This alone accounts for a lot of the modern dismissal of silent films as primitive, even stupid. Too, the night scenes in silent movies, a blue tint that is actually quite beautiful, was lost in reprints…never mind the question of acting or dialogue; the silent films depended upon visual images even more than today and so we need to start there, when evaluating silent films vs sound presentations.
