Topic: Now that we have watched and discussed the film, post your thoughts on the following topic: Silent films were, for many decades, the only way to see a film until the Jazz Singer came alongin 1927 and changed all that. Sound in f1ilm was not accepted right away as a positive change. Many saw it as disruptive. Now - silent films are almost never made, and even when they are - it is more for comedic or nostalgic reasons rather than a way to tell a story. So, now that you have seen a silent film (probably the first time for most of you) - did the lack of dialog take away from the story? So - looking at this film in an honest way - do you feel like the fact that it was a silent film - made it harder to follow the story or was the story just as good without spoken dialog? Be specific on what your opinion is by giving at least two examples from the film that support your point
