Silent films are not very interesting to me although they are well put together. I think silent films aren't very interesting to me because of my generation and how technologically advanced the movies are nowa days. An example would be avatar... How can Charlie Chaplin compare to explosions, special effects and things flying at you in a surround sound theatre, it can't.
On the other hand I think silent films like Charlie Chaplin and The Great Train Robbery were very well written for their time. I think if I was growing up in the silent film era I would have loved them, just like I love movies in this day and age. The movies just weren't interesting to me and I think I can speak for the wrest of the class when I say they weren't intresesting. Not only were they soundless, they didn't have much of a plot to them. I think if they had a bit more of a plot they would be more interesting, but no sound and no plot equals a pretty boring movie. The music that they play in the films isn't even exciting, which is also another factor that makes these films so boring.
In conclusion I think silent films could be a lot better than what they were but for their time they weren't THAT bad.
