Movies Silentlyさんのイラストまとめ

Long story short:

Silent era audiences liked the same suspense cliches that modern audiences enjoy.

"Give me back my daughter!"

"Stop that heist!"

"Run from the mad killer!"

"No, not that way! Now we're trapped!"

@JRBloomfield I believe he got introuble for plagiarizing the scene from Augustin Daly's Under the Gaslight... which featured a fella tied to the tracks!

Modern Movies: "Those silent movies and their melodrama villains!"

Silent Movies: "Don't look at us! The Victorian stage!"

Victorian Stage: "Are you kidding? We heckled them!"

Hot potato, hot potato

TIL there was serious anti-Dachshund propaganda during the world wars due to the breed's noted German ancestry.
