The Last Silent Films

Once people began to realize how much sound could be used to change cinema as a whole, the era of the silent film started to fade away. In the year 1928 specifically, more an more "talkies" started realizing from bigger film companies, further pushing out the creation of other silent films. Only about one big actor, Charlie Chaplin, continued to make silent films until the 30's, but later realizing that sound was the next big step for movies. Also with the advent of talkies, most of the biggest names in film, such as Mary Pickford and Louise Brooks,  started to die out because of the rise of sound. However, even though less and less silent films were being made by bigger companies, smaller individual film studios continued to make them until later in the 30's when sound equipment was easier to come by. Even though sound marked the end of an era for films, the silent era will always be looked back on with fond memories.
