1920s Movies: Not as Quiet as You May Believe
The greatest silent feature films were made throughout the 1920s, but they came to an abrupt end in 1927 with the introduction of “talkies.” Two of the others that were made are included here. You shouldn’t be alarmed by the concept of “silent” movies because they aren’t actually quiet.

A Week (1920)
Director: Buster Keaton (brief) Like Chaplin, Buster Keaton received funding and unrestricted creative freedom to produce a number of original comedic shorts. The intricate set piece, which somehow becomes more and more complicated as the movie goes on, is what made Keaton so brilliant. The plot revolves around his getting married and having a week to have a house built. rather funny.

Maurice Tournier, director of The Last of the Mohicans (1920) The most accurate Last of the Mohicans to ever appear on screen is this one. A stunning silent picture that perfectly reflects the spirit of the novel, and one of the greatest love stories in American history.

Detective Buster Keaton (short) – Cops (1922) Keaton’s most well-known short film is this one. It’s amazing how many extras there are dressed as police officers. An absolute joy. Watching for free on YouTube is the finest option.

Potemkin, the Battleship (1925)
Sergei Eisenstein, a Russian director of motion pictures Many people consider Eisenstein to be the master of “montage,” or editing. The Russians had less film material after the Revolution, so they frequently experimented with what they could shoot. This movie examines a wide range of intriguing narrative and editing strategies. It is an interesting film, but like many Soviet productions, it has little to do with real events. Note: There is a graphic scene in the Odessa Steps where the guards fire into the crowd, and there is a shot of a woman who is shot in the face and dies. Though it could seem unsettling, it’s not quite realistic.

Director King Vidor’s The Big Parade (1925) tells the tale of a wealthy and naive young American who enlists in the military, witnesses the atrocities of battle, and develops feelings for a charming French girl. gives a realistic portrayal of the war’s conditions and the impact it had on actual people. A masterpiece.

The Rush for Gold (1925)
Director: Chaplin In his quest for wealth, the small tramp travels to the Klondike and finds himself in a lot of amusing situations. Among Chaplin’s most iconic moments are his incredible shoe-preparation for supper, his struggles in a snowstorm, and his erroneous romantic sequences. Actually, there were two versions: the 1925 original and a subsequent version that had narration after sound was added.

Director Buster Keaton’s The General (1926) is arguably his best film. It narrates the narrative of a young train engineer who saves the day repeatedly during the Civil War with unflappable grace. One of the most well-known pranks ever performed is plunging an actual train into a river.

Douglas Fairbanks directed The Black Pirate (1926). Fairbanks was the first action movie hero to perform all of his own stunts and is unmatched in his dazzling good looks and dapper demeanor while swashbuckling his way to victory. Fairbanks portrays a man seeking retribution on a pirate ship for killing his father in one of the first “color” movies. a great time.

Sunrise: Two People Sing a Song (1927)
Director: F.W. Murnau This is the best silent movie ever created, if not the best movie ever made period. It is one of the most poignant stories ever adapted for the big screen, showing how adultery destroys a marriage and how true love and repentance can heal it. This film, as one critic pointed out, could never have been made during the sound era; the main reason it’s so amazing is that it’s wordless. [Warning: while not graphic, the opening scenes show a man having an extramarital affair with a rather passionate kissing and affectionate relationship between an unmarried couple.
