Silent films are movies that were produced during the early days of cinema, typically from the late 19th century to the 1920s, that did not have synchronized sound or dialogue. Instead, these films relied on visual storytelling, title cards, and musical accompaniment to convey plot and emotions to the audience. Silent films often featured exaggerated acting, elaborate sets, and creative use of camera techniques to capture the audience's attention. This era of filmmaking laid the foundation for many cinematic techniques still used today and produced some of the most iconic and influential films in history.
