my first impression of the unknown be make within the first ten minute of the movie . there be an old quotation represent a picture be worth a thousand word . this movie be a tribute to this quote . be a how my previous experience with silent movie be spotty at best and i be impress with how the actor portray alonzo and nanon and malzabar be able to effectively use nonverbal communication in order to get their point across to one another . although the cast itself be small and a couple instance of plot line be a bit iffy and the movie still keep me in anticipation of what be come next . the unknown combine the element of romance and mystery and tragedy and suspense quite nicely to make a picture that would in my opinion still be worth watch even today . the only change that i would make be have the actor speak instead of have word project onto the screen . another modification i would make be to perhaps change a piece of score or two . otherwise and a wonderful film and great example of how less can be more in the film industry .
