Would You Go to See a Silent Movie?
The annual San Francisco Silent Film Festival is coming my way in July and it'll take place at the beautiful and charming Castro theater (which comes complete with an organist who plays spirited tunes just before the movies start). It's a great, old place to check out some great, old silent films.
If you think about it, many children's cartoons are like silent films — all expressive movements and grand reactions and not much dialogue, if any. Now as an adult would you seek out a silent film if it were playing in a nearby theater?
