Wilberforce: You mean, they once made movies that had no sound? Brutus: Yes, in the early twentieth century, they made silent films. You had to read captions to know what the actors were saying. Wilberforce: They made you read the movies? No fair - that's too much like school!

And you don’t need to be a mind reader to know what Brutus is thinking after a comment like that.

My favorite actor of all time: Harold Lloyd. It is amazing how much they could communicate in silent films with so few title cards.

Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Lillian Gish, Rudolph Valentino, Maurice Chevalier, Fatty Arbuckle; need to dvr some silent movies from TCM. They always show them late Sunday nights; really late. :((((

I imagine Wilberforce has never seen a FOREIGN LANGUAGE film, with translations in captions, which he would have to read in order to follow along. Those kinds of films are still made today.
