Silent movies were the first movies invented, in the 1890s. People in the USA and France liked looking at moving pictures better than still photos, so they invented movies. Because of the difficulty of matching sound with picture, most films were silent until the end of the 1920s when The Jazz Singer (with Al Jolson) was released.

Silent movies were made because the technology at the time did not allow for synchronized sound with the moving pictures. The invention of the phonograph in the late 19th century paved the way for sound synchronization in movies, leading to the decline of silent films by the late 1920s.
