The Metropolis of the Modern Times

Modern Times and Metropolis are both black and white movies made during the 20th century. Both of these movies were considered silent movies and extremely successful, though Metropolis wasn't successful at first but it eventually caught on. Modern Times has voices and sound effects but the way it was used made it remain a silent film. Like Metropolis, Modern Times use title cards for dialogue; They also used voice here and there though it's often filtered or distorted in some fashion, never truly directly to someone. Despite the usage of voice, Modern Times and metropolis are both silent movies.
