el origen del cine, mi safe space

realmente muy poco que comentar, lleva un curro bestial grabar esto y más en 1910, es interesante y se aprende

Tag yourself; I'm "Neapolitan Onion: 5 Days Growth"

Narrative filmmaking has been cool and all, and I appreciate how instrumental it was to progressing the technological development of the medium due to its popularity, but man, I wish we had gotten another 30 or 40 years of cinema mainly being shit like this. Pure magic.
