quite a good movie. oscar-worthy? maybe not. 'typical' of many movies about the nazis in WWII i suppose, i think it's interesting that german and american cinema seem to like to show the same things, like people who are brutal, people who will turn any situation to their advantage. i dunno, maybe i expected more insight or something? i was sad for TB boy but the political activist was a little too strident, however he did end up making a difference. i guess i judge movies on whether i would see them again; not in any hurry for a repeat of this one, though i would watch it if it was on tv. to compare i never want to see or hear about 'love, actually' ever again, holy crap.
hmm well, speaking of the oscars, i find it interesting that they still hold such standing, like academy-award-nominated actors and directors are henceforth known as such, when it is KNOWN that the awards are not necessarily given to the most deserving. avatar, seriously? i am totally being unfair right now because i haven't seen it, but i don't even want to! acting and plot are most important to me, and it seems obvious that avatar is lacking in those areas. right? also, up, cute but no wall-e that's for sure. all i can think about when someone mentions it is that the famous adventurer looks like statler from the muppets aka one of the ghosts in shackles from the muppet christmas carol. i mean, the resemblance is too close to be a coincidence. also also, i watched the trailer for 'the blind side' and thought, omg typical american redemption the land where dreams are made story, blergh.
ANYWAY cynicism aside i will be seeing 'precious', 'the hurt locker' and 'district 9' soon, stand by. (i also really want to see 'a serious man' but can't find it for the life of me.)
