As I said. Tell us why Roma is exceptional without including or bringing up works that serve to bring attention to other people's/events. I'll be watching it tonight btw, but saying it should win because moves that are Afrocentric have been winning a lot sounds terrible.
I didn't say that it should win, and certainly not because Moonlight won 2 years ago/there have been other black led noms recently. I said it's way more of a unique case, it's crazy how Roma is up there competing for best movie, and Yalitza is competing for best actress. It's not something that's ever happened. I said it's odd how it's not seen as the more "progressive" choice.
Spirited Away won the Oscar for best animated feature though. I assume you're referring to some other film? There have been many snubs like The Wind Rises and Princess Kaguya losing to mediocre films like Frozen and Big Hero 6. I liked Mirai a lot but I really do think Spider-Man deserves the award. I want more animated films to take risks like this and try new techniques.
Everyone single "character" in that show is written and acted by aliens who've never actually seen a human being before.
Unless I'm forgetting something, the sexuality is all purposefully grotesque. It's a Lanthimos film after all.
None of the above.
Not only is the shunning of First Reformed a disgrace, but Death of Stalin's total snubbing is a goddam tragedy.
Truth.
yea I liked it better then both those other choices. Just finished it. What's that thing about it being a bad TV movie? It was gorgeous on my 60 inch. Anyway, I liked Blackkklansman but I saw it first week. I might need to rewatch it. This was beautifully shot. The cinematography is leagues better than the other movies I've seen this past year.
Nah, the Charlottesville footage was justified in reminding people this isn't just some quirky true story that happened ages ago that has little relevance now and Spike Lee is not one for subtlety ever.
The thing is, everybody I know knows about Charlottesville. It's not like it's some lesser known race riot (of which I'm pretty sure there are lots), Charlottesville was literally one of the biggest news stories worldwide in 2017.
Your clued-in circle isn't the target of the film, it's the general public who doesn't know the ins and outs of current neo-nazi movements. I don't believe it's about people's knowledge of Charlottesville, anyway. It's tying the KKK to the current more sneaky form of white bigots who obfuscate the general public with terms like "white nationalist" or "alt-right" or "ethnonationalist", are fashionable, pander to centrists, but really it's just the KKK/neo-nazis all over again but under a new flag. If the Charlottesville footage wasn't in the film at all, then people won't be able to see the connection and evolution of mainstreaming white hatred which still ends up in violence. Nothing has changed since the KKK except for the aesthetics.
This is a movie that literally has the KKK shouting "Make America great again", I'm not sure how people would see that and not immediately link it to modern white hatred and the modern political right. It also doesn't exist in a vacuum, if people pay attention to news, tv, movies you can immediately see the political and social relevance of Blackkklansman.
He has an autistic child
Dosent he have an autistic son? I watched the ad when it came out, it was definetly misguided, outdated... but it didn't strike me as being made with malice. Why would anyone hate someone with autism?
Not so sure about that. Maybe it's just what he thinks. Anyway, The Oscars ..... I mean, it has always been a strange concept. Just enjoy what you like.
