'The Artist'
As I told you I visited The Fact cinema last night and the film i watched was 'The Artist' I was intrigued by this film when I seen it advertised as I'm a big fan of old style black and white films, However I didn't research it as much as I should of as I discovered it was a silent film, My first feeling were shock and I thought 'Oh my how will I sit through a silent film' However it was spectacular, I loved how the director used this method of old style with modern thinking. For example it may have been silent an din black and white but some of the shots were clearly shot by a modern director. There was one shot of the 2 main characters on these stairs and I love how done a long shot of the complete stair case and hall and all the busy people walking by , its something you have to see. One negative I have to comment on was the ending, I feel if the ending ruined it in a way because throughout the film was so different from modern films I believed the director would not have followed down the path of the standard narrative (Equilibrium to disruption to solution and back to equilibrium) However that's exactly what he did. Maybe if he would of left it when the main character was going to kill himself it would have had a much bigger effect on the audience.
The Fact Cinema
So I decided to go to the cinema but I wanted an experience not just a film, and from listening to my tutors I thought I try 'The Fact' to my amusement it was in fact an experience due to the lighting, picture,sound and seats. I felt it brought the film to life.The sound was clear and striking, the picture was on a larger scale and to a great quality, The lighting within the cinema was just right and the seats were beyond comfortable.With all this in mind I felt it was quite a posh place due to the fact as I was opening a bag of crisps I received a few dirty looks, sighs and 'Tut tut's' but all said I believe if your looking to watch a good film in good surroundings and comfort then 'The Fact' is the place to go.
