I haven't seen a whole lot of silent films myself, but my sense is that the first parts especially (before he sees the film clip of the lady singing) feel pretty accurate. After that he gets more fancy (which I liked), although they may simply be portraying more dramatic silent films that I haven't seen.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-73163826742238485692011-12-18T09:17:57.667-08:002011-12-18T09:17:57.667-08:00Great review and those were some interesting links...Great review and those were some interesting links you provided. I had only seen 5 or so silent films before seeing The Artist. I wonder how it would have effected my viewing if I saw some of the more prominent silent films beforehand.<br /><br />As for Oscars, you are right, this film is going to be big. I'm predicting it to win Original Screenplay and Original Score but I can easily see it winning Best Picture and sweeping through the technical categories.Ryan Fernandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11849610480857698067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-12416657495374703782011-12-17T11:19:10.234-08:002011-12-17T11:19:10.234-08:00@Bonjour Tristesse, I think you're really goin...@Bonjour Tristesse, I think you're really going to enjoy this one, and I'll be interested to hear whether you see connections to French cinematic styles, or whether it is sticking mostly to American silent themes.<br /><br />@Anonymous, I haven't seen TTSS yet, and I'm really beginning to wonder how much his precursor snubs are going to impact his chance at an Oscar nomination. I'm sure he'll get into the BAFTA's, though, and he did win the San Francisco film critics (my home city). Given some travel that I have to do this month, I may not get around to TTSS until the New Years holiday, partly because my movie partner likes to catch as many of the Golden Globe nominees as possible before their awards, and partly because I want to catch the more independent films with short runs while I can, while I'm pretty sure TTSS will be playing in some of the other cities. We'll have to see whether I like it as much as you did!NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-46703997216311571162011-12-17T07:33:42.997-08:002011-12-17T07:33:42.997-08:00[i'm THE Anonuymous, the Israeli guy...]

Her part is smaller than Dujardin's (who also has the title role), but you're right that in most romantic comedies there is room for two leads. Harvey Weinstein is obviously working his magic here, knowing that she has a better chance at a nomination if she's campaigned as supporting. <br /><br />I do wonder, however, since the Academy gets to place people wherever they choose, if she might miss out because some people decide she's lead instead of supporting. The precursors seem to have fallen pretty well in line, though.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-79044930624493945812011-12-16T14:09:48.328-08:002011-12-16T14:09:48.328-08:00Why is Bernice being seen as Supporting and not Le...Why is Bernice being seen as Supporting and not Lead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
