They are relatable, and provoke a strong reaction in sort of a cathartic way. It's hard to really describe. I'm the same way. Here are some non-BP nominees from 21st century that I think fit that category: Goodbye Solo Treeless Mountain (Korea) Nobody Knows (Japan) Mary and Max (Australia) Waltz with Bashir (Israel) The Wrestler Into the Wild Diving Bell and the Butterfly (France) The Death of Mr Lazarescu (Romania) Last Life in the Universe (Thailand) The Return (Russia) 21 Grams Monster's Ball Requiem for a Dream A.I.

I wanted to love it, but it just seemed kind of pointless. I think it's a great movie because of different things. I think a lot of the dialogue was really brilliant, and there were a lot of interesting concepts. I loved the ideas of the mom trying to give him an innocent childhood, and him trying to use what he learned from his parents' relationship to help with his relationships. The father's stroyline was also really emotional, imo. I also thought the ending was perfect.

It literally felt like one of the longest movies I've ever watched. However Franco should have won that year. Or Bridges. It depends on the day for me.

Automatically people want them to be good so that subconscious affinity trumps any conscious dislike for them.

NOMINATION ANALYSIS: Picture, Director, S. Actor (Bardem), A. Screenplay, Editing, Cinematography, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing. Gotta love how it only won the big awards. No Country for Old Men is the decade's best thriller, with some of the�strongest acting I've ever seen. Bardem obviously deserved the Oscar for the sheer badassery of his performance (I'm shocked Blue didn't include�Anton in the ORG), but Tommy Lee Jones is perfect as the worn down sheriff (and his narration!), Brolin and Harrelson�are great as well. The Coens really were the perfect choice to direct the novel, which was masterful. The casting was truly inspired, as most actors are at their best when doing parts dissimilar to themselves. Bardem had never fired a gun and spoke shit English before this movie, for example. The film was also one of the most beautiful films of the decade, with the desert never looking so sparse. The film was a musical void but it worked. The fact that the three main characters never appeared on screen together amazes. This Western noir chills to the bone and every sound becomes an "oh god" moment. Brilliant, and it's not even the best Coen film-that would be Fargo. (Oh, and for those of you who hated the ending, it's word for word what happened in the book.) Hint for #4: Spoiler [+] Not directed by Ang Lee.

I thought the lead in Nobody Knows gave the best performance by a child actor, ever, and the older sister in Treeless Mountain was absolutely breathtakingly believable.

That's another one I feel I should probably have a little bit higher. For me, it's one that you have to let gestate, and not base your opinion on the intitial reaction.

IDC about how long it took Tatum to do some scenes or whatever, the end product is one of the most interesting performances in cinema history.

Posts: 1400 04/21/12 10:19 AM Reply Quote More Recent Posts	The ending for No Country For Old Men makes perfect sense when you consider that Tommy Lee Jones is the main character and not Josh Brolin like everyone thought. It's the only film I can think of beside Psycho to use the "fake protagonist" trick btw, which is kind of genius on its own. The story is about how TLJ tries and fails to catch a criminal because he's out of touch and not up to it anymore, hence the title. I think it's hard to compare the Coens' adaptations to their original work, as they lack all the usual quirks, but I agree that No Country is a pretty solid #2. Fargo is #1, obviously.

I LOVE the Coen Brothers and agree that Fargo is #1 and would also have True Grit as #2, though The Big Lebowski is great so IDK. But I fucking hate NCFOM. I just ugh it makes me mad thinking about it. Bardem deserved his Oscar, but other than that the only part I liked was Kelly McDonald. Also Justin Henry is my favorite child performance of all-time.

Also she had to voice the dialouge anyway when she was acting. I like Tatum O'Neal's performance though. But no way in hell did she deserve the Oscar when The Exorcist and Cries and Whispers came out that year. Here's my Top 10: 1. Linda Blair 2. Jodie Foster, Taxi Driver 3. Anna Paquin, The Piano 4. Ivana Baquero, Pan's Labyrinth 5. Natalie Portman, Leon the Professional 6. Haley Joel Osment, The Sixth Sense 7. Kirsten Dunst, Interview with the Vampire 8. Tatum O'Neal 9. Christian Bale, Empire of the Sun 10. Danny Lloyd, The Shining The Top 3 should've won the Oscar.
