The last time (and maybe the only time) that I did a movie "review" was back in May, which is almost 5 months ago... And to be honest, I didn't expect too much from the post as it wasn't an "ordinary" review like others are doing... I saw so many great posts on HIVE and mine was just my personal view about a good movie... Or maybe better said, blogging about it, which I will do right now with this one...
I like to watch movies, but my "taste" is a bit different than the majority has... lol... I like to pick unusual, weird movies... Don't rush to watch the last Star Wars movie or some Marvel movie... Very often, I like to watch old movies and when I say old, I really mean old... lol... Sometimes, I just turn on the TV and watch a random movie that goes on... On the other side, I like to listen to others' recommendations for movies, especially when those movies are "out of the box"...

Something similar happened this time... I was at Hive Fest and I had a drink with 
Oh, there is another story connected with WHY I watched the movie just now... But, I will keep that for another time... So, I watched the movie today and it has completely fulfilled my expectation... Or better said, I got even more than I expected... Firstly, if you are an "action movie" lover, skip this one... :) It's a drama/comedy/romance genre, so I suppose that women audience (and weirdos like me 😃) will like it more...
As you can see from the GIF above, it is a black and white movie... And that's not the only weird thing about it... It is a SILENT movie!!! Yes, you read it well... A silent movie created in 2011! I watched 2-3 movies with a similar story like this one, but they weren't like this one... So, the story follows a famous silent movie actor which tries to cope with the fact that "his type of movie" is going to history... He is too proud to make a change and move to "sound movies" and when you mix into the story a young new actress, you get a perfect complot... 😃
The movie is directed by Michel Hazanavicius, and in the main roles are Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell, etc... I have no idea how I missed this movie when it was aired as it got many rewards all over the world... Won 5 Oscars (Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role, Best Achievement in Directing, Best Achievement in Costume Design, and Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score), and with another 5 nominees, there is no need to write about other rewards... Just to mention 3 BAFTA rewards and many, many others...
Anyways, I don't want to write more about the movie to not make some spoilers... If you like dramas and romance movies, you have to check this out... Oh, yes... As it is a silent movie, it's crucial to leave sound ON as the music is just perfect... It's crazy how you can understand the whole movie with just a few words...
Check out the trailer, or even better, don't watch the whole trailer to avoid spoilers... :)
Thank you for your time,
