For a silent film, I give it a thumbs up. I was surprised by the biblical influence/reference/plot within the movie. For a futuristic movie that is almost a hundred years old, I think it has come the closest to predicting the future. I also find myself amused at the style of acting during the twenties.
For a silent film, I was engaged to the end. The use of lightening, sound, and action was well balanced. Each scene perfectly set up the next and left you wondering what would happen next. The analogy of the Tower of Babel was surprising, but well played. I watched this film about ten years ago but enjoyed it as if it were the first time.
ReplyDeleteI was actually pretty surprised at how technologically advanced this movie was for its time. There was also really good coordination in scenes like the workers going to work after a shift change.
