"...Black and White films suck, they're boring."

Rating: 10/10 (21 February 2012)

"...Black and White films suck, they're boring."
Yes, sadly. These were the words of a now ex-human being, It's sad really that any film that is 'Black and White', to be tossed to the side or branded as "Boring", During the screening of 'The Artist' in my local cinema, I was bombarded with questions from friends as to why I would watch such a film, I didn't really respond or pay any attention to their arrogant remarks or annoying cackles. Instead, I went to the screening, with a healthy dose of optimism.
Afterwards, I waltzed out of the cinema, with an expression of satisfaction and smugness, in the knowledge that some brain-dead individuals are missing out on a masterpiece. 'The Artist' truly is a fantastic movie. Brilliant acting paired with an unique idea really created this film. Its incorporation of many different styles of cinematography and of course, its classy, vintage theme was a certain breath of fresh air for me. This remarkable spectacle of a movie will remain a favourite, it is certainly a favourite in the eyes of many as well. I recommend it to all, I stress to you to watch it in the cinema first, instead of DVD; it will lose a good portion of its charm on the small screen.
I'm going to give it a 9/10. My only complaint is, after watching the movie, the sudden, heart-breaking realisation that we no longer dress like 'George Valentin' struck me.
