Absolutely the worst movie.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (1927) Director: F.W. Munrau Watched: April 2018 Rating: 9/10 Unnamed Man and Woman tell an allegorical tale of good and evil, temptations against true love; Loved watching her turn his frowns upside down- Man having a much more austere personality than Woman; Lessons learned that stand the test of time, like forgiveness, loyalty, love's perseverance, and the fact that the best pictures are candid; Despite occasional dragging pace, near perfect harmony of comedy, suspense, romance, and sincerity; Munrau proves that the minimalism of silent films is something to be celebrated and coveted. Gogyohka literally translates to "five-line poem." An alternative to the tanka form, the gogyohka has very simple rules. Five lines with one phrase per line. What comprises a phrase? Eye of the beholder- or the poet, in this case. #Gogyohka #PoemReview #BestPicture #Classics #Silent

With an opening so dramatic and intense, there's no doubt you will witness a great movie. The simple yet very profound story bout love, lust, faith and betrayal "Sunrise" captures your attention from the beginning and it doesn't leave you until the end. It is the first and only Oscar winner for Best Picture, Unique and Artistic Production. With the spectacular portrayal of the 3 main characters played by George O'Brien as "The Man", Janet Gaynor as "The Wife", Margaret Livingston as "The Woman from the City" and directed by F.W. Murnau this movie show that no matter what happens in life LOVE finds a way to overcome everything bad. "The Man" is thorn apart between his two loves - his sweet and simple wife and the woman from the city, who is on holiday. She tries to convince him to kill his wife, so they can run away together. As he struggles with his feelings about both of the women, something turns inside his mind and soul. This is a classic story of the power of true love. This a movie that makes you think about your own life and what have you done for your loved ones. And no matter how bad things could go you can always find a way to make it better. Told and played very accurate, on point with every feeling and emotion showed to the audience, you don't need to hear the actors speak. They have done an outstanding job pouring their inner self to the public. The movie absolutely deserves to be named one of the greatest silent movies ever.

I found this to be a very interesting movie. At its core, Sunrise is a movie about infidelity, and the heartbreak it can cause. The editing is great here, with some very nice cuts that flow between the different scenes well. I also found the use of lighting to be very dramatic, which helped heighten the high stakes mood of the film. There are many scenes where the corners of the screen are darkened, creating an almost circular spotlight on the center of the frame. I though this was a very neat effect and it helped both to draw my eye to the action as well as make everything feel more dramatic. If I were to find fault with the movie, I would say that the character of the city girl is not very well developed. Though she is meant mainly as a temptress to lure the husband away from his wife, I would have liked so see a bit more going on with her. Overall, the movie does a great job at establishing a somber tone that really resonates and I would highly recommend it.

A woman from the city holidays in the country. There she has an affair with a local farmer, a happily married man with a young child. He is besotted with her and the life she promises for him, to the point that, upon her suggestion, he is willing to drown his wife in order to be with her. With the murder planned, he sets the wheels in motion. Will he go through with it?Directed by the legendary FW Murnau, Sunrise is a classic of the silent age. Murnau takes the viewer on an emotional and psychological roller-coaster ride. The revulsion of the thought of him killing his wife, the apprehension at whether he'll go through with it, the relief, the wonderful day they spend together, the nerve-wracking trip home, the despair and elation. A simple linear story that packs in so much emotion, wonder and intrigue.It's not all drama though – there are some delightfully funny parts, eg the photographer's statue, the pig.Powerful, searingly emotional ending.All done with no audio dialogue and minimal written dialogue. It's amazing how much emotion and plot development can be conveyed through gestures and facial expressions.Sunrise was the joint first winner of the Best Picture Oscar, in 1929. That year, and only that year, the Best Picture was split into two categories: Best Picture, Production and Best Picture, Unique and Artistic Production. Wings won in the former category and Sunrise in the latter.Janet Gaynor, who gave a wonderful performance as the wife, won the first ever Best Actress Oscar for a combination of her roles in Sunrise, 7th Heaven and Street Angel.
