1. The Goddess Athena
Chinese Cinema.
From and acting standpoint the film entitled The Goddess that we watched during Thursdays class was absolutely incredible. Silent films have always amazed me because of the amount of depth that is required to exist within each character during every single second they are on the screen. Unlike in most movies today where words act as a crutch to move the audience and actor along the plot lines at the same time these films had to rely on the talent of the directors, actors and cameramen alone.
As a result of this "crutch" being taken away the audience must get the entirety of the film form an actors facial expression and movement. The difficulty of this I'm sure is astounding. Today's actors are trained to present grief, happiness, anger and confusion while lacking words this in it's self is rather difficult to begin with. I can't even begin to fathom what it must be like to be able to express all of that much more in a single shot. .
Sometimes I feel as though scripts dumb down an actors job, this is not to mean that the writing is dumb in fact I say it to mean if the writing is wonderful the actor's job is usually much easier as their performance is enhanced by the writers words rather than the talent of the actor. Silent films bring a harmonious blend of plot and performance, which is rarity in the current selection of popular American films.
Goddess is a perfect example of this the director was able to catch the feelings of the film with beautiful city shots of crowded streets and close ups of actors faces. The actress who played the lead was able to show every emotion happening in her body with just her posture and facial expression and the minimalist words on the screen were enough to drive the plot foreword while not taking any attention away from the heart of the film.
