The Artist is a compelling homage to the silent movies. It is not the kind of movie that will please all crowds. I liked it because I am a fan of movies and found valid the attempt of the producers in making a silent movie. The story line is quite silly, but delivers some goods.

The actors are so good, mainly the duo Dujardin/Bejo, both can express the gestures and expressions of the silent era. I agree with all the awards the film has been getting recently. I'm not sure it will get the Oscar for best picture, but I'm pretty certain that Jean Dujardin will get the statuette. I recommend this film for everybody.

INn a Nutshell: The Artist is a worthy seeing picture because it has a good story and a good cast. It's a black and white movie and it is silent because it pays homage to the 1920's movies.

I watched this movie on television a time or two long ago and really thought it was very interesting. It shows the consequences of a rape from another point of view. In this case, the husband (William Devane) suffers from the raping of his wife (Jennifer O'Neil). It's a psychological drama with good performances. I remember a very tense scene in which Devane talks about the rape of his wife and starts to cry. That crying scene is amazing, the best I've ever seen. He starts telling the story and slowly the tears fall from his eyes and it's impossible to say that he's acting for it's too real. Don't miss it if it's on television.

The Farrely Brothers did it again ! One more good comedy for their list. I don't understand people saying this film is bad, cruel or something. This film is great, has a lot of funny moments, terrific cast and a rocking soundtrack. Who wants more than 1 hour and a half of pure fun, laughs and weird moments. The story is simple: Eddie (Ben Stiller) is a bachelor who finds what seems to be the perfect girl. He marries her only to find that she's a living nightmare. Later, he meets another girl and wind up falling in love with her. That's where the fun begins when he gets into a terrible mess with his wife and his new affair. The film is not politically correct, but fun don't have to be correct. Fun is fun and is meant to make you laugh and the film truly deliver the goods. If you are too moral about wedding, loyalty, good manners, please don't see this movie cause you probably will not like it. The ending really surprised me. I thought it was going to be something like sweet and warm. Instead, we have a real life, non-moral type of ending.
