Rebirth of silent films

This is my objective rating, which is actually somewhere between three and four stars. Of course, this black-and-white silent film is not recommended for those around me, because I also mustered up the courage to enter the theater, but the brilliance of the film has exceeded my imagination. The unique attraction of silent films still makes me feel the charm. In the process of watching the movie, I have been thinking about it. It is completely possible to keep black and white silent films as a film form. The Oscars can also set a separate award for silent films, because I think the performance of silent films is very different from sound films, just like a stage. The pantomime performances in 2008 rely entirely on the actors' exaggerated body language and rich expressions to mobilize the audience's emotions. In fact, this requires more solid basic skills, while the sound movies and the special effects that are flying all over the sky are more lost by post-production. The actor's performance should be the first. Of course, I will never deny the importance of today's film actors and the performance talents of excellent actors. It's just that silent films can have their own living space as another form of performance, and I also believe that through film The company uses the current technical means to improve, and silent films will definitely win a certain market. We should not just pay tribute to and cherish black and white silent films, but let it be reborn.
To be honest, when the sound came out at the end of the movie, it was really noisy and awkward.
