"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 characters: such as men's overwhelming and dilemma; the wife is moving and weak; the urban woman is the ultimate loser, she herself seems to be irresistible Fooled by the fate of the film-cleverly integrated with the style of the film.

Among the nominated films for the first Oscar, "Sunrise" and "Wings" represent the two trends of the Oscars: literary and commercial, and this film marks the highest artistic level of the literary romance in the silent film era. The story of the film is very simple and basically takes place within 24 hours, but under the lens of Murnau, such a simple love story exudes a strong emotional appeal, and Jeanne Gaynor's performance is also a great contribution.

To be honest I kind of like Murnau. Watching such a story of a scumbag washing his whites at such a gossip moment. Teacher: If you guys are really sleepy, just imagine George O'Brien as Ryan Gosling
