I thought this movie was really interesting. One thing that I thought was really well done was the music. I'm someone that really thinks the music is really important in movies and shows and I think it can really elevate scenes. That is exactly what the music did here. Since there were no voices in the movie it would have been really easy for me to get bored, yet the music had me engaged throughout the whole movie. One example of this was with the reveal of Cesar the Sonumbulist, and I really how the music built up, and then stopped for a moment when the door opened and he was revealed. I also like how the music played when his eyes opened.
An addition aspect of the film I thought was unique was the dialogue. It's cool how the directors adapted without the technology we have now and how they used so little dialogue but were able to communicate what was happening effectively. One way the dialogue did this was with how they introduced the names of the characters. I don't know if it is just me, but so many times when I watch a movie today I could watch a whole movie and forget most of everyones names. I didn't have that problem here, and maybe it has to do with me reading the dialogue as opposed to hearing it, but I knew who was who which was interesting.
All in all this film is very interesting and I can see why it was so important for its time and why it is relevant today.
