Another short as fuck movie review: 'The Artist'

So after watching 'A Monster In Paris', I decided that I would go and watch 'The Artist', and my sister decided that she would like to tag along.

As you all should know, 'The Artist' is a silent movie set in black and white and everything, it's made to look old, and it does, the productions and set crew did an amazing job in making it look old and better yet, making the audience believe that it is old. It is set in France in the late 1920's early 1930's and is about, well, an artist. I can't go too deep into the storyline, because if I do, I will ruin it, and it is not a movie you would want ruined by me.

It's a masterpiece and has such good actors in it, even though you can;t hear their voices, their faces make up for it.

The lead character George Valentin played by Jean Dujardin has the most amazing smile I have ever seen on anyone. His smile just lights up your heart and makes you feel so happy, honestly. Go and watch the movie simply for his smile, it is the best thing in the world.

The movie stars a lot of old time actors too, which I thought was awesome. It stars Beth Grant, but she doesn't really have a big role, but seeing her in a movie as a nice person rather than a bitch like in 'Donnie Darko', was a nice change to her type-cast.

It stars John Goodman, the big guy from 'The Borrowers', he also plays mean people and does so in this movie also.

James Cromwell, the dude from 'Babe', the farmer dude? Yeah, him.

Missi Pyle, but she isn't an old time actress, she was in the 2005 reprise of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', and I think she plays the role in this movie as Constance, very well.

It also stars Ed Lauter who starred in 'Leaving Las Vegas', a very good movie.

Malcolm McDowell, as a butler, just an awesome cast of old stars, which kind of shadows the movie is an awesome way.

I noticed that a lot of the older people in this movie, play the roles of servants or maids to the younger main characters, when in their time they were the big shot actors that everyone wanted int their films, which I think places some irony about the movie into your mind.

You kind of have to watch it to see what I mean, but the contrast between the real life actors and the characters in the movie makes you think about the film industry and how it has changed in the last century.

Michel Hazanavicius has made his way up the list of my favourite directors. This movie has made it's way into my favourite movie list also. It's just an all round brilliant movie.

And with that, I leave you with the trailer for the movie, watch the full movie in the cinema and tell me what you think!
