If so, these films have won an Oscar

You forgot him, too, everybody. Even today, it shocks a little, one wonders how they did. However, they have their names on the list.
The Oscars is a bit like the Ballon d’Or during the era of the condominium with the Fifa. Sometimes films deserve a reward, cumulate the nominations, are approached to win … and leave empty-handed. While others, judged only passable, even mediocre, managed to catch a statuette . As when Cannavaro won in 2006, you were confused.
8 Mile
Do not worry, this film about Eminem’s life has obviously not been voted best film , no better script or brought any reward to the rapper’s acting. Still not. But the film saw its original soundtrack pretty much appreciated, and Eminem left with the statuette of the best song.
Beyond our dreams
An ambitious film that does not meet its own goals. Dealing with life after death, we see a Robin Williams who was trying to do his best, without succeeding in transporting us, simply because he does not have the material . On the background of religion, dramatic reflection and diverse manipulation on subjects such as family and love, one actually sees a very beautiful film from a purely visual point of view (hence the Oscar for the best special effects) , But nothing more profound than that.
The Wolfman
The story could have been exciting, the cast was pretty good, the special effects not bad either … But no! The film did not mark the spirits. We get bored, we feel like watching a TV movie … So ok, the film got the Oscar for the best makeup, but even that is limited. And then Anthony Hopkins as a monster out of a cross with a hamster …
My cousin Vinny
Comedy without much pretension, it looks, two hours, quiet. You come out like that, without violence. And you forget the movie pretty quickly. And so, you forgot that Marissa Tomei had won the Oscar for the best supporting role , as Mona Lisa Vito. OK why not. But at the same time, why …
Crash
Paul Haggis embarked on a complicated subject: racial tensions in Los Angeles. For many, it has missed in wide widths. The message is so hammered, so heavy, so pompous that it is heavy. It spoils the thing. The characters are all clichés on legs . And the film still had the Oscar for the best photography. In front of “A history of violence” and “Brokeback Moutain” in particular, whose images were also magnificent. See more.
Pearl Harbor
A film about Japan’s suicide attack against the United States in the second world war, which will cause the fall of the Asian country and terrible consequences … We could have seen a rather dark, introspective film about nature Our violence. Except that Michael Bay took care of it, so it sent heavy and then that’s it . Ah yes, there was also a love story like secondary plot. In any case, explosions and scenes of burglars apparently convinced the judges to hand over to the film the Oscar for the best sound mixing. Do you still have other movies that you had hallucinated to win an Oscar?

These actors who galley since they won an Oscar

Normally, behind, you put yourself well. Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Pay. Unfortunately, for them, the opposite is true.
Life is not always sewn with white thread. We think we know the sequence, the sequence, we say that this or that would be logical. And boom! Change of plan. When fate gets in your way and mouths 2 cm from your piss: “Surprise mother fucker!”. In short, you see the picture what. These actors have lived it, and still live it.
Adrien Brody
Rewarded for his role as Wladyslaw Szpilman in “The Pianist”, in 2002, the American actor had upset us. His almost impassive face conveyed an incredible, throbbing pain. Roman Polanski knew the magnifier . Since then, it’s brothel. Most of his films are flops (“Predators”, “The Jacket”, “The experiment”) and for some time, he plays outright in unknown stuff coming out directly in VOD. But what happened?
Expensive
And yeah, you did not see her come here! Cher is not only a singer, but also an actress. Of talent, in addition. After a few good roles in “Mask”, “The Mystery of Silkwood” and “The Witches of Eastwick”, she breaks the hut as an accountant who assaults the brother of her supposed future husband in “Eclair de lune”. The beginning of a great career? Rather the end, alas, so far. Since ? Not terrible movies and cameos.
Cuba Gooding Junior
“Boyz in the Hood” and “Men of Honor” were already killings. But in “Jerry Maguire”, it exploded. In his role as a professional footballer, Cuba Gooding Junior played masterfully . Better, he was Rod Tidwell. On the other hand, he detonated afterwards. Will know if he asked too much, if he had no good offers, or if he simply made the wrong choices … Because “Instinct”, “Chill Factor”, “Rat Race”, “Snow Dogs” Radio “… We will not talk about it.
Kim Basinger
Beauty is sometimes a curse. People only see you in a type of role well defined and limited, like the directors who contact you. It was his case, before we would trust him in “LA Confidential” , awarded with an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. But this was not confirmed, because of poor successive choices. Only her performance as Eminem’s mother, in “8 Mile”, had brought it back to light.
F. Murray Abraham
In fact, it started too hard. Just at the beginning of his career, he plays the role of Antonio Salieri, the sworn enemy of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the film “Amadeus”. The film picks up a sling load of trophies at the 1984 Oscars, and Murray Abraham contributes, won Best Actor . So will know why, we have not seen him again in quality films, interpreting complex and interesting characters. Rather than appear in a thriller by Colin Farrell (“Dead Man Down”), or lend his voice in “The Muppets in Space”. Ok, we saw him again in “The Grand Budapest Hotel” or “Inside Llewyn Davis”, but we waited (and hoped) better for him.
Roberto Benigni
If you have not yet seen “Life is Beautiful”, really, do it. It is great. It makes you want to chill that bastard. You end up on the kneecaps, moved, shocked, lost. Logic, he had the Oscar for this role, knowing that he was also the director. The result was not so convincing. Its “Pinocchio” did not work, it has somewhat disappeared radar screens, made some small roles (“Coffee and cigarettes”, “To Rome with love”), redisparu … Too bad. Other examples in mind?

