I have just seen "The Artist" and I liked it very much. It has some creative inventions like the genial part where, during a couple of minutes, suddenly there's sound, though not "speaking". The speaking mouths, a bit later, add to the dilemma. Wonderful. Superb acting as well.
Superb technics to convert to a really Silent Age movie. Original the thought.
Then I went through "User Reviews" and I noticed all good reviews got 0 out of X were helpful.
Now if someone dislikes a movie and has serious reasons to formulate higher objections against it in a comment that makes sense, I respect that, but just going through all positive reviews and clicking "Was this review helpful?", "No", that's vandalism. So I went through them and I clicked "yes", to give some counter weight, but this is the way live is in 2019, I fear. Don't bind value to TripAdvisor reviews, or stars for that and that place, or anything else "validated by customers", it's all anonymously paid for or just plain resentment.
