hi and hello
saw my 6th best oscar nominated movie today, had the chance to see the artist as it was $6
tuesday. went in with high expectations, don’t know anyone who has seen it but some of the reviews made it seem like one to see. the trouble for me was if i want to read a movie i would rather read a real silent movie or a foreign film. had seen the trap [1922] with lon chaney last night and the artist was no where as enjoyable. there was an obvious story to tell about the times when talkies began and things changed. george the main character was not able to go along. pepper the rising star was and proves she could make it while george having nothing to add to a sound movie doesn’t. over the span of a few years she makes it big and he lives with his memoies of being a silent star. 
the artist was different and brings some fun to the screen, but if i want to see a movie i prefer hearing it and if i want to read a movie i prefer the real thing. the dog was important in the movie, he [i think] was played by uggie and had more screen time then most of the supporting cast. the artist is something different, it was not a great movie for me but it did end better then i expected. all of the other 5 oscar movies were better for me then the artist was. guess i just expected something special and all i got was something that tried extra hard to be to cute and failed. yup. signed: meken47.
