Brilliant. This creative and imaginative use of silence really shows us what modern films are truly missing out on. The casting was mostly acute, and Michel Hazanavicius was ingenious as he recreated the 'golden age' of Hollywood. I felt the characters chosen and the story told was creative and inventive. All though not all the facts were accurate, cleverly the story could appeal to modern day dim-witted viewers while still reflecting the classical 30's era. Jean Dujardin was absolutely sensational and his acting was all on par and he definitely deserves the awards he received. Berence Bejo on the other hand did not meet the standard that the other actors, director and camera work set. I felt as a main part she was over shadowed by other workers and I was not all impressed. However this did not affect my overall experience of the Motion Picture and my complete recommendations to anyone wanting to see the film. As a summary; The Arist is both and entertaining and proof that they do still make 'em like they used to!
