Jessica Angela, Sullivan (JessicaSullivan1974) The Director Michel Hazanavicius wanted to show the audience by telling them the story of how the silent era became talkies. In the beginning of film, we see George Valentin retrained, the title slide that reads ... I won't talk! I won't say a word! ... This is a clear indication of a person (or a film company) refuses to accept change into modern era of technology - using sound. = Changing of the times. At first, I almost believed this was Based on Ture story, in way it is. About the industry. End of the film The reason why Michel Hazanavicius wanted to included sound and dance is to show the being of a new cinema era. My own view I quite enjoyed it, I did like how the technology of using wipes, such as Inside of Circle of scene, while outside circle is blackout.

cricketbat I wanted to like The Artist more than I did. I love silent movies and I was excited to see this Best Picture winner. However, I may have built it up too much in my mind. It's enjoyable, but it didn't grab me like I expected it to. The cast does a great job, the visuals are beautiful and I love the references and homages to the silent era. The story, however, is overly simplistic and it seems to drag. It may have been my fault, though, I watched it when I was tired -- never a good idea.

ruby765 This is a silent movie, so basically background music to an orchestra accompaniment seems to tell the story. Only gesture and sounds can give us a powerful impression.This movie shows an old tradition vs. a new thing, like an old star vs. a new star. It tells us this is life. Sometimes something like that a woman who a popular actor advised to be a good actress becomes more than him ironically happens in our daily life.I'm blown away by the changes of the relationship between the old and the new. A dog's performance is amazing, too! Moreover, I learn two things. Firstly, everyone, even the stars, experiences frustration or discouragement. The second one is that it's not good for us to get big-headed.

dissident320 I had this movie on my watch list for at least 5 years but I never got fully persuaded to watch it until now. Funnily enough it took hearing a podcast talking about how it had been forgotten to remind me. And maybe it does have that forget-ability built into to movie but that doesn't mean it is without charm. It's a simple enough story of movies transitioning into the 'talkies' from the silent era and how a man doesn't know how to change with the times.Being a silent movie the visuals and music is all you get so initially a bit jarring. But quickly I found the viewing experience to be engaging in a different way than seeing a modern movie. It enjoyable as a true film rather than just being an homage to that era of film.It is worth seeing despite it quickly fading from the public's memory. It's a fascinating movie but probably only worth one viewing. Sorry George.
