A sad insult on the era of Silent Films

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2012)

It should be titled "The Emperor's New Film". Contrary to what some of you may believe, the actors that lived in the time of the silent films actually did speak, could hear sounds, and the world was actually in color. For a movie to accurately portray their lives and how they were affected by the advent of speaking films it would have to represent their real lives, not the result of what their lives would have been without color or sound. To appreciate the films of the silent era, you watch those films. To create a farce such as this to feed the arrogant intellectuals that have so much power in the movie industry and the presentation of paid for awards is insulting to the people that truly appreciated the art of the silent era. What is next? Will we go to a theater to see a blank screen and a sound only version of a film representing the real lives of old time radio show personalities? This was just an insulting attempt to show that today we can make a better silent film than they did originally.
