Conspiracy, loneliness, shock, isolation, suspense, secrets, paranoia, to describe these feelings, these states of mind would need lines and lines of words and in a film would need long scenes, full of jokes and dozens of different types of shooting. Or maybe not. The video When Words Fail in Movies shows us a series of scenes from famous films that show how sometimes silence can better express the concepts and emotions of words.
In addition to being a functional trick for professionals, from screenwriters to actors, this method increases curiosity and interest in the viewer. If you don’t believe it, next time you watch a movie be careful when you laugh or cry, I’m sure that in those moments no words will come out of the mouths of the characters.
