I finally saw the winner for the Best Picture for 2012, The Artist! It took a few minutes to get used to the silence, since this is a silent film and all. But it was super easy to follow even with minimal title cards. I haven’t seen many silent films, so I always kind of wondered how they could hold an audience’s attention without dialogue, but it was surprisingly easy to get into the story of The Artist. I didn’t totally love the movie, but I did like it and enjoy it. That it was able to be popular with audiences enough to get nominated and win Best Picture is certainly quite an achievement for a silent film. Actually, it was probably quite an achievement just to get made!
