Silent Movies















Saturday night thanks to Martin's Parents we had tickets to the Philharmonie. Along with Amelia Martin and Mike. Malcolm had been desperate to go to a concert there for some time. This was a concert with a difference it was the silent movie The Big Parade made in 1924 by King Vidor. The music was played by the Orchestra Philharmonique Du Luxembourg. I went for the film Malcolm the music, but shortly into the film you were so absorbed by the story you forgot there was no dialogue or that the music was live it was fantastic.The first half was quite funny American rich boy joining the army the second the realities of warfare and changed lives. We will definitely have to go again next year.
