people loved silent films because, let's face it, there were no movies with sound in creation at the time, so the silent film was a big enough step into the future. it was like the ipad. when the first ipad came out, no one cared that there was no 3G, eveyone bought it because it was so cool and revolutionary. then when the ipad 2 came out, everyone thought the first one was obsolete and not as good. also with silent movies, when they first came out they were so cool and new everyone wanted to see one. once the invention of movies with sound was made, it made silent films look bad
