The Wolf of Wall Street (1929) is today believed to be a lost film. The only part of the movie known to still exist is this brief montage sequence created by Slavko Vorkapić.
What's intriguing is that even a century ago, the perception of Wall Street remained unchanged: a predator, a untamed force causing destruction, often seen akin to a wolf in the financial landscape.
A small but incredible shot! The Wall Street building, absorbing the capital (the factories/transports), and shredding money at the same time as a machine. It's beautiful!
It's mesmerising
It looks like it’s spitting out ticker tape, i.e. stock valuations, not shredding money
Absolutely incredible composition
Really makes you wonder exactly how they achieved this at that time.
There really was so much expression in silent movies. This is awesome.
A place to share your favourite silent film gifs.
Please use the following title formatting, when posting: · Film Name - Director/s (YYYY)
How to upload? - Right now Lemmy.world (and other Lemmy Instances) don't accept gifs uploads. Convert your gif to apng or webp to upload (you can use some online and offline programs). Please try to keep the files small.
How to see? - Gifs in 'apng' won't play automatically in some instances in webview and you need to open the image in a new tab (they do in Voyager for example). Gifs in 'webp' format should play fine in webview and in most Lemmy apps.
