The Silent Movie 
The 1920s saw a massive surge in the number of people going to the movies. Huge new cinemas were built in both Auckland (The Civic Theatre) and Dunedin (Empire De Luxe). The most popular type of movies showing at local NZ cinemas were ‘silent’ films. Gold Rush and The Lion's Cage are examples of iconic silent films. They feature a famous actor named Charlie Chaplin.
Watch the trailer for Gold Rush or The Lion's Cage. On your blog, tell us what you think the movie is about. There are no words spoken movie so you will need to pay careful attention to what the actors are doing! Do you think you would enjoy watching a silent film? Why/Why not?
Hi I am doing the Lion's Cage. At first I thought it was gonna be funny cause how the pony was chasing him but instead he ran into to the lion cage and locked himself in there. It was funny because he thought that the lion was gonna eat him but he didn't. I was chocked because I thought the lion was gonna eat him.
