While those movies are speeding in the strong current of industry, this movie is floating calmly on the river's surface, and surprisingly made many racers slow down and look back as it took the Oscar of Best Picture 2012, and four other recognitions home.
I thought "The Artist" would be a silence black and white thoughtful art film. Silence and black and white indeed, but the last two adjectives gave me some reason to "procrastinate", until.... it won the award.
The reason why I said it is a light floating piece is the point which contradicts my assumption. The movie is light as a feather. I did not have to think much while watching it, like most of the previous Oscar winners, just sit back and enjoy. The story is quite linear yet beautifully simple. It was not a boring picture at all.
Love story which started from a gossipy kiss between old silent film star George Valentin and fan Peppy Miller. Miss Miller got some small movie roles afterward, and rose into a top star. As the talk film entered the industry, Valentin's career was dropping. Love and hate relationship between the two occurred as each artist's career went to the opposite direction.
I think the key strengths of the flick were the music and actors. Fantastic scoring from the very beginning to the end sounds on its place. Salute to the scoring director who has worked very well with the grand orchestra and some detail sound effects too. Actors are also the keys, not to be missed the dog! They all act finely. The film would be worse than crap if it possess not these two elements.
Therefore, congratulations Ludovic Bource for the original score Oscar and French actor Jean Dujardin for the best actor in leading role (first time nominated yet he took it away from George Clooney and Brad Pitt). To make it believable, the costume designers work hard too. The Academy awarded Mark Bridges and friends the best costume design. And finally the guy who make everything happens, Michel Hazanavicius got the best directing award.
