Visually stunning, innovative, experimental, poetic, brilliant etc. Sunrise is not only the greatest silent film ever made, it's arguably the greatest film ever created on American soil and is undeniably amongst the greatest films ever made directed by one of the greatest and most influential directors to ever live, F.W. Murnau.

With all the visual and audible restrictions back then, can you imagine what Murnaus movies could have been like in modern times

@josephalbanese I know right!!! He takes her out and says he's sorry and she's all oh that's fine, let alone the fact that you had an affair and tried to MURDER me (which would by the way leave their child basically an orphan because he was gonna just gonna leave) it's all cool now, we've taken a photo of us kissing.
