The First Nude Movies

A short exposé on the first movies with nudity and the eccentric man who made them

That's pretty cool, I like that video. It makes sense. Immnot sure I understand why he was filming people/himself nude, but what ever, it's cool.  I mean at that time that was pretty taboo right?
So I guess he really kinda liked being nude or do I miss something


But nice job, good info, I like it....

It's pretty interesting.   I think it must have  been pretty revolutionary for it's time.

Not at all controversial - nudity in the 19th century was quite common.  If you were not wealthy washing involved a stream and a community - even if you bathed at home the water was shared between the family.

Please do not believe that what the history writers recorded was relevant to everyone - they had an eye to how they would be remembered and who their sponsors were.

All historians have biases. I have no doubt that nudity was common in the lives of many in the 19th century, but it wouldn't be unexpected for nudity to be controversial in a public context, outside of bathing.

Even in the 1800 acceptance  of nudity varied wildly depending on  the country and culture of that country.   It's not much different today it seems.

Certainly. That's what I was saying.

Although I knew somewhat about Muybridge before, this video is interesting to watch! It was when the French went around their colonies photographing nude local models to make postcard and literally for research, the Brits and American went into their Victorian prudish attitude.
