The Artist

There are no words to describe how amazing this film is. But if I  had to choose just one it would be Fantastic!

The Artist truly is one of the most brilliant films I have ever seen. I know in almost all of my reviews I tend to say that, however this film is unlike anything you have ever seen.

For those of you who don't know, this is a silent film like they used to make way back in the 1920's.

When the film started off it was a bit different I won't lie, of course it was due to the complete silence.

However I noticed that after a while even though there was no dialogue, the story had no trouble being told because the acting was outstanding! Each scene was mesmerizing.

The Artist takes place in the late 1920's and is about George Valentin, a silent film actor who has a falling from grace when the motion pictures turn into what was known then as talking films.

Deciding that he wants no part of the change that has come to the silent films, George decides that he will continue on the legacy of silent films and make one of his own.

But on the eve of his silent film debut, one of the first talking films is being released and it stars non other than Peppy Miller the up and coming star who is about to take the talking pictures by storm.

George then loses everything including his credit as a silent film actor and almost gives up on life itself, that is until he meets Peppy who helps him transition into the new faze of stardom.

This movie recently won a Golden Globe for Best Picture not to mention Best Actor in a lead role which I will say was well deserved.

I would highly recommend this movie to anyone.

A+
