    Very interesting thoughts on all that. I wish I had a greater early film vocabulary in order to understand better, or even craft a simple argument or two.

    Are silent films something you studied in school, perhaps?

      nah, i’m just a nerd.

      check out Hollywood, the Pioneers by Kevin Brownlow for the american silent film and then The Haunted Screen by godlike Lotte Eisner and The Cine Goes to Town by Richard Abel. And of course In the Service of the State about the great Dovzhenko
