Line 10:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Academy Award]]: Nominated for ten Oscars, won five, including Best Picture, Best Director (Michael Hazanavicius), and Best Actor (Jean Dujardin). It's the first silent film to be nominated for Best Picture since ''The Patriot'' (no, not [[The Patriot|that one]], [[wikipedia:The Patriot (1928 film)|this one]]) 83 years prior, and the first to actually ''win'' Best Picture since ''[[Wings (film)|Wings]]'' won the ''very first'' Best Picture Oscar 84 years prior.
* [[Alan Smithee]]: One of the [[Easter Egg
* [[Almost Kiss]]: Happens once between Peppy and George. What's amazing is that they don't kiss even once in the film, despite being the [[Official Couple]]. This is, of course, a throwback to [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] rules enforced by censors back in those days.
* [[And Starring]]
Line 21:
* [[Attention Whore]]: Constance, George's costar, is ''livid'' when he keeps forcing her off the stage at the first film showing.
* [[Awful Wedded Life]]: Doris
* [[Beauty Mark]]: Peppy's trademark, although it's artificial (it was also George's idea, as she needed something to make her stand out from other actresses). It's even the name of one of her
* [[Benevolent Boss]]
** John Goodman's studio exec who was obviously hoping to help George make the transition to sound films until he gets stubborn about it.
Line 57:
* [[Fake Kill Scare]]: BANG!
* [[Fascinating Eyebrow]]: During the ''German Affair'' shoot, George keeps deploying this in take after take.
* [[The Flapper]]: Peppy is
* [[Flipping the Bird]]: George's co-star when he hogs the limelight from her during a film premier.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: During the first [[Show Within a Show]], George's character is being tortured, being commanded "SPEAK!" He refuses to speak, just like he later refuses to speak on any film.
Line 67:
* [[Hands-On Approach]]: George and Peppy dancing together in a scene. At first, the pair erupt into some harmless [[Corpsing]]. With each take, though...
* [[Happily-Failed Suicide]]: Bang!
* [[Heroic Dog]]: Mostly entertaining but definitely becomes heroic considering a played straight [[Timmy in a Well]] moment. Later he tries desperately to dissuade George from his suicide
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: George helps Peppy make it big, which hastens his own downfall.
* [[Hollywood California]]: Shot on location in buildings authentic to the time period. Peppy's mansion is Mary Pickford's mansion, and George wakes up in Pickford's bed.
Line 82:
* [[Living Shadow]]: Possibly related to a [[Pink Elephants]] type moment.
* [[Meaningful Background Event]]: The movie names, all over the place.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: George's [[Dream Sequence]]
* [[Meet Cute]]: How Peppy accidentally strikes off her career.
* [[Mirror Monologue]]: George has an argument with his shadow projected against a wall.
Line 117:
** George and Doris' simmering hostility at the dinner table recalls the same between Kane and his first wife in ''[[Citizen Kane]]''.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: We see a number of George's and Peppy's films.
* [[Silence Is Golden]]: Used to very great
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Peppy's first "big" role has her name misspelled as "Pepi".
* [[Spinning Paper]]: Done as Peppy rises to the top of stardom.
Line 136:
{{BAFTA Best Film}}
