About This Movie
What Would You Do (1920) has this really intriguing setup; a man fakes his own death after selling fraudulent stocks. The way it explores the entangled lives of its characters is quite gripping. The pacing is methodical, typical of the silent era, but it adds to the suspense. You have the wife who remarries, only for her new husband to become incapacitated and seek death. There's this palpable tension when you realize the complexities of love and sacrifice at play. Visually, there's an interesting use of shadow and light that heightens the drama, and the performances, while silent, convey deep emotions that resonate. It's a fascinating study of desperation and moral dilemmas, distinct for its time.
