I think that must have been the most 'horrific' event in film history since no-one understood anythin about film then.

that was a funny time .... everything had to be extremely linear too. for example you couldnt show a guy getting up, and then suddenly outside on the street .. People didnt know what was going on unless the camera showed him going out the door, down the stairs, out the front door, and onto the street.
