Lazy Sunday Movie Review
Sundays are the days where you don’t want to do anything
really and you most definitely do not want to end because then it is Monday and
honestly who really like Mondays! One of my favorite pastimes on a Sunday is
watching movies whether it be sitting in front of my television at home or
going out to the theatre getting some yummy popcorn and sitting in a darken
room for 2 hours. Movies can make us cry, smile, laugh, and so many other
things but my favorite is when they take you to another time and you get so
involved you forget your reality and just let the movie take you along for the
ride.
On Thursday, I finally got to see the Artist and this movie
is one that takes you away! Silent films are not for everyone and I understand
that because I was not sure about this one myself but since the buzz around it
was so huge I decided I should give it a chance. I’m so pleased that I did get
to see it! It is a wonderful movie and I have to say I did not even miss the
spoken dialogue! You always knew exactly what was going on from the facial
expression and body language of the actors. Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bejo
were fantastic as the two lead roles in this film. They had the chemistry they
needed to pull off these rolls because they were not speaking they needed to
have that physical connection with each other and the audience. The storyline details
the ups and downs of a silent movie actor who is becoming old news in the
industry because it is time for the movies to have voices. The movie houses are
trying to keep up with the times and George Valentin wants to be an artist. The
movie was over before I wanted it to be but I think that just speaks to the
movie and how good it was. I do not think everyone will enjoy this movie but if
you like something a little different I believe this could be the movie for
you. It is a delight to watch, you will feel happy, sad, anger and just fall in
love with George Valentin and Peppy Miller.
PS Uggie steals all the scenes he is in J Love that dog!
4.5 stars out of 5 for me!
Hope you’re all having a lovely lazy Sunday!
