2:30 “They wanted characters who looked like them, who spoke like them.” Yes! Onscreen #RepresentationMatters. There are other aspects to it, too, like representation in decision-making, so it’s not only about what’s on the screen, but yes, onscreen representation absolutely matters. Intensely. These filmmakers were mostly men - mostly young, abled, cis-het white men - the most represented demographic onscreen since film began, and even THEY felt the need for better representation, and they were RIGHT! The rest of us feel that need too. It’s such a basic human need to perceive ourselves in our stories, in every medium. ❤️
I would not mind you guys trying to bring back maybe some Japanese anime or more science-fiction cartoons or the hobbit animated movies or TV shows animated
From this now COMES the garbage no one wants to watch. The creativeness that made great films has left hollywood. It's all about pushing someone's agenda, there's no greatness left in Hollywood. A bunch of low class, talentless , uninspiring woke, lifeless drones. Even your attempts at remakes or sequels leaves those of us who know the art and talent lost to Hollywood couldn't recognize any connection to the original. HOLLYWOOD AND TV DIED .

Is this not the guy from “Royal Ocean Film Society”? Wow!
I was wondering!
It is indeed.

The showcase on these films was excellent.
Very informative… Please keep making content like this!

Terrific, thank you!
TCM is my film school.
This is great. I wish it had closed captioning so I could show it in my film history class (required in many public institutions).
Great TCM video 👍👌👏😊📸📽️🎥🎬🎭🎥🗽🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶
is this video meant to be only in 480p, not HD?
What is the first song playing in the background when they start at the 1959 Introduction???
Great video.
Hiroshima Mon Amour is my favorite from 1959.
Lol! I kinda laughed when they crossed out Humphrey Bogart’s face and proclaimed they want people who look like them 😅
would like to watch but comcast up the price and put in another grouping
Yugoslav/Serbian Black Wave
So this is where the royal ocean film society went
Bring back the old TCM logo and the channel bumpers/promos
It seems like they have done away with the monthly trailers, too. Haven't seen one since July.

"Working class" is an antiquated term
