I just finished watching ≪The Artist≫, and the overall feeling is that it is a very good silent film, and it is worth recommending. The background of the film's story is the Great Depression of the American economy in the last century, and the film industry transitioned from silent films to sound films.
The setting of the story is very flavorful. The male protagonist is a big name in the silent film era, but bad luck coincides with the downturn of the economy. The audience has higher requirements for movies as a mass cultural consumer product, and silent movies can no longer meet them. Due to his stubbornness, the male protagonist missed the trend of the times. And the heroine who got the help of the hero has quickly become a new favorite in Hollywood from an unknown extra actor with the help of a sound movie. The film is rich in content, not only the implicit love, Vanity Fair's pursuit of fame and fortune, but also the inspiration of small people, the fall of a generation of idols. There are many more interesting details. In addition, one of the highlights of the film is the soundtrack with perfect rhythm one after another, and those who haven't seen it can savor it carefully.
Talking about something other than movies, the wheels of the times are rolling forward, and everything that goes against the current will be abandoned. This was the case with silent films in Hollywood in the late 1920s, Kodak, the representative of the film empire, and Nokia, the once dominant mobile phone industry. Have a hard time. Innovate! It is hoped that the Chinese film industry will grasp the economic depression in the 21st century and create more good films for the audience.
Finally, what I want to say is that in this era when 3D is popular and all kinds of so-called visual blockbusters are hitting the audience's senses in turn, a really pure good movie may not need such a gorgeous packaging. A good movie, even if it is silent, does not prevent me for it. pocket money.
