like reading a wonderfully written drama and/or romance

Rating: Null/10 (26 January 2012)

yes! i did feel like reading a well written love story with black inked words on white papers. when you read a novel, it's soundless and silent, all you have is an inner sound, inner voice of your own. when a story well crafted with nice storyline, scenario, plot and well edited, the inner sound of your silent voice will become so clear to be heard by you. by watching this black and white almost voiceless movie that only come with sound track background music, i was moved deeply, and heartfelt touched just like reading a good romantic novel. the male actor is one of the best french male actors who i have enjoyed to watch him playing different roles in the french movies. choosing him to play this role is one of the best casting jobs that movie industries really showed how the casting agency indeed is very important to the success of a movie. this movie also reminded me that george valentin actually open the door for the later Broadway shows and musical movies and also created big opportunity for those Hollywood dancing stars. but none of the later male actors could surpass his achievement. people would also like to compare him with charlie chaplin, but i think it's a wrong comparison, just like orange and apple, the looks and the tastes were absolutely different. i just couldn't believe that i have completely been intoxicated by this silent movie. it's a quite unique and delightful experience.
i wish this movie could win many Oscar awards.
