Are they worth watching for people used to contemporary cinema? Or do they feel too outdated to enjoy? Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolis for its time, still looks astonishing. I agree. Silent films definitely still hold up today, but they require a different kind of attention and appreciation. Movies like Metropolis and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari have a timeless quality because of their innovative visuals and artistic vision. While the storytelling and acting may seem a bit exaggerated or slow to modern audiences, the atmosphere, expressionism, and sheer creativity can still leave a lasting impact. It's a bit like appreciating classical music or fine art. It's about understanding the context and the pioneering work they represented in their time.
