Hearing a lot about Sunrise being such a great film, I was excited to see it for myself. Overall I'm happy to say that I thought it was such a great movie, and definitely deserves its place in the hall of fame.

• The thing that shocked me the most was that the whole town was inside a studio. Honestly, this baffles me. It's crazy to think how much money goes in to films, even back in the 1930s! Building an entire village seems like such a waste of money to me, but you can really see how Sunrise was portrayed as a result. I loved the fact it was timeless, you don't get any sense of where it is set. Its just the bare story that could happen absolutely anywhere; Exactly what F.W. Murnau intended.
• I loved the female actress who played 'The Wife', Janet Gaynor, she was adorable! You really got the sense of how young and very breakable she was, and really sweet. It broke my heart when she thought he was taking her out on a nice boating trip and really planned to drown her in to eternity. MEN!
• The fact that it was silent with hardly any words up in between made the movie, for me, even more enjoyable. I think words and cheesy lines flying around for the sake of it would completely ruin the essence of the film. Even an accent or a name could through you off guard. It makes you wonder how many great movies could be made if they were silent nowadays, rather than ruining some great films with naff lines and fake accents.
• With the ending I was a little torn between what I wanted to happen, I couldn't tell if they were going to go for the hollywood ending or not. In a way I think the ending is lovely, but sadly the pessimist within me is screaming 'THATS SO UNREALISTIC..' that they would get back together and all is forgiven. However - I think this adds to the meaning of the story that 'love conquers all' which makes the movie all the more sweeter.

In general, I really enjoyed this movie and think it definitely lives up to its name.
