Silent Films

Well, where to start with silent films. Silent films are more universal for any one so long as they are translated, for all I could have know that was a French silent film - in that aspect it was good. Furthermore they require a new way to watch the movie. You have to constantly be on your toes to pick up on the not so frequent texts. It was fun hearing about how, unlike many medias like writing, we can see the date of creation of the first ever film. Having an opportunity to see the things that amazed people more than 100 years ago is fascinating. However, the silent films we watched all seemed rather morbid. They were all packed with some type of adulterous actions and or death.  Even the one that looked promising about the ballet dancer, ended up having a morbid death ending. All in all it was a great new perspective into film and I hope for more.
