The favorite 3x563o
The favorite received 10 nominations and is tied with Roma as the most popular Oscar film. It is an unusual period drama for portraying a love triangle between women. It became a cult hit thanks to its sensitive yet bizarre and hilarious tone.
The film, set in the XNUMXth century, stars Olivia Colman like Queen Anne, and Emma Stone e Rachel Weisz like her two love interests. The director Yorgos Lanthimos is known for making strange and often violent films such as the lobster (available on that famous streaming service) and The Sacrifice of the Sacred Deer, and this is his first commercial success.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 30y6i
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse it's unlike anything we've seen before when it comes to animation. It's like watching a comic book come to life. THE sony animation had an even bigger task at hand with the film. Not only did it have to win over longtime fans and animation skeptics, but it also had to convince viewers that this was an essential story to tell.
The story focuses on Miles Morales, a black, Latino teenager from Brooklyn who takes on the hero's mask, and his motley crew, Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Hog, Peni Parker, and a middle-aged Peter Packer. You can't help but want to spend more time with them and enjoy this story more than once. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse shows us that anyone can wear the mask.
Family matter 272d2p
Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, Family matter will face Roma, another film about family. But the movie Hirokazu Kore-eda, relies less on memory and reconstruction of the past, and lives in an entirely different world.
We find the family at the center of the film in present-day Tokyo and see patriarch Osamu (Lily Franky) and son Shota (Jyo Kairi) in their first choreographed act of petty theft. Kore-eda alternates between showing the family as a whole, living in a cramped house with no privacy, and as individuals going through mindless and despicable tasks. When they pick up a girl who has been abused by her mother, the family dynamic changes, but not in a negative way.
Family matter shows a group of people gathered together, doing the only thing they know how to do to survive, which makes the second act even more devastating.
Roma 5u414p
Roma is based on the director's childhood memories Alfonso Cuarón, as an upper-middle-class kid in Mexico City in the 1970s, and the first original film Netflix to be indicated.
The film is not a love letter, it is about the shared trauma of a nation. You learn that even in the suburban neighborhood of Roma, people who talk about the NFL and buy Fords that don't fit in the garage to feel like they've gotten somewhere in society are just filling voids. the hero of Roma she is the woman who struggles the most and carries the emotional labor of everyone with inexhaustible resolve.
Beam 1j1h58
Nobody knows how to touch hearts like the artists and entertainers of Pixar. With Beam, the director Domee shi manages to cross the entire narrative arc of a mother-child relationship, from birth to adulthood, introducing unconditional love, rejection and humor, to take the audience on an intense emotional journey – all without saying a word.
Infiltrated in the Klan 5b4w4d
John David Washington plays Ron Stallworth, the Colorado Springs Police Department's first black detective in the 1970s. Washington gives Stallworth a certain nonchalant detachment that softens the gravity of his mission: to infiltrate and expose a local core of Ku Klux Klan. A strong ing cast - including Adam Driver as Detective Philip "Flip" Zimmerman and Topher Grace as a clumsy David Duke - offers some welcome comic relief. But you won't laugh when Infiltrated in the Klan, from the principal Spike Lee, make a 180-degree pitch shift in the final minutes, so the audience won't forget how little the United States (among other countries) has evolved in racial issue.
Black Panther 5o16j
Black Panther was released in February 2018 – a year ago. Usually, when a movie comes out at the beginning of the year, it's quickly forgotten. But Black Panther was the highest grossing last year. And people are still talking about him.
The director Ryan Coogler gave us a movie of Marvel that was unlike anything we'd seen in the superhero genre. The titular hero, played by Chadwick Boseman, is kind and sensitive and is not threatened by the multiple strong female characters who are constantly saving his life. The villain", Eric Killmonger (interpreted by Michael B. Jordan), is a complex character and not just a plot feature. And the visuals of the fictional African country Wakanda are impressive.
At the end of the year, we also received Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Somehow, two of the best movies of the year were based on comic book characters from Marvel.
a star is born 2ye25
To TK, from the editorial board of Daily Dot, someone has to defend Ally. “Before I saw the remake, I saw all the memes people were making from snippets of the trailer. So it was impossible to go into the movie with a clear mind. But memes didn't prepare me for a movie where Bradley Cooper got annoyed on stage during an awards ceremony. Or to Lady Gaga playing catchy music. Really, this movie has it all. "Shallow" will never get out of my head and I've accepted that fact."
Vice 5g2l1v
Christian Bale step into the skin of the controversial Dick Cheney, Vice President of the United States in the government of George W. Bush. In his illustrious political career he collects heinous actions, but Vice content to simply point and laugh. The film was written and directed by Adam McKay.
RBG 2q5y4l
Documentary about the life of Ruth Bader GinsburgDirected by Betsy West e Julie Cohen. Features interviews with family , fans and Gloria Steinem, and manages to be broader and deeper than the fictional Hollywood narrative that came out the same year.
Even in their dutiful documentation, it is clear that RBG is a movie for fans of ginsburg: The deeply humanizing portrait includes a tour of her necklaces and a confirmation of her famous internet workout routine, plus a small taste of the typically austere woman with a sharp sense of humor (and a bad reputation in the kitchen). As half the United States breathes a sigh of relief to see ginsburg returning to the Supreme Court after lung cancer surgery earlier this year is the perfect time to bring the fan club together with RBG.
First Reformed 5r3i1y
Nominated for best original screenplay, the film brings Ethan Hawke like Ernst Toller, a self-destructive pastor from New York State and his crisis of faith. It's a slow movie about decay and collapse.
Cold War 6k3p4n
Inspired by the director's parents relationship Pawel Pawlikowski, the film shows over 15 years, the Poland of the post-war period. We get glimpses of the life of Wiktor e Zula, a musician and a promising young singer, together and relating at a distance. The backdrop of the government of the Soviet Union is a constant shadow, which corrupts and influences aspects of their art, separates and brings them together, driving them away from their homeland. It's intoxicating and hypnotic, even when following their hearts brings them nothing but misery. And the way the Cold War is told, both the way it is filmed and its formation through the music, hold your attention from beginning to end.
Could You Forgive Me? 1i1l64
Despite having three major nominations (actress, ing actor and adapted screenplay), Could you forgive me? still feel like an underdog. starring Melissa McCarthy like a down-on-his-luck writer who becomes a forger, her director, Marielle Heller, was snubbed by awards season. Meanwhile, we have controversial choices like Green Book e Bohemian Rhapsody. Fortunately, the film will have a long shelf life, thanks to its memorable performances and authentic portrayal of two lonely gay men living in New York City in the early 90s.
