You may be right. During the 'stay at home' period there were a lot of videos made of young people listening to music made before they were born and they filmed themselves reacting to what they heard. Many of them had a whole new world of music opened up to them and were greatly impressed that the music was made with no computer aid, just using, y'know, voices and musical instruments. I would hope that a lot of silent films are crazy enough to catch the attention of the young. For a single example, think of the genius of Buster Keaton in the tornado scene in the 1928 film 'Steamboat Bill'. It's like a weird fever dream and astonishing to think such scenes were made with no green screens, just careful planning. The tornado scene: https://youtu.be/j8tIRYH3qxk

Don't get me started on Laurel and Hardy...
