Have you ever watched a silent film?

You don't need to hear words to feel emotion. Watch Chaplin's CITY LIGHTS up to its final scene and tell me otherwise.

oh my god i'm about to agree with misawa... but i find many silent films far more emotionally interesting than "talking pictures". like i mentioned before as a student of acting and theatre and performance you begin to understand how the spoken word can hinder an actors true ability, and also how it can aid a shoddy actor.

the actors in silent movies have to physically be so much more and it fascinates me completely. but, perhaps that is because both misawa and i have an interest in acting/performance (though from completely opposite ends).

never actually saw one but in drama we saw a trailer for The Artist. I think it came out in 2011. It looked alright.

never seen one because i really think it would bore me..

I've never seen a silent film, but in french last year we watched a french film without subtitles, so it might aswell have been silent :/ people seemed to like the artist, but i'm not sure i would've enjoyed it. Might have to watch it one day
