    One of the examples I sometimes think about is that rightwing British actor complaining about seeing Sikh soldiers in the movie 1917 and anyone who actually knows about history having to inform him that it wasn’t woke and he was just very stupid

    I did a project on tv/film copaganda a while ago, and one of the most telling things I found was from the 1917 Charlie Chaplin film Easy Street, in which a woman chides Chaplin's police officer character and says "but you promised to reform!" It just goes round and round, decade after decade.

    Pixies appear in CASTLES FOR TWO (1917). The Irish-themed film was intended to charm Irish Americans but proved to be so offensive that it caused violent protest, censorship of the more bigoted bits and complaints from politicians in the homeland.

    Bob, botd 1917. If you haven't, I urge you to read Lee Server's biography 'Baby, I Don't Care', because he genuinely didn't. No film has cast such an instant and unfading enthrallment upon me as 'Night Of The Hunter'. "And they're a warrin', and they're a fightin'"

    One of my autistic traits that I love is how I recognize people in movies in an instant. Gerran Howell, who plays Dr. Whitaker (Huckleberry) in The Pitt, was in the WW1 movie 1917 for about 10 seconds. I recognized him in about 1.5 seconds, mostly from his voice cadence, then his face. #autistic

    Vamp pictures put the Fox film company on the map but the fad was fleeting and they wanted to class up the joint, so they turned to a lavish literary adaptation. Frank Lloyd directed A TALE OF TWO CITIES (1917), making the most of a generous budget.
