Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) Director: F.W. Munrau Watched: April 2018 Rating: 9/10 Unnamed Man and Woman tell an allegorical tale of good and evil, temptations against true love; Loved watching her turn his frowns upside down- Man having a much more austere personality than Woman; Lessons learned that stand the test of time, like forgiveness, loyalty, love's perseverance, and the fact that the best pictures are candid; Despite occasional dragging pace, near perfect harmony of comedy, suspense, romance, and sincerity; Munrau proves that the minimalism of silent films is something to be celebrated and coveted. Gogyohka literally translates to "five-line poem." An alternative to the tanka form, the gogyohka has very simple rules. Five lines with one phrase per line. What comprises a phrase? Eye of the beholder- or the poet, in this case. #Gogyohka #PoemReview #BestPicture #Classics #Silent
This silent film was very artistic and for its time looked very stunning and just caught my eye overall. Offering moments of suspense and tension and other moments of humor and humanity I never found a dull moment throughout the movie even though it was a silent film which I tend to usually find a little uninteresting. Comparing to the film "The Circus" which is the only other silent film I've seen I think I liked this one a little more. The camera work I feel was a little more intricate and the plot was a little lore interesting in my opinion as well. Also the artistic nature and overall look to this film drew me in more as well. Overall great silent film which actually made me interested in maybe seeing a few more in my free time.
This is the best romance movie I had ever seen and I've seen quite a lot. 80 years since it came out in cinemas, the acting is wonderful. There was almost no need for voice cards, I like how the director didn't like using them as going against what was normal and what his image was. Simple story and clean which a lot of movies try so very hard to do these days. I don't want to spoil much but the places in the movie are simply fantastic, I can't get enough of this movie personally. The true essence of Love is displayed and what more could you want? If you want to see one of the Best Romantic films, you must Watch this!
Captivating to say the least. In the beginning, this film bombards you with plot and puts you to the edge of your seat. All while telling a magnificent tale of a dying marriage, adultery, plots for murder, and the rekindling of a forgotten love.The acting was done very well. George O'Brien does a wonderful job of depicting a man broken by society and looking for a way out of the life he's built. Margaret Livingston also does well with portraying the "siren from the city" who, in the end, ends up exactly where she started.In all, I believe the film was ingeniously done and was revolutionary for it's time. With film-making being a fairly new concept (Just over 20 years), and the fact that the first sound film was released the same year, this movie truly cemented itself as one of the best silent era films.
