A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

. . . for starting the fad of having troves of life-saving tomes in nearly every American burg and hamlet. SUNRISE, a far more important and watchable film than WINGS--its fellow first-ever "Best Picture" Oscar winner--clocks in at about half of that bloated fiasco's running time. SUNRISE is set in a fishing village which lacks a library and access to such cautionary tales as novelist Theodore Dreiser's AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY. This leaves unread innocents such as the first-ever "Best Actress" Oscar winner in SUNRISE totally at the mercy of vixens "in the know" with access to big city libraries and Dreiser. One such deplorable harlot nearly succeeds in talking a naïve farm boy into committing AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY-style murder. The spotlight shown by SUNRISE upon these dangers posed by a lack of libraries inspired philanthropist Dale Carnegie to begin his nation-wide crowd-funding drive which placed "Carnegie Libraries" in hundreds of often rural locales across the USA (many of which are STILL open for business). Carnegie's library campaign--prompted by his favorite flick, SUNRISE--was such a success that it inspired his best-seller self-help book, HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE.

The camera movement in this film was surprisingly very complex, as well as the set design. There was a scene in the beginning of the film where the room looked very lopsided, like a silly house in an amusement park. I actually, thought that was a very artistic choice. Also, there was a tracking shot right after that scene which starts off super wide then becomes almost medium with little to no camera movements at all. For a silent film, I thought that was very impressive.
Aside from the cinematography, the story was also very interesting and something that I would have never thought to make a movie about. The issue of infidelity but having that flipped so that the man falls more in love with his wife and so decides to not to cheat I thought made a really good statement.

Compared to what I am used to for silent films (comedy), this was definitely different. Very well done however like most of the silent films. Had great drama to it, had a love story to it that was unexpected. Had some bits of comedy to it still but overall was all about the drama and love to the story rather than doing some quick little funny bits like others. Felt all the emotions coming from the film just like as if it was modern, if not better than a modern film. Overall a really great film I would say, must watch if you can get a hold of it.
