Movie Afternoon!

Spoiler Alert. Do not read if you ever plan on watching this movie.


This afternoon I watched Sunrise. I've had this movie for a while but haven't had a chance to watch it until this afternoon. This movie is about a farmer who falls for a lady from the city. The lady from the city convinces the farmer to downed his wife and move to the city with her. The man takes his wife on a boat ride ready to kill her when he stops himself, and falls back in love with his wife. The couple go on there own adventure in the city. On their way back to their house, they are caught in a terrible storm and their boat capsizes! Leaving the man believing his wife really has drowned!! The man then, believing his wife is dead, almost strangles the woman from the city, for putting the idea in his head of killing his wife. While the man is strangling the woman from the city, he hears shouts from the towns people saying the wife is alive! The lady from the city, goes back to the city, and the man and wife live happily ever after. The End.

I thought this movie was very good.This movie was a silent movie made in 1927. This was my first silent movie to watch. Throughout the movie there a few cue cards but not many. You really had pay attention to what was going on. It made for an interesting experience!
