Imagine a world where movies didn’t have sound. The Artist tells the story of George Valentin, a famous silent film actor who struggles when movies start having voices. He has to figure out how to stay in the spotlight while everything around him changes. It’s a story about trying to hold onto what you love, even when the world moves on.
One fan theory is that the film’s main character, George, was always afraid of change, which is why he struggled so much when talkies (movies with sound) became popular. What if George had embraced sound films sooner? He might have stayed a star!
A key moment in the movie is when George has to make the big decision—whether to change and risk his identity or stick to his roots and risk losing everything. This moment shows his vulnerability and the power of reinvention.
What if there was a prequel showing George’s rise to fame in the silent film era, or a sequel where he returns to the big screen, this time in a new kind of film? These possibilities would give more insight into his journey.
In the end, The Artist shows that even when things change, the heart of art and passion stays timeless.
