The Artist

The Artist is a mostly silent film. There is one scene where they talk and its a really good scene of the movie. What I have to say about this movie is this. It sets out to give people who love film history and film in general a good reason to go to the movies now. It looks great and has really good story. I very much enjoyed the film. It is a love story and it is also a drama about how sound changed film. The acting in the film is really good but if there was talking it wouldn't be because its over the top acting so you can understand whats going on. So for this film it is good but others just ok. What really shines in this film is the Direction and Cinematography. This film is one of the best shot films of the year there so many beautifully done shots and scene thought this how movie and the reason why the Direction was so good in this film was because it has to be. If the Director didn't know how to tell a story just thought imagery this film would have failed   The only movie that i saw this year that may have it beat for best Direction and best Cinematography is drive which is still my favorite movie of the year( since the year is over). Now this film I think will win the Oscar this year for best film and best Director. So if you like old movies and history watch this movie your time will not be wasted.

RATING
4.5 out of 5 Ticket Stubs
