Yes, this was the first movie with sound. Get over it.
So, there is talking, but there is much more to this film than the parts
which have dialogue. The relationship between the eponymous jazz singer
and his father is much more engrossing than hearing people talk and
there are scenes which, even today, are heartbreaking.
The role of a traditional father, loving mother and radical son are all
played and shown due respect in their positions as they do so. The
familial bonds and breakdowns in "modern" society is, and will continue
to be, the strongest point of this film.
