Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Cupid and Psyche" is a 30-second short film from the very very early days of cinema. it is black-and-white, silent and soon has its 120th anniversary. I must say that i never would have recognized who these characters are without the title telling us. A young woman and girl play the famous duo in here. Basically they are just dancing, while a great audience is watching, so it seems to have been quite a spectacular event. I think they joy of the woman is a bit contagious, but still, there is nothing really memorable about this very short movie. I would say it's not among the worst films of the 19th century, but not among the best either.
Michael_Elliott Cupid and Psyche (1897) Innocent Edison film has a couple young girls dancing. One, in wings, is suppose to be Cupid with the other one, I'm guessing, just your typical girl of the era. This film only runs 27-seconds and it's yet another one where we see nothing more than dancing. It's pretty funny to see how many movies from this era just show people dancing. Several are a lot more famous than this one but this here still cute enough to view. There are at least a hundred people in the background watching so it's interesting to see what all they're wearing and it's pretty clear that this type of thing could draw good crowds back in the day.
