a crash crash course on the golden age of hollywood
to state the obvious, this is not meant to be a be all end all guide. it’s just a start for people who wanna know more about some of the essentials of the era. there’s plenty of people and movies i didn’t include but at least now you can listen to vogue and understand all the references.
I know OP didn’t have a lot of time for silent movies but you also need to drop what you’re doing and watch some Buster Keaton because he was funny, clever and a mind-blowing stuntman. At the very least watch Sherlock, Jr and Steamboat Bill, Jr.
And Rear Window because not only has Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly trying to figure out if Raymond Burr killed his wife, there are a bunch of subplots going on in the background, like literally in the background of this movie, they all take place in long-shot.
