I'm really looking forward to seeing The Artist, which hasn't been released in Seattle yet. It's a new silent movie about old Hollywood. Made in 2011, but set in 1927.
In my Intro To Cinema class at USC, I remember learning about the transition from silent films to talkies and how the change affected the industry. It's fascinating watching old motion pictures without dialogue. Sometimes all you need are talented actors and a great film score.
Are you planning to watch it?
