I've always found it weird how they can record the music for movies but not the characters dialogue. Oh well.

[jemmasculpt]

never mind that itried to kill you love, have a sandwich

[ConfusedSponge]

I'm hungry! What a waste of that delicious sandwiches. Give them to me. But on second thought, kinda creepy since they are a bunch of 84 year old sandwiches!

[onlyonewholoves991]

Yep lady, you better run for your f-ing life cos your husband'd gone bananas.

[rusheena]

This is hands down one of the best scenes in a movie ever! Just to have all of that depth in one scene without any talking is amazing, and that one line, "Don't be afraid of me!" really brings it home. I also love the vulnerability of the characters in this scene and how it spreads to whoever may be watching. Great movie

He has to regain her trust under the most impossible of circumstance. If he doesn't, he'll be lost... If she can't, she'll be forgotten. Murnau pulled it off with the visual medium of silent film, and I'll still remember how he did it as as from the first time I saw it. Impossible and Brilliant!

[ramenrockxmusic]

i never really watched silent films before......

but now i understand y people like it soo much

i cried the whole 10 minutes in this clip

there was just soo much emotion! even if there was no talking you could feel everything!!

<3<3<3<3

[realmagiclover]

what's that: a man who just has tried to kill his wife .... and then suddenly cares for her ??? That's incredible.

[rloeb]

she should've been pissed off instead..lol but i guess that didn't fit the image of a...."good woman"...

[fjdmusicman]

wow, only half over, what more can happen ?

[cacozzi84]

lovely

In Canada, the 1920's were known as the 'crazy years' because mobsters and malintentioned peoples kept coming across the border to cause trouble. Stuff like this is why they thought of it that way.

[song32290]

holy... I actually teared up while watching this! T-T

[faramir44]

a wonderful little wife,

- loyal, trusting, hopeful, happy, forgiving, adorable

Murnau was a great director. I love his work.

[DonFarshido]

It's not so long ago that I saw this film and I have tears in my eyes when only thinking about the girl's face in these scenes. I have never seen anything quite like this movie.

[trulyinfemous]

@DonFarshido i get tears thinking about that AWFUL wig lol

[lordalessan]

Poor innocent wife, she has no idea what is going on and has to suffer from all this.

[LifeIsBeautiful90]

i really feel it too

[kimcheebro]

The cable car scene is the most moving scene of all for me. The hauntingly beautiful musical score accompanying the cable car scene makes it all the more poignant.

[meandmy2phans]

This portion is my favorite part of the movie - it's amazing that without spoken dialogue (and only a few text cards) I can feel the emotion from each of them so clearly. And I tear up every time.

[pucci1981]

Up to tears...

[pucci1981]

Up to tears...

[MissyHolland]

Heartbreaking. You know JG did the coffee cake

scene for her audition with Murnau, and it

won her the part??

A homicidal husband and unflattering wigs;

and I think i have problems!! LOL

I love the traffic sequence.

[ConfusedSponge]

@MissyHolland What! He wore a wig! Widow's peak?

[aimant1]

Merci pour ce partarge émouvant !

[RubyTuesday717]

It's scenes like this one that make me believe Norma Desmond's line "We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!" Such a heartbreaking, deliriously poetic movie.

[seinfeld1006]

I love that line, and I love this movie. And nice to see another Stones fan. Love 'em too.

[ConfusedSponge]

@RubyTuesday717 Great quote!

[sumayarulz]

This is so heartbreaking...an amazing piece of work...
