silent movies always have a sense of expression which i find lacking in the regular ones. For one point the viewer becomes more involved in interpreting what is happening not by listening but by observing. This one is a marvel .. got to look for it somewhere.
Somebody once said that it seems absurd that talkies evolved from silent pictures, it should have been the other way around. I think it was Lilian Gish, but I'm not sure.
And you're absolutely right, one does get more involved, maybe it's because the concentration is 100% on the visual, but somewhere way back in the head one is still making up dialogue to the movie.
