Sound encouraged people to think of the cinema as a kind of realism which of course it isn't.
I would dearly love to make a silent movie.
I am not sure Murnau would have survived as a filmaker in sound, I read somewhere that he felt the ideal film would eradicate captions and let the pure image tell the story.
