Welcome to a journey through the most scandalous, "shameless," and dangerous films ever made during the dawn of cinema. Before modern ratings existed, these 12 masterpieces broke every rule of morality, religion, and politics. In their YouTube video, "The Cinema" explores the forbidden era of the 1910s and 20s: the ritualistic madness of Häxan, the erotic controversy of The Sheik and Salomé, the psychological terror of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, the technical brilliance and dark propaganda of The Birth of a Nation, as well as several others. These are the films that censors tried to burn, and the public was terrified to watch. The video discusses the stories behind the scenes, the scandals of the stars, and why these movies were once considered a threat to civilization.
