Oh my God did you guys see the movie The Artist? If you didn't then rush out and see it! I didn't think I was going to love it but I did. Oh. And that's Berenice Bejo in the picture above. She's one of the stars.
It was such a great movie. After yelling for the first five minutes, "We can't heeeeaaaaar it....Turn the sound up pleaaaaaasse..." I realized it was a silent film and settled in. And you would think that being a silent film would make it boring but it didn't. It's just a really touching story. But I don't think I would have loved it so much if it weren't for the two lead actors. Just great performances and so likeable.
I think I'll add it to my favorite movies of all time which include: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, American Beauty, Waiting for Guffman, Goodfellas and uhhh...uhhh.. God that's all I can think of now. I'll add some more in the comments when I remember.
Now back to Berenice Bejo. Oh baby. Just love her. But I'm a sucker for women with perfect features, big eyes, face that lights up when they smile and you can tell that they're super sweethearts. And her character has a great sense of humor in the film too. So she's got it all.
Yup. That's my type. Here's another picture of her:
Seriously. Look at that face.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't seen that movie, but I will! Probably on DVD.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful, though.
Sybil - I know. Reminds me of my girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI have heard this movie is amazing and has a 95% positive approval rating, but I just didn't know if I could handle a silent film for two hours, however, if this movie has Dr. Zibbs approval and is rated up there with those other movies you listed, I will plan on seeing it for sure. (I'm pretty sure that first sentence was illegal for being too long.)
ReplyDeleteDespite the great reviews this movie has received, I was wondering if I could handle 2 hours of silence, but after hearing your review, I will be seeing it for sure.
ReplyDeleteTom its so good. I had my doubts. I saw it twice it was so good.
ReplyDelete.
But aren't all the bullets and explosions hard to follow without sound?
ReplyDeleteScope - You have to make those sounds yourself.
