A lot of actors nowadays would probably struggle with silent acting.<br /><br />I didn't understand why McDowell had such a brief cameo but found an interview with his that explains it: On The Artist "It's an amazing film. I'm really sort of a little abashed because I'm not really part of it very much. But, you know, I couldn't do it. They wanted me to do something else in it and I couldn't because of work."<br />http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/race/malcolm-mcdowell-oscars-2012-the-artist-clockwork-orange-287151RVChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475379868308526845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1253740449316378616.post-30776667448215689812012-05-08T16:03:14.645-04:002012-05-08T16:03:14.645-04:00Yeah, I really enjoyed this.

I can see why it won over the Academy.<br /><br />Both leads are excellent and yeah, I love the reveal at the end about George. The only thing that would have made me love it more is if they'd got more unknowns. Like you say John Goodman is perfect to play an old time movie mogul but he took me out of the illusion that this was an old movie.<br /><br />Also, why the hell get Malcolm McDowell and give him one scene?Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.com
