“The best silent movie Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. Itu0026#39;s so harrowing and perfectly describes the feelings Iu0026#39;ve had about death, life, love and especially hope. Itu0026#39;s optimistic ending makes it even stronger. I cried when I saw this movie the first time, which was the day after my grandfatheru0026#39;s death.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHe once told me this was the first movie he ever saw, in a cinema, to which there was a 10 kilometers walk in the snow. The cinema used to be so crowded the humidity got so high the walls were completely wet. Naturally I had a lot in mind that day. It wasnu0026#39;t the first time I saw the movie, but the first time I experienced itu0026#39;s meaning completely. Iu0026#39;ve never seen any silent film like this and that itu0026#39;s silent actually makes it scarier.”
