The first film with synchronized dialogue, also known as  "talkies", was The Jazz Singer, released in 1927 and starring Al Jolson.  The protagonist is a devout young Jewish man who runs away from home to pursue a career as a jazz singer, which conflicts with his home life and heritage. The film is controversial due to the depiction of blackface, which was prominent at that time but is now considered racially insensitive by many.
