60 of 94 · most liked firstSilent film starter pack: Way Down East (emphatic melodrama, but huge fun) Battleship Potemkin The Thief of Bagdad (oh, Doug ❤️) Sunrise (oh, George ❤️) The General (oh, Buster ❤️) If you can't intersect with those, silent films might actually not be for you, and that's OK.

Reiniger's is the first surviving animated feature film and Fairbanks's is an extraordinary feat of art direction and special effects.

Her role in the popular silent film The Thief of Bagdad (1924) with Douglas Fairbanks further boosted her profile, making her a recognized face globally. /3

Was only just singing her praises as the film’s surviving cast member (Glynis Johns died at 100 last year) in a soon-to-be-released audio commentary for the film. #vale

That film was started in London, but due to the outbreak of WWII, production was moved to LA, where Rózsa completed the score. The film was a hit. 5/ #filmsky #moviesky #botd

positive · AI labelView post →I'm not sure if anyone is interested in watching old silent films but I found a 1924 version on the Thief of Bagdad directed by Raoul Walsh and starring a shirtless Douglas Fairbanks. It's actually part of the National Film Registry too. A warning though, its dated with orientalist imagery. 🇮🇶

neutral · AI labelView post →I watched The Thief of Bagdad (1940) recently, and was kinda shocked at how much I enjoyed it. There's a whole world of effects, such as using painted backdrops, that don't look "realistic" but actually do a lot more for creating fantastical vibe than even perfect modern cgi. It also highlights the main problem with most "effects heavy" movies, in that they often focus on the effects instead of the story. And when that happens, it doesn't really matter how good they are, because fundamentally…
positive · AI labelView post →Kinda like the King in that old silent film of "The Thief of Bagdad" (Aladdin), who gave his daughter to the evil Jafar in exchange for Jafar's latest mechanical wonder - a bejeweled golden flying horse. Sound familiar?
neutral · AI labelView post →Ah, yes, Veidt plays the villainous vizier Jaffar in The Thief of Bagdad (1940), which is an excellent little fantasy film. The special effects hold up really well, and Sabu steals the show as one of the leading men. I enjoyed that one quite a bit.
positive · AI labelView post →WWII is what happened. There weren’t the resources available for elaborate films of any kind. The 1940 version of The Thief Of Bagdad was completed only because a Hollywood studio agreed to complete the half finished film. After the war most countries focused on rebuilding. 1/2

positive · AI labelView post →The massive castle set was designed by Lloyd Wright, son of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It featured a real concrete floor and a drawbridge constructed out of wood-covered steel.
