2011 - The Artist: "With Pleasure"

2011 Best Picture

Premiered No American Premier

Budget $15 Million

Gross $44 Million

We've now come full circle in our journey to watch all of the Best Picture winners. This movie took us back to 1927 and the era of silent movies. The movie is very artistic and very smart in the limited way that they incorporated sound effects and dialog. The movie is lacking in story and plot but that aspect is not the focus of this movie. The challenge was to take 21st century movie technology but re-create and experience that movie goers had in the late 20s. The filmmakers succeeded.

Callie
Favorite: I loved the artistic flare of the movie. It was very creative.
Least Favorite: The story line was so shallow. 

Joel
Favorite: I loved the way that the movie ends with dialog. It drove the point of the movie home. (I also liked the dog and the role he played)
Least Favorite: The story was ok but not great.
