Finally I agree with the academy about a movie winning an Oscar!

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2012)

This is an experience like nothing else, at least nothing else you would experience these days.
I already watched a lot of silent movies in my life. I've watched Metropolis, Faust, Caligari, Chaplin movies, George Méliès shorts, Hitchcock silent movies, The Man Who Laughs, Nosferatu and other Murnau movies, Battleship Potenkim, Jazz Singer, and a ton of other ones, so I am experienced in the silent movies era.
But I never watched one of these movies in the big screen, so The Artist is my very first silent movie I watch on the cinema surrounded by other people.
And what an experience!! The Artist is a love letter from the modern age to the silent era of movies 80 years after it's passing!
The Artist is gold in an age where shitty productions reign supreme as the most watched movies.
The Artist... is art, pure and simple!
What a movie! What a spectacularly beautiful movie! Well deserved of the Oscar it earned!
Now, I feel complete! As a movie lover all that was left for me was to have the chance to have such a great experience like that in the big screen. Riveting, funny, authentic, beautiful, soulful... GREAT!
BRAVO!!!
