Review: The Artist
Feb. 22nd, 2012 07:51 pmLast night my friends and I went to see The Artist. I really enjoyed it. If you like the Art Deco era (the film covers 1927-1932) with its fashions and cars and architecture, you'll probably like this film. It's about the coming of talkies to Hollywood and has an artsy quirk: it's filmed like a silent movie! :)
( Spoilers )
My friends and I were drawn in and had a great time. Marco Polo is a history nut like me, and BunnyGirl liked the unusual presentation. She especially loved the dog! ;)
The film is nominated for ten Oscars, including Best Picture. I've only seen three Best Picture nominations this year: this film, Moneyball and Hugo, which was also about silent films. I highly recommend that movie, too! And Moneyball as well. It was interesting, more so than I thought would be the case about baseball stats, but it's more about how to build a team when you don't have the deep pockets of the Yankees and Red Sox.
The Artist has a good shot of bringing home the Best Picture gold statuette. It's the type of film that Hollywood loves to award Oscars to! ;)
