Definitie & Betekenis van "silent movie"

What is a "silent movie"?

A silent movie is a film that does not have synchronized spoken dialogue. Instead, it relies on visual storytelling, such as acting, gestures, and text cards, to convey the story and emotions. Music and sound effects are often used to enhance the mood and complement the on-screen action. Silent movies were the norm before the introduction of sound technology in cinema and are known for their unique style and expressive performances.
