Artist: This is a movie

Image “You must have something that others don't.”

Talking about such a film, one can say little, but talk a lot. After all, this is a very simple story and it also tells about simple things. About friendship, devotion. Love. Using banal phrases, we can say that only a Frenchman will tell about true love. Not necessarily to another person. It can also be love for your Cause, without which everything loses its meaning. And only a Frenchman, probably, can flirt with sound and silent films so masterly - at the same time confessing his love to this art.

Today there is a lack of sincere feelings. They simply cannot be expressed directly. The world has become cynical and has left us no illusions. Therefore, now you have to turn to quotes and turn everything into a half-joke. Therefore, it is very courageous to deprive the actors of their voice and at the same time make them speak seriously. Or maybe this is the only way - to return to a place where you can speak honestly and not be afraid to be ridiculed.

Yes, we are talking about silent films when silence was golden. Well, until the very latest technical possibilities overshadowed all the advantages of playing without a voice. However, the new era in cinema did not promise success and prosperity for everyone.

There were real tragedies - how many movie stars died out when the fashion for sound films was born - because, as if in a mockery of all this their external chic, gloss and wonderful acting plastics, the voices of celebrities turned out to be either squeaky, or expressionless, or just funny ... so the main character doesn't want to risk it? Or is it just a tribute to tradition? Pride and self-confidence? Probably a little bit of everything.

The plot is painfully classic - and therefore we will not talk about it. And what can you say? Success - fall - deprivation - new rise and new glory Artist. There are minor characters who sometimes turn out to be no less significant than the main character. Let's call them Starlet and Servant.

A couple of lyric-comic situations - and Artist reveals the main secret of success to the aspiring actress. He helps her to find individuality, but he cannot avoid the stamping of his own image.

And everything goes to hell. And Starlet begins her dizzying journey to fame. Yes, she owes her initial success to that exclusive,"feature",that the Artist prompted her. Over time, it turns out that this is not really about the fly, which is here only the external attribute of difference. The heroine has what can be called appreciation, gratitude, or loyalty. The same quality, from a slightly different perspective, is demonstrated by Servant. Well, this is a rare and outdated trait. But this is what helps the Artist to believe in himself again and become himself.

We deliberately keep silent about all the other components of an excellent film: from the director's work to the soundtrack - in general, these are the seven Oscars, for which the "Artist" is also nominated, in addition to the script and acting.

But in fact, you don't need to look for secret meanings. The film is exceptionally good in that you can watch it, just enjoying the picture and brilliant acting. Don't think and have fun.
