Since the Oscars are this sunday I will talk about last year Best Picture's Best Winner, The Artist. This film is so incredibly great because it is the first silent film in decades and they nailed it. It was shocking to see a silent movie in black and white in this day and age but it was beautifully made. It has a silent movie star that meets a young dancer in one of his films. And like Citizen Kane the press that this was blasphemy to have a mega star to be dating an extra. Eventually the dancer becomes a huge star in the "talkies." And their lives are put into different paths. It is a beautiful love story with one of the best directing films I have ever seen.
This film is way too good for this generation. It was a gutsy move to have a silent movie in 2012 but it was perfect. Nobody was expecting anything like this to come out in 2012. It won almost every major Academy Award. This film was so amazing because we are so used to computer generated, green screen films but a silent film is just so simple that can be made amazingly. This film shocked the film industry and brought silent films back to reality.
Grade: 96/100 = A
