Here's an early two-part animation about the need for U.S. soldiers of the Great War to be patient and wait until the army, facing an unprecedented logistical challenge in demobilization, got to them. The cartoon's humor relies on negative sterotypes of a certain kind of woman who would lead gullible good men astray. #GreatWar #WorldWarOne #PostWar #Gender

Last night, I researched #BrooklynLawSchool Annex. It’s been called the best #postwar building in #brooklyn. The #lawschool itself was founded in 1901 and was the first on #longisland. #BernieMadoff and #paulsimon both attended but neither finished. First year estimated costs are $80K (living at home) vs $100K (on your own). Wow! #architecture #law #history #nyc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Law_School

Post-WW2 Anti-Fascist Educational Film | Don't Be a Sucker | 1947 still as relevant today as it was when it was made!

Film of the day: 恋文 (LOVE LETTER, dir Kinuyo Tanaka, 1953) The spoils of war: smart, tranquil melodrama of rekindled love in a society still reeling from WWII, lifting itself from the ground up.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge April 3: #Party on #WorldPartyDay

To support his family, small-town boy Domenico moves to #Milan in the hope to find a #job. Eventually he's employed, as a clerk in a drab office replacing a senior worker who died. While the days drag on, only interrupted by coffee shop small talk with fellow #teenager Antonietta, the #Christmas office #party draws nearer.

With the dark absurdity of coming out of fascism and having to run a real-world country with a naive ineptitude – represented by the too-large-borrowed-from-father-suits – and pretence childlike bureaucratic procedures, Ermanno Olmi's Il posto [The Job] (1961) is a wonderfully sharp observation of #postwar #Italy.

Girl's Last Tour

The kind of anime that I will forget its title, characters, even the plot but subconsciously, the scenes will appear in my dreams every now and then.

What it gives you is not really a story or a message, but impressions that will seep slowly into your thoughts as if they're your own. Insidious, but delicious..

Who the heck bought all of that mid-century furniture when it was new, anyway? Hyperallergic takes a look. (Hint: most of the modern designers were male & white.) More complex, the meaning of these designs can be found in how the designs were advertised, how they were used to advertise other products, and how they appeared in the media. https://hyperallergic.com/639763/mid-century-modernism-racial-history/?fbclid=IwAR1dKE4Ll6m2-vzYWOAM4QfCioXa4lwTo8lCAjM6tHlmi0vOXug3cmbdU78

I DREAMED A DREAM: Anthony Fabian's 'Mrs Harris Goes To Paris' may be light in tone but it features a belter of a lead performance by Lesley Manville. As Pomona continues its mop up of 2022 movies, discover why we enjoyed the film costarring Isabelle Huppert, Ellen Thomas & Jason Isaacs.. https://pomonarewind.blogspot.com/2022/12/i-dreamed-dream-mrs-harris-goes-to-paris.html #Cinema #London #Paris #Movies #Fashion #ChristianDior #Film #France #England #Postwar #lesleymanville #paulgallico #isabellehuppert #jasonisaacs #ellenthomas #lambertwilson

#NowReading: #TheCutie, by #DonaldEWestlake - so far, immaculately written, terse, witty thriller from the 1960s when the #postwar #drugs scene was starting to wreak its havoc. Wikipedia: "Westlake wrote constantly in his teens, and after 200 rejections, his first short story sale was in 1954… an American writer, with more than a hundred novels and non-fiction books to his credit." @bookstodon
