It was so brilliant in so many different ways. Great acting, characters you will fall in love with, music that really should be in the top billing as a character in the movie, dialog....
well... there is no dialog,
and to see it on a big widescreen screen in full color...
well it's in black and white not in widescreen.
This movie is The Artist and is a story about a silent film actor from late 20's. When you say it's a silent black and white film I can see how that may turn you off but trust me it works and you will reach a point where you don't miss the dialog. People always talk about no original ideas in movies and in a sense this isn't an original idea either because it's basically a silent film from the 20's, it just done to perfection. There are so many scenes I wanna talk about but I don't want to spoil it for you, go in without knowing more than I've already said. I will say that I love the sound of a film projector and with this movie it added that extra layer to it that I will definitely miss when I watch it in my living room.
If you are still on the fence: the dog in this movie should have been nominated for best supporting actor.
Really hope you seek out this movie and that you will enjoy it as much as I did, plus as a bonus when it wins best picture at the Oscars you can say you actually saw it (admit it you never see the best picture winner).
