The Birds

This movie is probebly the most unrealistic film i have ever seen. However, the movie was very suspenceful and the acting was good. The ending was stupid it just ruined the whole movie. I felt that the story was not finished, and that movie could've ended better.
The most scariest part of the movie was when the main actress goes upstairs and gets attacked by the birds. That part of the movie just scared me to death, also when the mother goes and sees her father, and then she walks into his house and sees that he is dead and he has no eyeballs. However i didn't like the editing in that scene. I felt that music would've been better and more suspenceful in that scene.

Twentieth Century

I love 20Th century. I love how you see that the actress started off working for Broadway then she made it into Hollywood. Then she marries her boss and then they had a divorce because he was paranoid about her cheating on him. I loved the acting, epically John Barrymore, he used his hands to a lot as he spoke. One scene in particularly that i liked was when he is trying to get over Lily but she is plastered everywhere and he starts to flip out and goes crazy. He starts to throw paint all over the poster. That was probably the most over exaggerated scene thought out the movie. Also when he tried to teach Lilly how to scream and he stabbed the needle into her leg. The story is a typical i cant live with you cant live without you movie. The reason why is because you see that Lilly trying to forget him but she still has the needle that she gave her when he stabbed her. Also when he tricks her that he is dying and his last wish was for her to sigh the contract and she does because she loves him and doesn't want him die unhappily. The ending is really funny because you see Lilly going from this high class actress to back where she started. The only part that i didn't like was that old guy plastering propaganda all over the train i thought that part was unnecessary. The story was movie would've been fine without him.

The Penalty

The Penalty is probably the worst silent film ever created. The music was horrible, the main character was extremely weird and the plot was confusing. The actresses all looked the same and the acting was terrible, along with the main character that had no legs and wanted to concore the world. The ending was awful how he woke up from a terrible dream that he was some psycho. The film was just terrible the music gave me a headache, it was un entreating and stupid.
The only part of the movie that i did like was the how suspenseful one scene was, when the actress found a secret passage way through the fireplace by stepping on a random brick. I honestly thought that the leg less person was going to come out of no where and stab her to death. Also how in different scene's the color changed, because in today's era you don't really see that much in movies. The leg less person was extremely disturbing by his substitute legs. The way he would walk so other people could feel sorry for him, and then kill them in the end was just disgusting. The music was TERRIBLE!! I felt like someone was hitting his head over a bell over, and over again. Especially during the suspense full parts the music kept repiting itself and it got louder and louder i felt like i was in hell. I could not stand this movie. I hope that I will never see this movie again.
