What? I cant hear anything!

I have a gripe. It is in the form of silence. In my view the silent film ended when sound came along. I can only think of a hand full of reasons to not include sound in a modern film. One would be if the film were intended for the deaf. Another would be if the person making said film had not possible way to get a sound recording done and can not borrow the help of any one who could help them out in adding sound to their film.
Other than that, you negate life in a film with only silence. Silence is not the opposite of sound, a void is the opposite of sound. From the moment a baby cries to its last breath, it fills our world with sound. Mr. Bogner said something along the lines of seeing our whole lives and the importance of sight. But why do we look around? Because we hear things that cause us to look and observe. I believe sound plays as big, if not a bigger role in film.
