While some people have difficulty imagining movies without spoken dialogue, [[Silent Age of Hollywood|the first few decades of film]] did extremely well without it, to the point that many filmmakers dismissed talkies as a [[It Will Never Catch On|gimmicky passing fad]] or a [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|perversion of real cinema]]. To be honest, they initially had a point considering that film sound recording techniques were very crude in the beginning, making for some really stiffly staged and dull films until the combined talents of artists and technicians solved the problems. Regardless, perhaps it isn't such a shock to learn that, long after the end of the silent film era, many filmmakers and writers still think that silence is, well, golden. |
