Why are talkies bad?

Some critics argue that talkies, or sound films, detract from the artistry of silent films by prioritizing dialogue over visual storytelling. They may limit the range of expression and creativity that silent cinema allowed, as filmmakers now focus more on script and sound design. Additionally, the transition to talkies created challenges for actors and filmmakers who had to adapt to new techniques and technologies, sometimes leading to a decline in the quality of performances and storytelling. However, this view is subjective, and many celebrate talkies for their ability to enhance storytelling through sound and dialogue.
