| Re: Silent Films
This is an interesting thread Foxbat - thanks for it. I don't know whether the Laurel and Hardy "piano" film was silent but it has to be one of my favourites. One thing I sometimes do when watching a "non-silent" movie is click on the mute button. This shows me two things. First, just what excellent actors the silent movie stars were and, secondly, just how good or bad the speakie movie actors are. With no sound, it is sometimes very easy to see how bad some of the acting actually is - very unnatural. |
