Posts: 4359 04/11/12 12:18 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	#6. 127 Hours (2010) Just about every element of this movie was Oscar worthy, even in a year as tough as this one. I'd call this the second best year for movies of the 21st century, after 2008, and even still, I think this movie should've swept the Oscars. As far as the technical categories go, I thought it should have won Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Cinematography, and it wasn't even nominated for those awards. The sounds in the movie were brutal, and even chilling, which means they did their job. There were also moments where people's voices and other sounds were faded to convey the idea of deliriousness and faint memories. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous, featuring beautiful views of the outdoors. It was also smart as well. The scenes it would show at different points in the movie would reflect the mood at that point. It would look dreary at times, and breath taking at others. The editing was also brilliant, and I thought it should've won that too. There was a lot of back and forth between flashbacks and the present, and between fantasy and reality, as well as side by side shots of different events, and they're all used to convery the right thoughts and emotions at the right times. My biggest problems with the awards it lost though were in the two music categories. As a hardcore music fan, I thought the score was absolutely tremendous. There were heartbreaking pieces, and intense, exciting works as well. Like with every other category, each moment of the score was used at all the right places to give the movie the full effect. The scene with the rain, and the scene after he escapes at the end were as incredible as they were partly because of the music. "If I Rise" was also the best song to be written for a movie since "Falling Slowly". That was also utilized beautifully, for the scene where Aron saw the premonition of his son, and decided to live. The directing was great too, and I think it should've won for Best Director. Every element of the movie was used to reach its full effect, and it all enhanced a brilliant script. The script was extremely fascinating. It was great to see not only the survival aspect of the movie, but the psychological aspect of the situation. I loved seeing the toll it took on him, and how he responded to it. The reflections on his family, friends, and relationships were depressing, yet inspirational at the same time. The idea that he was making the choice to live, and how that was powered by his vision of his future son, and the idea that his life would be better, was just great, and it was all executed perfectly. It says a lot about the movie that I've been able to say all this, and I haven't even mentioned James Franco yet. His performance falls right outside of my top 5 performances on this list, and I thought it was easily the best performance of 2010. He made me feel like I was there with him, feeling everything he felt. I also thought it was one of the most difficult roles on the list. It might be second to Daniel Day-Lewis's role in There Will Be Blood. James had to be so versatile. He was great in the beginning, even before he was trapped, as a fun loving, careless, adventurer, with a great sense of humor. Then he turned into this emotionally distraught, physically exhausted man, who had to be sad, angry, funny, depressed, weak, strong, hopeful, hopeless, and just about everything else, in just 90 minutes. His performance was an emotional knockout, as was the rest of the movie. It was an absolutely beautiful depiction of how much life can mean to someone, and what they will do for a second chance at it. Major awards it won or was nominated for: Best Picture (lost) James Franco for Best Actor (lost) Best Adapted Screenplay (lost) Major awards / nominations I would've given it: Best Picture (award) Best Director (award) James Franco for Best Actor (award) Best Adapted Screenplay (award) My nominees in order for Best Picture of 2010: 1. 127 Hours 2. Toy Story 3 3. The King's Speech 4. Inception 5. True Grit 6. Blue Valentine 7. Winter's Bone 8. Rabbit Hole 9. Black Swan 10. Never Let Me Go

The beginning had me extremely confused with the masses of people but than it made the disparity between Aron's later misfortune and that became really clear. I think my favorite part is when he reenacts himself on a talk show and it truly shows the onset of his fear and loneliness.

Actress (Breslin),. O. Screenplay. ONLY FOUR? WHAT THE FUCK. If 2006 hadn't been such a strong year for acting I would have very seriously considered nominating all six main characters in their respective categories, but only the two who the Academy actually nominated make it (and I agree with Arkin's win, which I know is not a popular opinion). One of the strongest ensembles�I've ever seen. Little Miss Sunshine is a very funny film, but it's also one of the most emotionally affecting movies of the decade. Sheryl and Richard's marriage is dying, and Sheryl is just barely tolerant of Richard's self-righteousness. Carell showed that he could fucking ACT with Frank. The look on his face when he's in the hospital is just devastating. Dano's Dwayne shows little to no emotion, making his breakdown on the side of the road even more shocking. But Breslin and Arkin's relationship is the best part for sure. Arkin is hilarious as the heroin addicted grandfather but he is a very real person. Olive is not a typical child and she's completely unsuited for beauty paegants, but we feel bad for her like we feel bad for those kids on Toddlers and Tiaras (if you watch that shit, which I don't). The soundtrack is brilliant ("The Winner Is" is a great track) and I just love Little Miss Sunshine. Maybe because everyone is so relatable. Hint for #6: Spoiler [+] Gave an actor/actress their first Oscar nomination.

