I don’t ever wanna hear again about The Jazz Singer because it’s one thing to be an gimmicky experiment in sound and pictures which is the only significant thing about that film but its another when we’re talking effective early use of sound in cinema, Lonesome deserves that spot in history for how it uses sound to aid its storytelling. 30 or so minutes into the film, we’re introduced to two characters who have so much in common, live in the same city, go the same subway train, by modern standard it’s clear these two are just set up to meet and fall in love, every intimate detail points to their connection and the moment they meet, just when you think it’ll be simple and sweet, THEY START TALKING and that’s when it clicks. This is the first time we hear them talk, in the same way this is the first time they meet one another and simultaneously we’re able to occupy not just both perspectives but the cinematic transcendent viewpoint that makes cinema the immediate artform for the senses. Subsequent usage of sound sees the two love birds reaffirms and promises one another their love only for it to be threatened by the elements that seemingly earlier had just brought them close together before revealing one more profoundly magical joke on all of us that we just can’t help but fall for. Easily one of the most direct, visceral and vivid depiction of fresh love you’ll ever see, so innocent but so powerful all the same. Yeah, this is what love feels like at its purest most romantic form.

I actually was stressing when I thought they wouldn't find eachother. Yeah some of the concepts are a little backdated , but that was the time period. The editing techniques used tho were not , the overlays were brilliantly used.
