Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early silent films did not rely on spoken language, making them accessible to audiences who did not speak English. This included many working-class and immigrant audiences who may not have been fluent in English yet. Additionally, the low cost of admission (often around 10 cents) made the movies accessible to those with limited financial resources. While some early films did feature working-class actors and exotic locales, these were not the main factors that made silent films appealing to these audiences.
