Fantasmagorie (1908)
steam of consciousness
absolutely fantastic, ideas pop out without connections. I believe that MOnty Python's Terry Gilliam has seen this film, Gilliam has the same kind of flow on his animations. the technique is brilliant due the time when it was made. it could not be any longer because timing just over one minute it captures viewer's eye and focus.
Pauvre Pierrot (1892)
beautifully colored
everything is said the history of this film. I myself was amazed about the colors and the drawing; it is so delicate and fragile. if the speed is clumsy, it is not adequate to comping to future animation films. I thin this film was something that people who saw it back 1900s found it fresh and invigorating.
The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
Lon Chaney charm
at the end of silent movie era came a true classic and main triumph belongs to Lon Chaney who plays a mad phantom who'd been madly love on an actress of Paris opera house. Phantom haunts in the opera and masters Christine who he wants to be the main prima donna. mystery things happens and Christine gets her chance on stage. Christine's master and the phantom are same character which Christine finds out too late when phantom already been captured her assuming her to be his and only his property. Christines fiancée finds the way to phantoms cave and finally saves her. mad mob catches phantom and kills him. Lon Chaney makes a remarkable role as a mad and lonely phantom who is possessed by Christine wanting her love. rest of the cast in mainly statistics. sadly hero, Norman Kelly, is charmless and I had problems to take his role seriously. the opera gives a fine Gothic atmosphere to the film.