Posts: 4359 04/17/12 12:01 PM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	#5. Brokeback Mountain (2005) This is one of the most most emotionally powerful movies to be released in the 21st century. The directing is absolutely breath taking. The movie excels in various technical aeas such as the score and the cinematography, and all of it works to create an incredibly depressing mood. The performances were also fantastic. This is the first movie that comes to mind when I consider which movies of the 21st century had the best overall casts. Anne Hathaway gave a solid performance throughout, until her final scene, where she brilliantly conveyed her character's thoughts without saying them, and took the performance to a whole new level. Michelle Williams gave probably one of the ten best supporting female performances of the century so far, if only for the incredible scene where she tells Heath's character that she knows she they had been doing. Jake Gyllenhaal, in my opinion, gave the second best supporting male performance of the 21st century, only to Heath Ledger in the Dark Knight. Jake in this movie gave an extremely powerful performance, but it was Heath Ledger who in this movie, had his greatest performance ever in my opinion, and one of the top four or five greatest performances of the century. Every word and mannerism was conveyed in such a way that gave his character an interesting personality, and intrigued the viewer, yet frustrated them as his character did to so many people in the movie. The script is absolutely brilliant. The dialogue is poetic, and only heightened by the brilliant performances. The situation that is created in the movie is basically the idea of two people who are choosing to live unsatisfying lives, because of society's views, and their own shame. They find in each other the perfect opportunity to live happy lives, but they choose to pass it up. It is extremely depressing because it takes place throughout almost twenty years, and nothing changes for them, and the final result is tragic. The last three scenes, the phone call between Anne Hathaway and Heath Ledger, Heath visiting Jake's parents' house, and Heath talking to his daughter, are all incredible, and the movie ends with the viewer hit with a wave of intense depression. It's a movie about wasted lives and missed opportunities for happiness, and it's one of the most depressing movies I've ever seen. Major awards it won or was nominated for: Best Picture (lost) Best Director (won) Heath Ledger for Best Actor (lost) Jake Gyllenhaal for Best Supporting Actor (lost) Michelle Williams for Best Supporting Actress (lost) Best Adapted Screenplay (won) Major awards / nominations I would've nominated it for: Best Picture (award) Best Director (award) Heath Ledger for Best Actor (award) Jake Gyllenhaal for Best Supporting Actor (award) Michelle Williams for Best Supporting Actress (award) Best Adapted Screenplay (award) My nominees in order for Best Picture of 2005: 1. Brokeback Mountain 2. Crash 3. Rent 4. Sylvia 5. Match Point

NOMINATION ANALYSIS: Picture, Director, Actor (Eisenberg), A. Screenplay, Score, Editing, Cinematography, Sound. Social Network successfully tapped into the country's new Internet obsession that had become an international one over the past few years, as well as its effect on people's social skills, as well as showing the world just how entitled the Winklevi twins are. Tee hee. The movie is not only intensely witty and totally deserved the Screenplay nod, but it has a great performance from Eisenberg, and it's technically brilliant. The rowing scene at Cambridge to "In the Hall of the Mountain King" was amazing. Some people say that if Facebook fades away a la MySpace the movie will lose its relevancy. No it won't, because it will work as a story of a website that had its glory and faded out. MySpace always kinda sucked, from what I've seen. (I don't have a Facebook.) I ended up getting pulled away after I wrote that last sentence and I'm too lazy to think of anything else so I'll just say The Social Network is excellent. YOUR TOP 5, EVERYONE: BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN-2005 CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON-2000 LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING-2003 MOULIN ROUGE!-2001 NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN-2007 The only film in common for me and ILK is Brokeback (which ILK eliminated) and LOTR3. Hint for #5: Spoiler [+] Not either of the above two movies that I mentioned.

Posts: 4359 04/18/12 10:13 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	I think depressing movies tend to have a much stronger effect than sad movies. I would call Million Dollar Baby depressing, but I'd call something like Titanic sad. Anyway, I like depressing movies for their storylines, which are usually fascinating, and often based on realistic human struggles, even if the stories themselves aren't necessarily realistic, like with Memento or Sweeney Todd. They are relatable, and provoke a strong reaction in sort of a cathartic way. It's hard to really describe.
