Abstract :This essay looks at the ways in which silent film conventions have been re-employed in modern movies. It is particularly concerned with the ways in which directors manipulate the audience’s preconceived ideas as to what to expect from silent films. This point is exemplified through a casestudy of Martin Scorsese’s film Hugo 2011
