First commercial talkie film.

Later projects used gramophone records and attempting to keep the film and record synchronized. The patent for sound stored on film was granted in 1907.

The oldest person in the world was born in 1898. Thus, no one alive today was a child when silent movies were the wave of the future.
The first commercial talkie film was the Jazz Singer in 1927. It didn't reach Japan until 1930.

I was watching silent films in Japan in 1922. So far as I know, I'm still alive.

By the way, I still have not stopped learning.
