      What is an artist without a personality?

      One is extremely rational and the other is extremely emotional. When a person does it on either side, it is a rare animal on this planet.
      Before, in my short-sighted world, I always felt that bosses were also flesh and blood. They will also love their deployments like us, have collective honor like us, and pursue the joy of teamfighting like we do, until my eyes widen.
      This world is really wonderful and magical. Its wonder and magic lies in the fact that humans of the same race have...

      Gaze is the best trophy

      Banban's achievements in the silent film era seem to have long been forgotten by the world. But now, a film called "The Artist" has aroused people's interest in silent films again.
      "The Artist" tells a story that belongs to the silent film era in the form of a silent film. In 1927, the 32nd year of the birth of film art, people used to watch silent films in theaters, and the band played soothing or exciting music in the orchestra pit following the plot on the big screen. George Valentine...

      reluctantly fall

      If viewed as a romance, artist George Valentine has a happy ending. From the perspective of mourning silent films, the art of silent films is helpless and swept into the corner of history. Modern film art is a triumph of technology and a choice of the market. When an art chooses the widest group of people as its audience, it can only abandon the profound and tactful, and instead embrace the simple and direct. No one thinks that an oil painting can't speak or a sculpture can't move, because this...

      Rebirth of silent films

      This is my objective rating, which is actually somewhere between three and four stars. Of course, this black-and-white silent film is not recommended for those around me, because I also mustered up the courage to enter the theater, but the brilliance of the film has exceeded my imagination. The unique attraction of silent films still makes me feel the charm. In the process of watching the movie, I have been thinking about it. It is completely possible to keep black and white silent films as a...

      Although it won the Oscar, it is still a very good-looking film. After so many years, some people still remember how to make silent films. The theme is not new. No one remembered in a long...

      Malcolm McDowell is so old to make a cameo. The puppy UGGY is very smart, can roll, play dead, and act cute. The screen ratio and the number of film frames are all shot in the way of silent film, and there are laughs and tears in the plot. In the case of the flood of commercial films, it is a good condiment to make such a tribute film...

      Female fans use male idols to successfully ascend, and wait for the idols to decline and degenerate, and then pull a successful catch. The screenwriter aims to give many fans a bright road, but this movie is black and white and silent, and the story is told thoroughly and joyful. The loyal dog is really all-you-can-eat, what happened to the Oscars this year, and the ideology of the United States has not been defeated. A tribute to film...

      A little disappointed, the first time I saw a silent film was a clip from a movie of Almodóvar, which was amazing. ....

    Creative background

    Director Michel Hazanavicius has wanted to make a silent film for many years, because he admires many filmmakers in the silent film era and the natural nature of those pictures. At first, he did not seriously make up his mind to make silent films. Later, with the success of his spy films OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies and OSS 117: Lost in Rio at the box office, he began to seriously prepare for his hobby. The protagonist of the film has...

    Evaluation action

    The screenwriter and director of "The Artist" Michael Hazanavisius successfully produced a great film. It is a film that pays tribute to the eighth art (that is, the art of film), full of inspiration and enthusiasm. People are welcome, sensitive and moving. ( Comment by French "Cross"
    Michael Hazanavisius used the most daring technique to reproduce the black and white silent film, Dujardin with a mustache, and his performance was...
