Well said, friend. At the beginning, he was on top of the world. Everybody loved him (except maybe his wife), and it seemed like he couldn't stop smiling. But then cut to this scene, and he's in the back of an almost empty theater. No smile. No love. Just a man quietly realizing that the times had passed him by. And then there's Peppy crying as George's character sank into the quicksand. But you knew that part of those tears were for George himself.
George Valentin was so developed as a character in this film that I seriously cried when he fell in the quicksand at the movie premiere -- even though I knew it was just a movie, inside another movie. Very few films can develop characters that well. Truly masterful film-making, this deserved every bit of Best Picture.
I knew it reminded me of something! It's that little cascade about halfway through, definitely inspired by Arabesque. Thanks, I wouldn't have copped it otherwise :)
Ravel and Debussy overall, but totally agree with you, this is a perfect soundtrack, it's not supposed to be a great piano piece from the classical music repertoire.
¿Nos reencontraremos de nuevo tú y yo? tu corazón y el mío, tu ser y mi ser, tu espíritu y mi espíritu, nuestras almas...❤💚❤ ojalá el plan divino vuelva a apostar por nosotros 👑 ¡¡¡Te extraño enormemente!!! 😟

The tears started shedding within the first few 30 seconds! This song is so powerful and the film simply fantastic!

MinamuTV I cried too! The characters are really developed as you said, and that's what makes us love them. And the story is so sad too..
One of my favorite movies.
I learnt how to perform this by ear and have been doing it at my gigs for over five years.
This, simply gives you something else, like air to breath. Fresh and Peaceful
This movie just captured my heart. It was just so enchanting I never wanted it to end.
I loved this movie! Can't wait till it comes out on DVD!
Un gros j'aime assurément
Outstanding movie, outstanding soundtrack.
I almost cried at this point of the movie, when he is defeted at the premiere.
;(

Magnifique ❤️
the memory of you with me....... will hold me or us ... forever...... remembering the moment we danced....... held in each others arms..........
Whoever disliked this, is simply unable to feel. Who could fail to be moved by this?
Absolutely beautiful.
beautiful :') the soundtrack portrayed the emotions of the characters without any word spoken.
Magnifique... =')
This is such a beautiful song, and sad. :(

I absolutely agree with the top French comment!
Magnifique morceau, on sent l'influence de Liszt et Debussy.
Quelle magie!
Je peux pas croire que je sois le premier qui appuis sur "j'aime" Oo' Un bug surement. =D
J'adore
wow!!!!!!!!!!
Ravel and Debussy overall, but totally agree with you, this is a perfect soundtrack, it's not supposed to be a great piano piece from the classical music repertoire.
One of these days, someone will add a comment on one of the Debussy - Arabesque videos saying "That sounds like the soundtrack of The Artist".
@chemicalrubber Yes, this music is so French. It also reminds me of Satie.
