The Silent Movie

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.
