The best thing in 3D times

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2012)

In a world where movies are converted to 3D just because this is the new trend, where we hardly see any hand-drawn animation, where acclaimed directors start using 3D, a black-and-white, silent (2D) movie really stands out. I can only imagine how Martin Scorsese must've felt at the Oscars.
The Artist is a wonderful film, highly emotional, funny a lot of times, enjoyable and technically well done. It is definitely worth watching: amazing performances, great story, stunning visuals and magical music. The fact that the movie is silent, makes it even better, because sounds and silences have a way deeper meaning this way. (You can't really eat popcorn to this film, though. Everyone will hear your crunching.)
It is a very good thing that The Artist was able to win the Oscars, it's just kind of sad that it failed at the box office.
