all the round one polls are over!!! huzzah!!🥳🎉🎈🎂🍾

Hooray! Round 2 will be up on Monday.

Also, before anyone wonders. I've decided to take Gish and Cooper out of the bracket, because Birth of a Nation is an explicit hate film and Gish and Cooper's careers feel inseparable from it. I'll be replacing them with Fay Wray and Jennifer Jones as the women with the closest ties. For everything else, I'm sticking to the same rules I always stick to: it's up to you to research + decide if morality matters to your vote. I cannot adequately research every single candidate and every single issue, so removing these two is a rare move for me, and I hope this is the last time in this tournament I have to.

However, since this is an international bracket and I'm not aware of every woman's filmography, there may be other contestants here who took part in explicitly hateful propaganda films + showed no second thoughts about it (the second thoughts part is important). If you are aware of someone who took place in a film during our era that was made for the sole purpose of inciting violence and was as clearly and explicitly hateful in its intentions as Birth of a Nation, please send me a link to the film (if possible) and some backup material so I can review for myself and decide on a contestant's inclusion. If you can't provide the problematic film for me to see for myself or any conclusive evidence of the harm it directly caused, I will not remove a contestant; I don't operate on hearsay and I don't have time to do your research for you if you can't provide proof. If I see trolling about this, instead of honest discussion, I will block.

I spent a lot of time reading up on BoaN to make sure I made a decision I feel solid with, and my sources are under the cut.

Sources:

The Birth of a Nation: Media and Racial Hate by Desmond Ang

How a racist film helped the Ku Klux Klan grow for generations from the Economist

The Birth of a Nation: the most racist movie ever made from the Washington Post

The Legacies of Lillian Gish from Inside Higher Ed

Where to Begin with Lillian Gish from the BFI

Lillian Gish: should a great actor be judged by a racist film? from the Guardian

A Public Menace: how the fight to ban The Birth of a Nation shaped the nascent civil rights movement from Slate (this was my favorite of the articles and I think gives the best historical context for where BoaN came from, how it was made, and what its consequences were)

The movie itself, which I'm not linking. I watched enough of it to make up my mind, and it is its own best argument for being a film too intolerant to support in any measure. Hope everyone understands.

"인종차별주의를 둘러싼 이 영화의 악명이—호기심에 의해—관객들을 더 끌어들인 측면도 없지 않지만, 이 영화가 누린 엄청난 대중성은 흑인들에 대한 그리피스의 가정들이 '동시대 백인들의 상당수에 의해 공유되었음에 틀림없다'는 점을 시사해준다. (중략) 분명한 것은 「국가의 탄생」이 불러일으킨 격렬한 항의와 이 영화가 거둔 엄청난 비평적·상업적 성공은 그만큼 이 영화가 미친 사회적 영향력 혹은 그 영향력에 대한 우려가 크고 명백했다는 것을 말해준다는 점이며, 특히 단순한 분노가 아니라 '분노를 일으킬 만한' 혹은 분노를 일으킨 그 만큼이나 컸던 이 영화의 성공은 앞에서 언급한 것처럼 영화에서 표현된 그리피스의 국가관과 인종관에 명시적이든 암묵적이든 공감하는 이들이 많았다는 사실을 시사한다는 점이다.

「국가의 탄생」의 경이로운 성공은 분명히 그 영화가 '1910년대와 1920년대 격동의 미국이 더 단순했던 과거로 돌아가고 인종적 순수성에 기초한 단순화된 미국적 정체성의 관념으로 돌아가고자 했던 욕구를 향해 발언하였다'는 것, 그리고 그 발언이 결코 무시할 수 없는 반향을 얻었다는 것을 시사하는 것이다.

그럼으로써 최초에 민주주의적 예술로 상찬되기도 했던 미국 무성영화는, 민족 공동체가 수평적 연대성이라는 자신의 이념을 현실에서 자주 배반하듯이, 적어도 인종의 정체성 정치의 측면에선 자신을 향한 그러한 기대를 곧 배반했던 것이다. (American silent films, which were initially praised as democratic art, soon betrayed such expectations for themselves, at least in terms of racial identity politics, just as national communities often betray their ideology of horizontal solidarity in reality.)"

-주은우, 2006년, 「미국 무성영화와 백인 국가의 탄생-국가의 탄생과 초기 미국영화 속의 인종 정치-」, 미국사연구, 24, 한국미국사학회, pp.99~100,109

Propaganda

Anita Berber (Eerie Tales, Lucrezia Borgia, Different from the Others)— So much of her film work has been lost (fuck you, Hitler) and she died in 1928. But was she hot as hell? HELL YEAH! She could rock up in drag [link] Rock out in her swag [link] She was wild and wonderful, openly bisexual and apparently her favourite drug was "a bowl filled with chloroform and ether that she’d stir with a white rose and eat the petals." This article covers how amazing she was: [link] Every paragraph of it is 24 carat gold - SHE WAS AMAZING. Otto Dix painted her portrait (and it is glorious): [link] She was utterly gorgeous: [link]

Miriam Cooper (Evangeline)—some of the prettiest eyes in film

This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

12 aprile … ricordiamo … #semprevivineiricordi #nomidaricordare #personaggiimportanti #perfettamentechic

2022: Gilbert Gottfried, Gilbert Jeremy Gottfried, comico e attore statunitense. All’età di quindici anni, Gottfried cominciò a fare il comico stand-up a New York e, dopo pochi anni, divenne piuttosto noto. Nel 1980 il popolare programma Saturday Night Live venne riorganizzato con un nuovo staff e nuovi comici; i produttori avevano notato Gottfried e lo assunsero come membro regolare del cast.…

"나는 여기서 나도 남부인이라는 것을 덧붙여두고 싶다. 그러나 남부에 직장을 가진 사람도 아니고 남부에서 장사를 하고 있는 사람도 아니다. 좋은 넥타이도 매지 않았고, 앞 챙이 처진 중절모도 쓰지 않았다. 프록코트도 안 입었고, 셔먼 법에 의해서 손해를 본 목화 상자의 수에 대해서 이의를 신청하지도 않았으며, 씹는 담배도 쓰지 않는다. 교향악단이 '딕시'를 연주해도 나는 갈채하지 않는다. 나는 모서리에 가죽을 댄 의자에 비스듬히 앉아 또 한 잔의 위츠버거 주를 주문하고는, 롱스트리트가 그때 좀더 버티어 주었더라면 하고 생각하는 일도 있지만, 생각해봐야 무슨 소용 있겠는가?"

-오 헨리, 인생 스케치, 오정환 역, 동서문화사, 2003, pp.205~206

"I desire to interpolate here that I am a Southerner. But I'm not one by profession or trade. I eschew the string tie, the slouch hat, the Prince Albert, the number of bales of cotton destroyed by Sherman, and plug chewing. When the orchestra plays Dixie I do not cheer. I slide a little lower on the leather-cornered seat and, well, order another Würzburger and wish that Longstreet had—but what's the use?"

-Henry, O., "A Municipal Report," Strictly Business, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2018, pp.67~68
