Between F.w. Murnau and Alice guy-Blanche there is not much controversy other than both breaking social norms. Given Maurnau sexuality he was forced to hide his true self for much of his life. On the other hand, Alice had broken many of the barriers that hindered women during this time period facing much criticism for moving up the ranks and taking positions that were male dominated. In contrast, Mabel Normand was very controversial throughout her career: she smoked, drank (mainly gin which was illegal at the time and received it from bootleggers), acted in a very socially unacceptable manner (for the time), was suspected of having a cocaine addiction, suspected of having multiple affairs, suspected of a murder, and suspected of a shooting.

During the silent film era movies were very presentational. What was on the screen did not matter so much as what was happening on screen which can be easily viewed in the usual styles actor's performed at the time. In addition, the fact silent films were not actually silent changes the experience and perspective on these films greatly. In terms of audio their language was that of music, maybe with some lyrics. Lastly, the progressive innovations in editing as time passed significantly changed the structure and our understanding of narrative films (and all of film really) as the order of how we viewed the story changed itself.

# data[].attributes.body
The language of the Silent Film era started off focused on narrative design to engage the viewer, rather than to astonish them. Although these films were categorized as "silent" films, they truly weren't. The only reason they were called silent films was because the technology to record synchronized sounds hadn’t been invented yet. In addition, in larger venues, full orchestras, bands, or organists accompanied these films (so they weren't totally silent). A lot of these films were bland and boring because they did complete scene followed by another complete scene (in completely linear fashion). However, as time has gone on, filmmakers have become more adept at telling stories by using shots and cuts. The film scene has become what it is today thanks to these improvements.

In the silent film area it was mainly focused on the narrative by best showing the actions of the characters and special effects they used back then. Even then it got repetitive making people get a little bored wanting more. There were new ways to show shots and then adding splashes of colors to characters.
