'The Artist' wins an Oscar for the best film???????????????

Er, let's get this right in 2012 a Black & White, Silent Film, wins best film.

The last time a black & white silent film won an Oscar was back in 1929.

In this age of wide-screen, brilliant colour, stereophonic all round sound, and even 3D. this wins best film?

Tell me is this a case of 'The King's New Clothes'?

Must dash off to my local Currys now, they have the latest in music players, it requires no electricity to play it, you just wind it up, and put the new 78rpm record disc on it.

They say they are absolutely brilliant, and must come No 1 in the 10 best audio players list.

AOG - only just back on line, my response was never meant as a dig at all, we have differing viewpoints when discussing urban violent crime, I was merely pointing out, while we were discussing the film, that this film has influenced my views on the type of topic you often post about.
Also, I don't have jibes at you really, now and then I'll post a tongue in cheek comment about you being a generation or two older than I am, no harm meant!

"Perhaps in your option Andy, but you know these 'arty' types, have you never seen them stand back and convince some, how great a piece of art is?"

Actuallly it's not my opinion AOG - I haven't seen the film, which is why I was careful to say "it apears not to be the case" - I have nop opinion either way.

"Can you honestly say the same couldn't be said regarding 'The Artist'?"

No - that's why I didn't.

I watched it on Saturday and walked out after 30 minutes, followed by a lot of other people!

trt,

You walked out but waited around to see a lot of other people walk out?

I have only ever left the cinema mid film once, and we headed straight to the pub. I certainly didn't waste anymore time hanging around waiting to see if anyone else left.
