All of those subtle micromovements are optimised to ooze sexuality.
Look at the quivering twitches in her clavical head of pectoralis major
Look at her eye faintly closing while her lips purse and her arms collapse twice (2 times)

12 Angry Men is without question the best 50's film.
Robert Moore
It's great, but the best 50s film without question? That makes it seem like you haven't seen many films from the 50s
Julian Carter

"Curse of the Demon" (1957) is a pretty solid 50s horror film.
Nolan Smith
Great movie.
Jordan Morgan
You're right I haven't because most of them blow compared to modern filmmaking. I've seen approximately 10 movies from the 50's.

The revealing sincerity of Glen or Glenda stunned me. It's clumsy yet so endearing and passionate.
The way he naively tries to express himself is so genuine and innocent, it's truly heartwarming once you know the context. Actually the feeling is somewhat reminiscient of how I feel about Chris-Chan now (in a retrospective sympathetic light).

Why were women so beautiful then? Even "sex symbols" today are mostly just plastic looking fake tanned hookers
Even the Jews were hot then

get the fuck outta here with your pretentious entry level european arthouse bullshit that people only pretend to like to look cultured
Carson Ward
it's not pretentious, it is entry-level, but people do not only pretend to like it to seem cultured, some people genuinely are, although, there are definitely faggot pseuds who do pretend

Are you fucking retarded? How is it pretentious in any way? The story and message is presented in a very simple, straightforward way, but the eloquence in the execution of it is what makes it's beautiful. It actually caught me off guard by its sincerity and I was unsure if there was something I was missing, but once I understood that it had presented everything it wanted to say straight to the audience's faces I was stunned by its boldness. It's the fucking opposite of pretentious, and that's part of what makes it great.
It being entry level has nothing to do with anything.

Classical / painterly standards, basically, which served as a kind of tastefulness quality control. The clownish botox looks of the 00s would have been called out according to those standards.
I think there are a lot of beautiful women these days, but the more popular/populist aesthetics in mainstream film I find tend to lean towards a really lowbrow take on 'hotness' rather than beauty. That's a big part of it; 'hotness' over beauty, which in the hands of stupid people just becomes about lots of makeup and fake lips and big tits/ass.

1949 brah
Luis Brown
it's a melodramatic tearjerker, get over it
Christian Ross
BETTY DRAPER YOU'RE A CATCH!~
Camden Martinez
You're writing as if your opinion has any worth or validity even though you're seemingly unable to defend your original statement. Not liking a film is one thing, but you're just spouting nonsensical bullshit from a juvenile point of view.
>people only pretend to like X to look cultured
Maybe there are people who genuinely like something and aren't obsessed with shit like that. You obviously are, considering you get caught up in what's "entry level" or not even when you can't even grasp or recognize what makes those "entry level" films great. Fuck off.
David Gonzalez
what's wrong champ, someone made fun of a shitty movie you like?
Robert Smith
He's a troll with no actual substantive argument
Connor Powell
>salacious, subtle undoings of civilized society
>"they're fun and harmless," they said
Meanwhile in 2019, every movie ends in all trans or female heroes saving the day. Every heteronormative character is a villain or comedic relief. When did this happen??
