Richard Roeper's Reviews - The Artist Review

DoctorHello Says:

Dec 16, 2011 - The Artist is a magnificent film with a big heart, and a brave filmmaking attempt by the director, producers, actors and everyone involved in creating it. This film is a strong reminder of what cinema in its pure and simple (and not simplistic) form can do and give to an audience, that is the magic of motion picture!Side note: After seeing the amazing talented dog in the film, one could well say, who needs a CGI dog anyway.

Jan 27, 2012 - I think this is the first silent film to be nominated for best picture or any Oscar for that matter

Jan 28, 2012 - It's used as a way for the audience to get inside the mind of Valentin. Valentin's world is silent and we are introduced to him at a turning point. Hollywood is going to the "talkies" and leaving Valentin, who is prideful and unwilling to change, to the wayside. It is only when Valentin puts his pride aside and accepts the new way of things that the audience is able to hear the characters speaking.

Jan 29, 2012 - In addition to Valentin's "Pride" which is alluded to several times in the film, we are privy to his insecurities about letting the public hear him speak and at the conclusion we discover what could have been causing that fear.

Feb 14, 2012 - not exactly. the very first silent film to be nominated for Best Picture was "Wings", the first Best Picture ever in Oscar history. "The Artist" is the 2nd. Close, though!

AmrVamp Says:

Feb 20, 2012 - Does any1 know what's the name of the musical piece at 1:37 ?

AmrVamp Says:

Feb 20, 2012 - I haven't seen the rest of competing performances yet , but after seeing the film I feel like hating the academy if Jean Dujardin did not go home with the golden statue.

Feb 26, 2012 - Insanely good movie. Awesome to see a silent film about a silent him star struggling in an audible movie industry getting nominated for so much. It really says something about our society, and our opinions toward art. My only qualm with the movie was that the story borrowed too heavily from Singing in the Rain, but aside from that it was great.

NostalgiaBob Says:

Mar 8, 2012 - Absolutely incredible film from start to finish. Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo were amazing.

lukebccb Says:

Mar 9, 2012 - @AmrVamp: It's called "Almost Martyrs" and it's from the movie Life of David Gale.

AmrVamp Says:
