How to use "Silent" in context?
movie fans
It's hard to imagine the world without movies. Weaned on a diet of cinematic escapism, we've come to rely on the moving images to take us on mental voyages of all sorts. Whether it's a tough yet inspiring break-up story, a fantastical adventure, or just a good old fashioned cry fest, movies have a way of touching our hearts and lifting our spirits.
But what happens when our favorite movie stars go "silent"? We can't look at their faces without feeling a twinge of sadness, and those familiar dialogue-free scenes can leave us feeling lost and confused.
