I love his 2 ox powered plow !! Funny thing though, when they go to the city later in the film it's just a short boat and trolley ride away..Guess there weren't any suburbs built yet
I study both film production and theory. The area I have concentrated my studies in theory and history are in the silent cinema. When people ask how I can possibly watch a silent film, I tell them to watch either this or The Passion of Joan of Arc. A truly great film.
Hi bellaq87 -- I know you posted this comment months ago, but if you haven't already found a copy, the best way -- and the only "official" way, since Fox has for some strange reason never sold it by itself -- is to get the "Studio Classics Best Picture Collection", which is available used on Amazon. You can sometimes find just "Sunrise" used there too -- but it's always a copy that comes from the box set, and it often costs more than the entire set! The disc has this score, and another one, too.
Truly one of the most beautiful and touching films I've ever had the honour of viewing. I dare say that I seldom weep, but during this film, I did so twice. At the church scene and at the very end.
Such a magnificent film about love and forgiveness, I feel lucky to have been given the oppertunity to see this wonderful creation. A definate 10/10 from me.
