A great silent film produced during the Golden Age of Silents. It has some of the most amazing shots you will ever see and the acting is not too melodramatic. If your a silent film fan this is a must see.

MCT:November 16, 2007What a great movie! Having watched "Greed" last weekend, this was the antithesis of it. Where "Greed" was cynical and bleak, "The Crowd" is hopeful and triumphant. While made nearly 80 years ago, the story holds up unbelievably well. The relationship between Johnny and Mary is as authentic if not more so than many screen couplings today. It's a pretty basic story, boy meets girl, they get married, have kids, struggle with tragedy and finances and everything a typical family still struggles with today. And it's all done with a perfect blend of humor and drama. I've been pretty reluctant to watch silent dramas as many that I've seen have been a bit too over the top, but having seen two amazing ones in a row, I'm happily surprised to find such cinematic treats!

The definitive statement on individuality versus the masses. King Vidor delivered a masterpiece that inspired filmmakers all around the world.

My favorite non-Chaplin silent film, the themes are beyond anything that had been dealt with (especially in the U.S.) at the time. Still not available on DVD, but hopefully it won't be much longer.

Wow! Yeah I said Wow! The first 30 minutes has some amazing cinematography or at least I think that is when it is. Scenes I have seen in other films are in this one. Amazing camera angles. great use of space. And it is 4 X 3 ish in aspect ratio and it still has POP for those images. The story is excellent and makes me sad. His ship is coming in, and in the end, does it ever really come in? This movie is one step away from a tragedy. Stop this film 10 minutes earlier and it could be a tragedy or make it go 10 more and it might be.
I still love the film, I give it an A rating. It makes me want to work harder at my goals, very inspiring. Weird inspiration though. Kinda like dream the dream and make sure to go for it. Don't wait for your ship cuz it won't show up on the docks. If it does show up that damn Karma is going to kick up and wack you or your kid with a stick. Cuz you never get something for nothing. The money flows in and you experience a greater loss then is ever imaginable. Yes if you watch this film some if not all of this crazy rant will make some sense. If you never see The Crowd then most of what I am saying is cryptic. Even if you do watch it I am sure I am still cryptic. Great story. Hard story for me to watch. I would watch this film again. -