More than a clown, Jim Carrey is a true actor of talent

sivertime — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 18:10:59 +0000

It should not be reduced to his grimaces in “Ace Ventura” or “Dumb and Dumber”, the Canadian has a much wider palette. Tribute.
Many of us have grown up with him and have lasting memories. It was clearly tapped bars by him, in the 90s. And still today, as soon as “The Mask” goes back for example. Then a few years later, Jim Carrey wanted to show that he knew how to do something else: to move. In more serious, touching roles, he bluffed and proved his talent. Back on these films where the native of Ontario surprised us. Why today? I almost forgot: Mr. celebrates its 55 pins . So it deserves a little attention. And I announce, I do not balance precisely the end of the films but spoile them well anyway. At the same time, you had 10/15 years to see them eh.
The Truman Show
The concept was then out of the ordinary: we followed the life of a star star of a reality TV without his knowledge. A bit like Virenque but still different. The man played by Jim Carrey is called Truman Burbank and spent absolutely all his life on an enormous film set, where all the other people around him are actually actors. When he begins to doubt, he asks questions, tries to find out more. Manipulated, betrayed, you share his horror and you want to chill. And hop, a Golden Globe of best actor in a dramatic film, in 1999.
Man on the moon
Biopic on the life of Andy Kaufman, a New York comedian who explained practicing anti-humor. Basically, the guy was constantly in the absurd, was trying to play with the minds of people, setting up an embarrassing atmosphere. He would have made a card Malaise TV . Completely perched, her whole life was dedicated to surprise people (crying on stage before securing), to organize cumbersome or crazy stuff like wrestling matches against women. A young death of cancer, his fans believed in an umpteenth stage. A strange and sad life. And hop, a second Golden Globe of better actor, in 2000.
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
Thanks WHO ? Thank you, Michel. And yes, we owe this film to the French director Michel Gondry, and a unique role devolved to Jim Carrey: that of Joel Barish. Man reserved, to the life shy to die and logically a depressive hair, he meets by chance the delicate Clementine. The opposites attract themselves, they put themselves together and live a mad love. Until the day when Clecle is fed up and realizes that she is actually shit. Neither one nor two, she has Joel erased from his memories at the clinic Lacuna. What makes the poor Joel / Jim when she did not recognize the day of Valentine’s Day … He’ll do the same to move on, before changing his mind. Again, tears are not far away. Motherfucker. And hop, a 5th nomination to the Golden Globes (as well as BAFTA).
I love you Phillip Morris
A small independent film that did not make much noise, despite its unique story, inspired by the life of Steven Jay Russell. Basically, Steven leads a peaceful and classical life, work, wife, children … Then the discovery that his parents are not really his will go upset. He finds his real mother, who rejects him, then made his coming out and ends up in jail for various scams . And he will never stop, coming in and out of prison without stop, only guided by his transi love towards Phillip Morris. A complicated and overwhelming love.
The number 23
It is the story of a guy who receives a book as a gift, by his wife Agatha. And then Walter fucks a bolt. He devoured the book, the investigation of a man named Fingerling on the number 23, then resumed it to his account. Completely obsessed, Walter Sparrow sees his life connected and influenced by this number . Notably the name of a dog, Ned (and yeah, in the alphabet N = 14, E = 5, D = 4). In short, it starts in spin and Walter makes freak. Which one is your favorite in these movies?

