0:00.0 | I'm not going to listen to this. |
0:02.3 | Ray, you're chanting. |
0:03.0 | I'm not going to hear this now. I think documentary, I mean, the very first films were, in a sense, documentary, quote-unquote, right? |
0:31.7 | I mean, Lumier brothers in France photographed the Daily Life in a way. |
0:35.5 | They photographed the train coming into the station. |
0:37.3 | They photographed workers leaving a factory. Godard the train coming into the station. They photographed |
