The 1920's saw a massive surge in the number of people going to 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 New Zealand cinemas were 'silent' films. For this task we have to try and figure out what the movie is about and do you think you would enjoy watching a silent film. For this I am doing it on the Lion Cage, this clip I got to watch was hilarious. It is about a man who is being chased by a donkey into a lion's cage, and accidentally locks himself into the cage with the lion. Lucky the lion is asleep on the floor. Here is the clip if you want to watch it.

Hey there Tia, my name is Billy and I am from the Summer Learning Journey programme. It's great to see you are completing activities over your summer break.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your opinion of this trailer and also providing a brief summary of what you think the film is about. Do you think that you could watch a silent film without any talking?
I honestly think that I might get a bit bored, the lack of talking might make me lose interest.
What sort of movies do you usually like to watch?
Thanks, Billy
