97% The Artist

The Artist I don't know how to say it, pun intended, but The Artist is by far one of the best movies ever. With no words to describe how amazing this movie is, I will try my best to scribble all the great things that make this, one of the best movies out there. George Valentin (Dujardin) is a silent movie star. However, with the arrival of talking pictures, this famous movie star's life is bound to be changed. The movie essentially touches upon the dichotomy of the old and the new, the clash between traditional vs. advanced, and on top of that a beautiful romance. Honestly, it is merely impossible to describe how good this movie is. It's uniqueness and experimental ideas are breathtaking. Michel Hazanavicius is Godly in this film. He treats every scene with so much care, and every shot in his film is perfect and cannot be changed. Not only due to his originality, but also to his artistic sense, Hazanavicius is able to magically create a movie, that unlike a 3D film, has all dimensions. In his simple, yet complex film, he is able to take a plain and easy story, and turn it into a vivid and intricate movie. He is able to touch upon many themes but in his subtle way. However, what is best about him is that he takes risk; he uses techniques no other director has used before and I very much appreciate that. The story of the film is somehow simple, however it is like a roller coaster with ups and downs that will make you laugh and frown. The movie is able to touch the audience in every way, and with its simplistic lack of words we are able to enjoy the movie in a way we haven't enjoyed movies in a long time. Jean Dujardin, is brilliant; I have never seen him act before, but just from this movie I can honestly say that he deserves every award out there. The role he takes is by far one of the hardest role to take nowadays, and he does it wonderfully. As for the other actors in this movie like Bejo and Goodman they also have their moments.The sound of this movie is fundamental, hence the score has to be perfect, and it is. Every scene has a song that is able to run down your skin and your bones, and touch your heart. The music controls your heart, it can make it go faster and it can make it go slower. The photography of this movie is also mind blowing. In only black and white, this movie develops some of the most beautiful photography ever developed in movie history. The cameras are playful and every image projected gave me goosebumps. Therefore ladies and gentelmen, don't miss out on this movie. This is by far the best film of 2011, with some exceptions, and one of my favorite films of all time. It's uniqueness, simplicity, and beauty makes this movie unforgetable. George Valentin : "With pleasure"
