This is on my top 5 of silents, though the exact position is undecided.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-17181573309181045472014-08-27T07:09:32.499+03:002014-08-27T07:09:32.499+03:00Janet Gaynor, along with Greta Garbo, was one actr...Janet Gaynor, along with Greta Garbo, was one actress who could transition from silent to sound pictures because she was a good actress. What makes this film great, however, is its cinematography--along with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Sunrise ranks right up there as the greatest filmed silents ever.Kimberly J.M.

Maybe an odd comparison: 10 years ago the old cathode-ray television peaked in their twilight with monstrously big sets, fantastic resolition and colours and all the whistles and bells. and then they were all gone, replaced by flat screens and nobody would dream of getting a cathode ray televison. An entire tecnique washed out. I don't know if the analogy hold entirely, but for some years after that change I prefered the old sets rather than the new ones the same way that the late silents are preferable to the early talkies.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-44329679789633421592012-06-28T00:14:00.366+03:002012-06-28T00:14:00.366+03:00It seems, across the board, that most people find ...It seems, across the board, that most people find the city sequence a little clunky. So you're definitely not alone on that one!<br /><br /><i>During the movie I was wondering about the title. At the end I realized that it referred to rebirth, which was a fitting symbol for the story, but hardly a fitting for a movie that marked the ending of an art form.</i><br /><br />Very nice observation. Very sad that silent film peaked the very year it was ending.siochembiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487373396181856763noreply@blogger.com
