For the sake of Silent Movies

Rating: 8/10 (3 June 2012)

The fact that the movie itself is silent and beautiful, lets the audience to connect more with the storyline and when the protagonist stands against the waves of change for silent movies against talking movies, one just wishes against reason that the art of silent movie just carries on. What melancholy makes sweet now was not necessarily the same and so the world finally moves on to what's new and exciting. This leaves the protagonist devastated and treading a path of self-destruction. What ensues is nothing new and has been shown before in so many movies. Jean Dujardin in the role of George Valentin is utmost charming and wins audience's heart.
"The Artist" is a must watch movie not for the storyline but for the lost experience of silent movies.
