Silent films or Age of Silver Screen are a really important part of entertainment history. A silent presentation doesn't have dialogues, spoken by the actors. The first film was made in 1888, which started the silent era. Movies were the new thing and they presented many flaws. They were easily destroyable and the speed of the show presented was often too slow, or too fast. If a movie is presented too slowly, the film would set on fire. If the movie would be presented too fast, people would get dizzy and complain. To get information on what's going on, subtitles would appear between scenes.
Music was as important as the acting; it gave an emotion to the public. The movie wasn't recorded on the feature, but played on the spot. Usually theatres would hire an orchestra, but in small towns, they had one pianist playing. Many musicians, relying on the silent films got monetary problems after the appearance of "talkies". Some movies were played fast on purpose, in comedies, to make a style. The movie in the silent era that made the most benefits made 10 000 000$ It was called "The birth of a Nation". Because of the product used in that time, it’s been said that about 75% of those movies got destroyed. It’s really to show an emotion without words, and it’s inspiring.
