In Reply to: RE: "Asphalt:" are you violently opposed to watching silent films? This gem from Germany posted by tinear on March 09, 2011 at 11:28:03
Life in such a time. Its taken some time and persistant watching to develop the patience and discipline that my immersion in present day culture will not prevent my attending to these films.I watched "The Last Laugh" over the weekend. Murnau directing Jannings who loses his prominant job as Doorman at a posh Hotel beging demoted to Washroom Attendant..
It really was difficult to find the patience to sit and watch these very old silent movies.
This particular film has a very nice modern score which may have contributed to keeping my interest through the whole film. I approached them initially for historical intertest and found some kind of new sympathy for the brevity of human life as I watch these ground breakers creating the new world of Film making.

nothing else.
You shouldn't have any trouble with "Asphalt." It moves very well. And the portrait of old Berlin is priceless and fascinating.
