The Artist is a french romantic comedy drama in the style of a black and white silent movie. It's written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius and it's starring by Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo. The story takes place in Hollywood, between 1927 and 1932. It's focused in the relationship of an older silent actor and a rising young actress, in the moment when the mute cinema fell out of fashion and it was replaced by the talkies. The Artist has won a lot of prizes... and really, I can understand why. It worths.
I watched it some days ago. I love watching movies, so everytime I can, I go to the videoclub and I choose a film. Thats time I chose The Artist. The only thing I knew about this movie was that it won a lot of prizes (inclusive the dog that appears won an Oscar!) In consequence, I decided to watch it and therefore, I would be able to give an opinion.
I think it's a really original movie! It starts as a silent film, I found it very interesting. You can see a lot of symbolism (a thing I love about movies). The Artist is entertaining, funny, dramatic... On the other hand, the actors are awesome. Indeed, they have done a magisterial work! In conclusion, A MASTERPIECE. Everyone who's fond of cinema MUST see it.
For example, some "dialogues" which make me think is this:
Peppy Miller: [answer to question at interview] out with the old and make way for the new, that's life.
George Valentin: [after getting up and gesturing to his chair] I've made way for you.
"I've made way for you..." What a truth! All started with silent movies, so actors and actress of talkies would have to show the due respect to the "old" actors.
Clifton: If you want to be an actress, you need to have something others don't.
This quote reminded me of Johnny... what an obsession! I don't know, but I like very much this quote and it makes me think...
In summary, I recommend this movie to all people who loves cinema!! (or to everyone who wants to enjoy during two hours!)
