I personally think that silent films can be considered good, even now. I think black and white films are great, they make the movie look more authentic and vintage looking, as if you were looking at something that really happened. Like the feeling you get when you look at one of your grandparents old black and white pictures when they were younger, and you wonder what it would be like if you were there and you got to experience the same thing they did.
'Citizen Kane' was a pretty good movie for it's time. I liked it, but I don't think this generation will appreciate it like the people in the past have. Silent Films were the first movies ever made and they are a part of our history. Without them, we wouldn't have the technologically advanced equipment for making the movies we have today. It doesn't matter how many years go by, they will always be here for us to watch whether people like them or not.
'The Great Train Robbery' was one of the better silent films we watched in class. The way they put it together, cross cutting and colouring in some scenes. The people who made it should be proud of what they did for film making in it's time of glory. And the third best silent film we watched in class was 'The Sprinkler Sprinkled'. It was a very memorable comedy.
