Visually stunning, innovative, experimental, poetic, brilliant etc. Sunrise is not only the greatest silent film ever made, it's arguably the greatest film ever created on American soil and is undeniably amongst the greatest films ever made directed by one of the greatest and most influential directors to ever live, F.W. Murnau.
I love this scene. It really shows who his heart really belongs too, though it was corrupted by lust, selfishness, and was going to lead him to murder. He's reminded how much he really loves his wife and why he married her, and love how she decides to believe in him and give him another chance. But I don't know if I could do that so quickly; I'd still be too scared to be around him, lol.
I have never seen George O'Brien before. I had only known that Chaplin and Keaton disdained using title cards except for chapter headings. For Murnau to convey so much through his actors, and his camera is amazing.
Jane Winton, the actress who plays the manicurist, plays in a stack of great films from the '20's, and in just about every she plays a walk-on part or minor role similar to that in "Sunrise", sometimes not even credited in the cast list. Look for her in "Beloved Rogue", "Don Juan", "The Patsy", "Showgirl in Hollywood" & "Hell's Angels". She's like Zelig.
the church scene is so fukn powerful and when they walk through the cars I wanted to stop watching this film cause i said to myself: THIS MOVIE IS TO MUCH FOR ME!!!
Holy crap, when people said they were crying I thought, psh they're just being sensitive, not me! But what the hell?! Why am I crying at a silent movie?!!
The comment about the acting not being 'modern and convincing enough' is a reaction typical of those who aren't quite used to the pantomimic nature of silent film. You have to understand that language first to appreciate it. The example of Dreyer's film raises a useful point -- its use of extreme close-ups, which tamps down the pantomime aspect, will seem more 'modern and convincing' to most people. But comparing its acting style to that of Sunrise is kind of an apples and oranges thing.
Wow, has it really been 2 years? I'd forgot all about this comment, so many grammar errors, lol. I don't know. I think I'd be too paranoid to be alone with him, right after he just tried to kill me. I think a restraining order would come in handy, until I felt safe, haha.
so much ado about the acting being 'modern' and or convincing, how many times have you read in just 1 or 2 pages of posts that the" acting has made viewers cry ?"

My favorite part of the film!!! I love this scene!!!

I absolutely love this film. This was back when silent films were more artistic and "talkies" were crap.
oh. this is fabulous! I love it.

Wow...city streets in the 1920's were pretty chaotic. I wonder how many pedestrians were flattened in those days.
Does anyone know how they did the process shot beginning at around 2:30? Amazing shot from a film full of amazing shots.
does anyone have a link to anything explaining how they filmed 2:32?
the church scene is so fukn powerful and when they walk through the cars I wanted to stop watching this film cause i said to myself: THIS MOVIE IS TO MUCH FOR ME!!!
@2:20, one of my fav scenes in the whole movie :D So cute
It was the bread and flowers that won her over for sure
2:30-3:40...best damn part of the movie
Holy crap, when people said they were crying I thought, psh they're just being sensitive, not me! But what the hell?! Why am I crying at a silent movie?!!
This is kind of like a 1927 version of Fireproof.
I don't understand: how can she forgive him who tried to do such a thing to her... even when he's full of remorse
*finishes watching the clip* Wait I take that back. That husband's still a psycho! Threatening a guy with a knife.
the fresh guy with the moustache = Arthur Houseman! Later famous for playing drunks with comics such as Laurel and Hardy!!
@fjdmusicman not true, she realises and runs away from him. why else would she be so upset?
@s4mth16ngstr24nge He never "tried" to kill her", only "we" as the viewers know this is on his intention..

Maybe if you went for another boat ride with him, you might change your mind.
