Mesmerizing

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2012)

I have to say, I was a bit apprehensive about watching a silent movie in this fast-paced age without being bored by the lack of dialogue. And I was even more worried about watching it in a cinema full of other people who might be bored by it (even in case I wasn't) and would annoy me to no end by talking the whole time. Wow, was I proved wrong. It took a little getting used to in the beginning, but after that I was hanging on the characters' every not-spoken word. I was completely drawn in by the two amazing leads who managed to take me through quite a range of emotions. It was funny, exciting, and so thoroughly entertaining, you could have heard a pin drop in the cinema at certain times because people were just completely enthralled by the movie. There was collective held breath at some point when not just the people but the movie had also gone completely quiet. Great story, amazing acting, just altogether brilliant. This is something that really can be called art.
