Very Good

Rating: 8/10 (5 November 2013)

This was a very good movie. I think a lot of the success this movie had was due to the fact that it was done as a silent film which got it a lot of hype, most films aren't black and white any more obviously and nobody does silent much so when it did these things it got a lot of attention, obviously especially in Hollywood because they go nuts for any movie that's about Hollywood and movie making in general. It's amusing to me that the movie was all about Hollywood and set in Hollywood but made by the French. Also this movie is not a silent film! A movie is either silent or has sound and this movie was not silent for the entire film, the last scene has sound and dialogue. I know that is picky but a film can't have any sound at all in my mind if it is a silent film. I also wish there were more scenes with John Goodman and that he got more attention for his supporting role. The actor deserved the Oscar win, the lead actress was great too, and the film deserved winning for best picture, but it was also a weaker year. This movie was very good but not the status of great.
