In an era where neither 3D nor IMX can satisfy our increasingly weakened senses, "The Artist" has undoubtedly conquered the audience with the true meaning of art and the passion for film.

A black and white film that is almost silent to the end, how can He De He Neng? Maybe it's the chasing dream of movies hidden in our hearts, let's sit down and be patient. But in the middle of it, I was moved and cried. The greatness of the silent film era, the profound artistic skills of silent film actors, as George said, "The audience only needs to see my acting skills."

George, a great silent film actor, the contrast between his love for the film industry and reality made him burn all the film at one time, but in the end he still couldn't let go of the film he was thinking of and used his life to protect his last roll of film. He uses his life to maintain his last piece of pure land, which is forever reserved for the movie and irreplaceable.

Moved, for the movie, for the dream; emotional, for the art, for the adherence to art.

At the end of the film, George and Barbie danced and finally released a silent film with dialogue. This is the second time the voice of dialogue appears in the film. But different from the first time, the part in George's dream, it was harsh, derived from the threat of sound movies in the silent film era. At the end, the voice of this dialogue seems to be an affirmation of silent films and a hopeful prospect of sound films. The film gives a gentle ending, draws a mellow end to silent films, and leaves a little space for the softest place in the hearts of all filmmakers from the silent film era to today. All those who have dreamed of light and shadow will be moved by this movie, because they have been dedicated and dedicated to the movie, and they are all well-deserved artists!
