Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927)
is another one on A film from the 1920s, released in 1927. There are a lot of classic movies from that era.
The name of the film also has a subtitle: The Love Song of Two People, and the film tells such a story. In a small village, a woman who came to the countryside for a holiday from the city was very flirtatious and seduced a married man. The women in the city wanted to live with this man, so they encouraged the man to murder his wife. The man who was bewitched by the women in the city tricked his wife into a boat, trying to strangle her first and then throw her into the water, creating the illusion of drowning. But the man was reluctant to start, but the wife found out his intention and ran away very sad. The wife fled to the city, and the man chased after the city. After some apology from the man, the woman forgives him. The two of them started playing around the city, the barber shop, the photo studio, the playground, and they had a great day. On the way home, there was a storm, and my wife fell into the water and her whereabouts are unknown. The plan to murder his wife looked like it was going to happen, although the man didn't want it. He thought it was very painful to lose his wife. Who knows, she was retrieved with the help of an old man. The husband and wife lived happily ever after, but the woman in the city left in despair.
This film is warm and touching. Although it is a silent film, although it is a black and white film, and although it is a film released in 1927, the theme of the film, love, is still touching. The film revolves around the changes in the lives of a married couple. The betrayal of the man, the sadness of the wife, the happy and happy play of the two, and the pain of the man losing his wife are all empathetic. Like the opening subtitles of the movie, this song may never happen, or it may happen all the time. In fact, to put it another way, this song happened in the 1920s, the same song happened in the 21st century, and it will still happen in the distant future. Love will not disappear because of the change of the times. As long as there are people, the love song of two people will be sung from time to time. This movie is not out of date now, nor will it be out of date in the future.
The content of the film is actually very simple, and it is based on ordinary life. Getting a haircut in a barbershop, taking pictures in a photo studio, and playing in an amusement park is no different from our current life. Although there is no such barber shop around us, and we will not go to the photo studio to take pictures, the love shown by the ordinary couples and married life is still moving. Many small details in the movie are very warm, such as the wife paying for the man during the meal, the man in the barber shop arguing with the man in the hat for his wife, and the small farce in the photo studio, etc. Through these small details, you can really feel the moving part of love.
Since this film is a silent film, it must have the kind of funny and funny scenes. Although this film does not have as many laughs as Charlie Chaplin's films, it also has its own characteristics. What impressed me the most was the scene where the little pig was drunk. It was a real little pig. The scene where it was drunk after drinking, swaying from side to side and unable to stand on its feet, was very cute. I really admire the director of this film. How could he train Xiaozhu to be so obedient? Could it be that Xiaozhu was really drunk? And the part about the man helping the woman get clothes, it was hilarious. The women's clothes are very interesting. The left side is dropped and the right side is dropped, as if deliberately mocking the gentleman. It made the gentleman impatient, and he simply dragged it down for you! The unlucky gentleman did this, only to be slapped in the face. In short, the writers and directors use their own way to make the audience laugh, no less than Charlie Chaplin's film.
The actor George O'Brien has little information on the Internet, but he looks very handsome after his haircut in this film. The heroine is Janet Gaynor, I don't know if I don't check the information, I'm startled when I check it. It turned out that she was the winner of the first Academy Award for Best Actress, and she also starred in many well-known movies. It turned out to be an amazing actress, disrespectful! The other actors in this film are all just playing tricks, let alone.
This is a romantic film from the 1920s. Warm, touching, and rich in elements: conspiracy, betrayal, trust, regret, and this hilarious scene, and the long-running farmer dance. All in all, it's a well-received masterpiece that's worth watching. After watching a lot of old movies, I realized that movies are not divided into eras, colors, sound or silent. A good movie is a good movie and can be circulated for hundreds of years.