These biopics on women who have marked the history of which no one speaks

sivertime — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 18:08:53 +0000

We talk about “Jackie” because Natalie Portman shines but we too often forget other films honoring extraordinary women. Here they are.
“Behind every great man hides a woman,” according to a certain expression. And I want to say that the woman does not need to hide sometimes, she is there, alone, in the front row. And she accomplishes extraordinary things too. Here are the films retracing the life of women out of the ordinary of which one does not speak enough and which one must absolutely see.
Rosa Parks: telefilm “The Rosa Parks Story”
It’s not just a song from Outkast (though it tears), Rosa Parks is a real woman, a real story. On December 1, 1955, in Alabama, she refused to give up her place to a white man, as was hitherto the law in the United States. Tried and convicted of public disorder, the seamstress will be supported by Martin Luther King himself , which will launch a protest movement for equality between blacks and whites. A historical moment in the history of segregation.
Annette Kellermann: film “The First Mermaid”
Yes, there are two “n” normally, his father being German and his name often anglicized for some reason. Born in Sydney on July 6, 1986, this girl with polio will begin to swim under the doctor’s recommendations. And push the thing up to become a professional swimmer (synchronized) and tried to cross the Channel . Even more historical, she militated for women’s right to wear a swimsuit (one piece at the time) and was arrested in 1907 in Boston for indecency. The sports argument was retained by the judge, which was a case law and embodied an enormous advance for women.
Marie curie: three films “A certain young girl” / “Beyond the myth” / “Marie Curie”
Polish (her birth name is Sklodowska) and naturalized French, this physicist and chemist remains a legend. First woman to receive a Nobel Prize (for chemistry in this case) – for work on radiation with her husband Pierre Curie in 1903 – she pocketed a second eight years later, physics, for research on polonium And radium. No woman has done as well, and even better, no winner has won two Nobel in different scientific fields . Oh Mary …
Benazir Bhutto: documentary “Bhutto”
Born in Karachi in a family of politicians, she studied brilliantly and became Minister of Defense of Pakistan in December 1988. Not satisfied, the daughter of the former president accumulates another post: that of Prime Minister. At 35, Benazir Bhutto is the first woman democratically elected to head a country with a Muslim majority. Many years later, on December 27, 2007, when she was campaigning for her party, she was the victim of a suicide bombing.
Anne Frank: two films “The Diary of Anne Frank” / “Anne Frank”
Born in Frankfurt just before Adolf Hitler came to power, she grew up and will live the major part of her life in the Netherlands after her parents left Nazi Germany. Hid with her family in Amsterdam, she refers everything in her diary before being caught and end his days in the Bergen-Belsen camp , shortly before the German surrender in 1945. His life lasted only fifteen But Anne Frank was the author of the most representative book of the Holocaust.
Amelia Earhart: film “Amelia”
Born in Kansas and a true adventurer from an early age, she discovered the pleasure of the flight during an air baptism in 1920. Her duties as an apprentice nurse and social worker allowed her to pay for her own plane, a biplane Yellow name the Canary. On October 22, 1922, Amelia Earhart set a record: she is the first woman to reach the altitude of 4,300m. It was then the first woman to cross the Atlantic by plane, by June 1928 , despite the marketing side of the operation and its weak role it will denounce saying to have been nothing more than a “potato sack ” the pilot Wilmer Stultz and mechanic Louis Gordon. Unstoppable, it tries the round the World in 1937 but disappears with his colleague, in June, over the Pacific Ocean.
Nadia Comaneci: telefilm “Nadia”
She begins gymnastics in kindergarten and begins real training at seven. Nadia won several regional and then national tournaments before going on to the European Championships in 1975. At thirteen. The following year, at the Summer Olympic Games in Montreal, she obtained the maximum score of 10, which is a first in the history of gymnastics . And history to confirm, she does it seven times during these Olympics Little anecdote “Did you know?” In Christian Jeanpierre mode: the score panels were not parametrized, they displayed 1.00. Which tempts you the most?
