You can check the link above for the plot and all that and what I want to write about was the experience. The acting and the score worked so well together that it was kind of like a ballet. The actors are very expressive. I didn&#8217;t feel like I missed a thing but not having sound.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0241121\/\" style=\"background-color: #f6f6f5; color: #70579d; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; white-space: nowrap;\">Jean Dujardin<\/a>&nbsp;plays silent movie star George Valentin. &nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0067367\/\" style=\"background-color: #fbfbfb; color: #70579d; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; white-space: nowrap;\">B\u00e9r\u00e9nice Bejo<\/a>&nbsp; plays Peppy Miller the up and coming starlet. The movie is a silent movie about silent movies and the ups and downs of Valentin and the flirting between him and Peppy Miller.<\/p>\n<p>You know something else, the audience in the theater was absolutely silent. Nobody was talking, nobody was making noise, everybody was quiet. That was great but a little unnerving. It just goes to show that people can quit yakking if they want to. I have to admit that one gentleman in the auditorium (not me) started snoring. That gave everybody a good chuckle.<\/p>\n<p>I was glad I went. This one gets five stars out of five. Not just because it is a silent movie but because of the imagination and crativity that went into it. Go see it.<\/p>\n<p>Are you going to watch the Academy Awards? I am. Go to the<b> <a href=\"http:\/\/oscar.go.com\/\">Academy Awards Site<\/a><\/b>, vote (not that it counts for any of the results). &nbsp;Lots of good movies this year, THE Help, War Horse among others.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going for the The Help.
