subject: The Entertainer - Smart And Witty Cinema Movie [print this page] The storyline is not especially complicated, but it is somewhat humane as well as warm. Lifetime of the well-known Hollywood silent movie star George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) turns completely upside down while in the actual late 20s the world discovers about the concept of sound movie. Practically overnight to become collateral target of technical improvement, just another unnecessary worker at the assembly collection, replaced by something new, efficient, attractive, George received one more strike when the stock exchange fall and the past lifetime savings fall with it.
Shattered and undesirable, another washed-star and icon of a different, with the blink of an attention left behind time, the man in just a couple of years fell apart on the lowest. Simultaneously with his decrease, other superstars have only just began their own journey within the glistening showbiz - Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo), was once a large admirer of Valentine, and today among the spades to bury his successful career, with tears in her big eyes on the ruins of her idol, whilst holds hundreds of thousands and the woman's skin, ornate with beauty markings, beaming on advertisements in LA, doesn't forget about her favorite "artist".
Watching the movie, only at stray moments I remembered that in fact is a silent film.
Along with a ideal music created together with advancements on screen, face expressions, looks as well as gestures of the figures explained possibly even more than would probably expose "usually" with saying the data the director desired to convey.
Along with superb characters, Musician is sensible, witty, created using a definite vision based on the original, inventive ideas and doesn't seem pretentious. Some scenes are actually great (George's headache, Peppy in the dressing place...), while some are just superb. Fascinating story, amusing and forever enchanting as it is, this film is also a good ode towards Hollywood in early thirties.
Discard your own negative opinion before the movie, as have discarded all of them and so I in some way managed to reserve, hide in the darkness of the movie theater, do not sit down next to grandma along with seeds and permit yourself to end up being speechless for an hour and a half.
Once the characters of his last dancing walk right on the canvas, in some way with the intelligence and the need for George's spoken words nevertheless called within my ear, all of a sudden I realized - simply viewed a great movie, capable to practically silence every doubter reasonable sufficiently to recognize that I made a misstep in my verdict. Eighty-five yrs following Al Jolson opened up the doorway to a few entirely new dimension associated with film I truly enjoyed in this particular silent movie.
