Hello Wikipedians, I am Chimeric Glider. Before I registered as a user, I edited Wikipedia with IP addresses anonymously on various articles. I enjoy adding new contents and improve this encyclopedia. I understand that it is not always accurate, but arguably it excellently gives a general summary of each subjects, which makes research on the Internet a lot easier.
I generally edit articles on movies, everyday life, books, and a little bit of politics.

Controversial films
The films below may be controversial or propagandistic. I recommend them for their artistic values, however. This does not mean I endorse the all the views presented in those films.
Silent films
I am not a big fan of silent films, as the absence of dialogue kinda irks me. Nevertheless there are several elegant pieces of works in the silent film era that stand out as the classics of that period.
