thanks
Love your homage to the Matrix!
I hope you have a filmfreeway account and are on your way to submitting some of your videos into some festival for documentary short subject categories, or episodic categories. Your videos are great stories, plain and simple.
great video! found this because of your letterboxd list and got confused when i saw evangelion on it. were you really referring to the tv series or one of the movies that's part of the series, like the end of evangelion?
I am now an expert film beginner
17:54 nice reference!
Hey, loved the video, subscribed! One thing though -- I think by downplaying The Birth of a Nation and not specifically mentioning what happens within the film, you do a bit of a disservice to the history of film and its deep roots in racism. I don't think that's what you were going for but it is worth mentioning in a video that covers cinema history imo, rather than just skipping over its most pernicious aspects. Still, great vid!
Lol k redditor
i feel like most information regarding Birth of a Nation's very vile politics goes without saying at this point. it's one of the few givens in film appreciation academia: citizen kane good, new hollywood exists, don't forget the french new wave and similar art film movements internationally, watch pasolini films at your own risk, and the first big american blockbuster definitely restarted the kkk and made them look respectable to the point where lawyers and doctors signed up.
people often tend to focus a bit too much on its political aftereffects - which need discussing in order to understand how propaganda works - and ignore its artistic aftereffects (it combined all of the innovations of pioneer-days hollywood into one feature-length package, plus it really went in with the idea of "you can relate to an epic" that went into later epics; it was the first film to use outside songs in its score) that helped contribute to why its political aftereffects were so potent (the film looks good and makes you relate so hard to Lillian Gish's character when she jumps off a cliff just so she can avoid one of them black people D.W. Griffith seems to think about too much that you're goaded into cheering for the goddamn Klan riding into town - as Roger Ebert said in his Great Movies essay, and I'm paraphrasing, "it argues for evil very persuasively").
Exactly !!!it's like we are dumb and will be swayed by it ..by downplaying its importance , he indirectly underestimate our intelligence ....understanding it's importance in terms of arts and it's relationship with politics is different than celebrating it ...we should not celebrate such movies but definately understand them
"for stuff the whole family can enjoy watch THE GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES"
Easy Rider came out two years after Bonnie & Clyde, the real beginning of New Hollywood.
17:52 thought you were going to segue into Huey Lewis monologue from American Psycho. 😁
Great video, really interesting, however I think I would be remiss if I didn't point out you didn't mention Night of the Living Dead and George Romero's work, which basically created the archetype of what we would call a zombie, apart from it being a great film, it also had a big cultural impact extending beyond movies
Pity you did not mention the film maker 'Abel Gance' and his film "Napoleon" which he made many improvements to filming techniques still used to this day.
this is the history of cinema
29:30 I woke up everyone in the house with my laugh on this one
