most of these silent pictures are about 100 years old now.....they look and feel like they were made on a distant weird planet by marginally intelligent stick man aliens....they seem to lack art, subtlety, charm, grace, confidence and story. That is not a criticism. But they are hard to watch and seem unrelated to any kind of recognizeable human experience. The Roaring 20's had a zillion interesting new ideas and people but none of them found their way onto the big screen.
@wdobni I'm sure they didn't appear the way you protray them to the people who watched them '100' years ago..I find a lot of the silent films very interesting..I guess you had to be there..
