The first work of the famous German director FW Murnau to the United States to shoot, won the first Oscar for best actress, two golden awards for best photography and a special award-the art quality award. This film marks the highest artistic level of the silent film era, and is also the pinnacle of German expressionism (although in theory it should be considered an American film). Even today, it still has a strong emotional appeal. "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans" is shrouded in soft light and rich poetry. This film adapted from a German novel has a distinctive German style: the variability of the lens and the angle of view, the effect of subjective photography, and expressionism. The expressive technique of the movie allows the viewer to be sure that this is an undisputed classic film in the first few minutes of watching it. The two different worlds of city and country have been dealt with by FW Murnau genius. The inner world of the characters echoes with the outer world. The characters appear in different places in the city and the countryside with different moods. They are expressed in different ways. The change becomes part of the interpretation of the character's heart. The actor's grasp of the characters is very measured, showing the different characteristics of the main roles: such as men’s overwhelming and dilemma; the wife is moving and weak; the city woman is the ultimate loser, and she herself seems to be irresistible. Fooled by Destiny's fate-ingeniously blended with the style of the film, in the first Oscar, "Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans" won two awards-Best Actress Award (Janet Gayner) And the best photography award, and the special award-the art quality award.

An extramarital love story that is so plain at the beginning can be so magnificent in the latter part, until the end of the sublimation. City and country, lover and wife, murder and rescue. Wife killing (aversion to rural life) and wife saving (transcendence return to the original order of life), deduced the most common negation in life. The film also successfully demonstrated the hidden killing and forgiveness in love. Being a human being is as complicated and as simple as possible.
