Sigmund Freud was very influential to film in its early years. Many film makers made movies based off of his theory of dreaming. Film makers started creating movies through the sleep walkers eyes. The entire movie was like a dream. It was dark and distorted; it gave off an eerie effect. The painted eyes onto their eyelids, to show them "being awake while they are dreaming". It was creepy and brilliant all at once. The fact that they were able to portray something like this in a film with no sound or color is amazing. Its weird to think that Sigmund Freud would have such an impact on film of all things. It created a gateway to new ideas in film making. Some of the best movies come from abstract ideas like these. Painting the eyes on the eyelids to make it look like they are dreaming while sleeping was they type of technologies that they used in order to perceive certain things in their movies. In the early days of film they had to become very creative in order for the audience to understand what is going on in the movie, or what they are trying to act out. Sigmund Freud was a hot topic to early films.
