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?

To travel is your kiff, your passion, dreams to do only that? Tom Hanks is the reverse

When you leave your home, it’s to kiffer. Every time, you go home with crazy memories and want to leave. For the actor, it’s not too much …

A kind of black cat specializing in travel. As soon as he’s there, there’s a ball. And of course, even if it is to be in galley, as much as it is by plane or boat as often as possible. In short, if you see him with you, flee while there is still time. Here is proof that it will go wrong. For him, it never fails. Or always, finally you understand what.
“Alone in the world”
In the middle of Christmas. While he dines quietly with his wife and family, Chuck is called urgently by his box, FedEx. He has to go far, far away, to troubleshoot a customer, right now. Good pear, he rushes take a direct plane. Which crashes and leaves only one survivor: him. So you, another passenger, would already be dead. And Tom Hanks, suddenly, finds himself stuck on a desert island (Fiji). Nothing to do, to eat, to drink … He must disgorge himself to survive.
“Captain Phillips”
On MV Maersk Alabama, it is he who makes the law. Finally, as long as everything happens normally. That is to say not long because four Somali pirates attack them, he and his crew. Since he has principles, Captain Phillips lets his subordinates hide in the engine room and then gets caught as a hostage. And when he thinks he can free himself in exchange for a canoe and a pony, he goes off again as a lollipop. And everyone must follow him to the shores of Somalia. Not at all risky.
“Sully”
Still with the joysticks, another galley. Driver of US Airways flight 1549, Chesley Sullenberger is faced with a damage and must make a decision quickly. What he does brilliantly by opting for a landing on Lake Hudson, which does not make any death among the 155 passengers and members of the aircraft (including him). So, ok, he gets out of it, but I bet he will never fly again. Finished the trips to the other end of the world, it will move by bus and train, in Bergkamp mode. Long live buses crowded and noisy, long live trains at prohibitive rates. Or he becomes a regular carpooler and has to ask two weeks for the least vacation.
“The terminal”
First stay in the States, you are boiling, you can not any more. You’ve been talking about it for years, preparing it. And there it is, you put your foot on the soil Rican and … you take a big stop. No pussy, arrived at the airport, friend Viktor Navorski sees that a war broke out in his country. As a result, the US forbid him to go home. Well, let’s admit. While preventing back their territory . So what do we do ? Bah he finds himself squattering the airport for months, waiting for a solution … You live in the toilets, on benches, you get chased, we push you to the end. Nice trip.
“Apollo 13”
To change, it takes this time a rocket. Yeah, the galleys by plane or by boat, it’s tiring to force. Here, James Lovell takes part in a NASA mission: go on the moon. The take-off takes place unhindered, alas an explosion occurs on board, some time after. The astronaut and his colleagues see a supply of oxygen bursting and another being damaged. As the control module . As a result, Tom Hanks / James Lovell finds himself piloting with the pifometer, without guidance, because the power supply and electronic devices have been cut. We must pray to reach the Earth without crusting ourselves. You agree, you do not know anybody more unlucky?
