A Trip To The Moon (02)
Birth Of A Nation (15)
*Some movie about an American Indian Lady with an actual cast of Native Americans...I cannot recall the title

I've seen Trip to the Moon and really liked it. I haven't seen Birth of a Nation. The racist content that I have heard about turns me off and makes me hesitant to watch it.

It's an interesting time capsule into the way people thought 100 years ago...
I watched it for a history class and it's about as racist as it gets

ETA: The KKK are actually the heroes!
It's pretty surreal

I get impatient with silent movies. I never been able to figure out why more of the dialogue couldn't have been added to read.

Moving pictures were totally a new thing back then. People were mesmerized by the fact that pictures now can... move! Minds were blown!

Think about it, who would want to read some text while experiencing such a visual onslaught? They can do that with books.

Perhaps not - never thought of it that way.

The only one I'm really sure about is Birth of a Nation. I've seen several silent films from the 20s but that's the only one before that that I can think of. Just had to look it up and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was released in February of 1920 so that's slightly over 100 years old so I'll add that one as well.
