Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans (also known as Sunrise) is a 1927 American silent romantic drama film directed by German director F. W. Murnau and starring George O'Brien, Janet Gaynor, and Margaret Livingston. The story was adapted by Carl Mayer from the short story "The Excursion to Tilsit", from the collection with the same title by Hermann Sudermann.
Murnau chose to use the then new Fox Movietone sound-on-film system, making Sunrise one of the first feature films with a synchronized musical score and sound effects soundtrack. The film incorporated Charles Gounod's 1872 composition Funeral March of a Marionette, which was later used as the theme for the television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955–65).
Sunrise won the Academy Award for Unique and Artistic Production at the 1st Academy Awards in 1929. Janet Gaynor won the first Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in the film (she also won for her performances in 1927's 7th Heaven and 1928's Street Angel). In 1989, Sunrise was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry of the United States Library of Congress for films that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The 2007 update of the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films ranked it number 82, and the British Film Institute's 2012 Sight & Sound critics' poll named it the fifth-best film in the history of motion pictures, while directors named it 22nd.

Sunrise is full of impressive scenes, but this is one of the most famous ones in the movie, where the woman from the city convinces her love to try to drown his wife and leave with her. There are some very impressive effects in this scene.
Here we are living in this glorious time Go on celebrating and show ´em your pride Look what we´ve done look what we´ve reached Oh I think no one can see
And what we all do for our luxury Raping the forests and poison the seas I think there´ s nothing we wouldn´t do If the result may be good
Bridge But in the end of all Mother Nature's standing tall From a distance it looks still all right Just when you get too close You can see the overdose And as well the marks we left behind
We all have our wishes, we all have our dreams We don´t see the signs, don´t know what they mean We close our eyes and live further on As the world owns us alone
And so the resources are not rare enough At war they throw bombs on the oil-springs, oh god Is this the end, we´re heading for In anger and fear all alone
Bridge
horus As long the world´s turning, the sun keeps on burning The greed in our hearts will keep us apart The Chance of tomorrow is my greatest sorrow So come on, unite and let the sun rise again
Solo
What is our aim, we´re heading for What is our aim, we´re heading for
Don´t lose the illusion of changing the way Fight the insanity stands in our way Don´t follow the mainstream - resist as you can In future they may understand
How long can we live in those glorious times No one can say when we´ll cross the line Of no return from our point of view And the sun hit the sea the last time
Bridge
