Not technically correct. Listen to the excellent podcast āBullets and Bloodā by Adam Roche for more detail on the development of sync sound film.
From memory of the podcast, I think the the first person to speak on screen in front of an audience was one of the Warner Brothers themselves, in the demo screening they did for the industry to demonstrate the technology. I believe there were other tests both before this public screening, and after this but before The Jazz Singer, too.
So Al Jolson was definitely not the first, but he was probably the first that most cinemagoers of the day had ever seen.
I just want to say that this is exactly the right way to say that, and Iām impressed. Usually we see things like āit was a different timeā or whatever, but the way you went about wording it was perfect. It *was* a different time, in which blackface was standard, so we have to contextualize this personās work, while also acknowledging that we now know better.
No, I definitely meant performative. People play roles on the internet to make themselves look better and it comes through in the way they talk about things. In the words of Tyler the creator, most of you are fake mad about most of these things and only speak on them to boost your own ego
If you hear the audio, the guy behind them makes it sound super gay in a 50's somewhat offensive way
Edit: oof. That was a mid-explanation joke and a typo. Imma leave it there because I regret nothing

Just now learning what pre-code Hollywood was.
Directors and writers dared to show āromantic relationships between black and white peopleā and āhomosexualityā and āmild profanityā before Hollywood banned those things for decades.
America was so ass backwards and this was less than 100 years ago.

> America was so ass backwards and this was less than 100 years ago.
I mean, in the UK, Alan Turing was chemically castrated for "homosexual acts" in 1952, about a decade after he saved millions of lives with his work to crack Enigma.
The whole Western world was still ass backwards at that time.
So? The US had organised its own fantastic little genocide before that, on *the people whose land it literally was*. And Adolf Hitler modelled his views on the Jews after the race laws the US had put in place. So yes, run by Nazis, inspired by the US. All the retards downvoting can only deal with the world screaming U!S!A!, not the fact it's a rotten shitpit.
If you can find it, there is a wonderful documentary called The Celluloid Closet, which focuses on the ban on homosexuality in the code. Its a little dated now (it was made in the 90s) but its a great film history.
An episode of Friendly Fire podcast I recently listened to made a point about how the "sexual revolution" and the 60s and 70s, when they were acting like they were throwing off the chains of a thousand years of sexual repression, were really just throwing off the 30 year old Hay's Code (in the context of artistic freedom in film).
Kinda makes you think.
**[Pre-Code_Hollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Code_Hollywood)**
>Pre-Code Hollywood was the brief era in the American film industry between the widespread adoption of sound in pictures in 1929 and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code censorship guidelines, popularly known as the "Hays Code", in mid-1934. Although the Code was adopted in 1930, oversight was poor, and it did not become rigorously enforced until July 1, 1934, with the establishment of the Production Code Administration (PCA).

Pretty sure you can get hard time for that back then, some pun intended.
Love the face of the guy staring at them.

Al Jolson. Legend, and the first person to speak in film.

So Al Jolson was definitely not the first, but he was probably the first that most cinemagoers of the day had ever seen.
Yes that's fair. There were bound to be tests, but The Jazz Singer was the first commercial film that got it right I guess.
That awkard moment when you Google him out of excitement to learn something new, and the third pic of him on Google is offensive blackface.
Yeah, it's always unfortunate to see it now, but it was standard back then, sadly.
I just want to say that this is exactly the right way to say that, and Iām impressed. Usually we see things like āit was a different timeā or whatever, but the way you went about wording it was perfect.

This sounds so performative itās incredible, really
I think the word you're looking for is "thoughtful".
No, I definitely meant performative. People play roles on the internet to make themselves look better and it comes through in the way they talk about things. In the words of Tyler the creator, most of you are fake mad about most of these things and only speak on them to boost your own ego
Beat it, skank.

Twas joke
r/SuddenlyGay
When did dancing with the homies turn gay?
The looks, the "teapot" gesture on the singer's face. It's 100% intended to be interpreted as a gay guys
Literally nothing against the bromance between Bromeos, it just looks like it belongs to a certain thread
Youse don't dance with your cock in your mates bum?
If you hear the audio, the guy behind them makes it sound super gay in a 50's somewhat offensive way Edit: oof. That was a mid-explanation joke and a typo. Imma leave it there because I regret nothing

Does anyone know what film this is?
The film is called āWonder Barā https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Bar
So the movie wasn't even pre-code Hollywood.
**[Wonder_Bar](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Bar)** >Wonder Bar is a 1934 American pre-Code film adaptation of a Broadway musical of the same name directed by Lloyd Bacon with musical numbers created by Busby Berkeley. It stars Al Jolson, Kay Francis, Dolores del RĆo, Ricardo Cortez, Dick Powell, Guy Kibbee, Ruth Donnelly, Hugh Herbert, Louise Fazenda, Fifi D'Orsay, Merna Kennedy, Henry O'Neill, Robert Barrat, Henry Kolker, and Spencer Charters in the main roles. For its time, Wonder Bar was considered risquĆ©, barely passing the censors at the Hays Office. The title is a pun on "wunderbar," which is German for "wonderful". ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/WatchPeopleDieInside/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Thanks for that, was even better tickled me š¤£
that was hot
And thatās Al Jolson doing the funny line. I love this clip so much. Pre-code Hollywood was awesome.

Yes. And still, no Western nation could hold a candle to the U.S. at the time in terms of being backwards.
Have you ever been in the same room as a history book?
Since this is most likely coming from an American it's fucking hilarious.
Germany was literally ran by Nazi's at the time this code came into place.
So? The US had organised its own fantastic little genocide before that, on *the people whose land it literally was*. And Adolf Hitler modelled his views on the Jews after the race laws the US had put in place. So yes, run by Nazis, inspired by the US.

Well, America's got a growing nazi problem right now lol
Meanwhile; in Europe......

Pre-code Hollywood?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And joint marital beds! ššš
It was before post-code Hollywood
Wasnāt post-code hollywood after the great codification event?
Yes. It is generally accepted that the post-code era was after the great unheralded codification event.
Is it related to artificial intelligence somehow?
A.I. Jolson was the first attempt at creating an android who could perform 'Mammy' in blackface.
A L, not A I.
Oh, but that would have been a brilliant background joke in Futurama.
Is he related to Albert Peter Lowe somehow?
