Rated 07 Sep 2020

Seen the '41 version of this story, and felt even that one had its difficulty in telling the story effective for the right emotional boost. And I felt the silent movie has the same issues. The story is too complex to handle, but I did feel more for the main characters, though because of the silent medium it's even harder to follow the plot(s) and their layers. No denying they tried hard with the source material, but it would've probable been better to simplify it for a easier viewing experience.
