Downloaded The Artist on account of the awards season hype.
This is the issue with being a bit fixated on the Hollywood scene and living in Australia - half of the films nominated haven't even come out here yet. Which leads to a lot of judgement purely based on whether or not I like the people as opposed to the project. Gary Oldman's been nominated for Best Actor in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and I'm rooting for him purely based on the fact that, with all of their success, George Clooney and Brad Pitt are starting to look a little too satisfied with themselves and I wouldn't mind knocking them down a peg or two. I have seen clips of The Descendants and I can't quite place why Clooney was nominated, really. If only every actor was awarded such an honor for deigning to cry onscreen.
Anyway, my point being - I downloaded The Artist and the copy I have has no sound. I know this is ironic given that it's a silent film and all, but I don't think I could go about watching it in complete silence. Has anyone seen it? Do you maybe have alternate soundtrack suggestions for me to still get the feel of it? Duran Duran?
Bit of a low point.
