Movie Talk (New Films, Old Films... doesn't matter) (36 Viewers)

I'm plowing my way through this year's Oscar-nominated films. Parasite, The Irishman, American Factory and recently Les Miserables (2019) are my favorites so far, but I think it's quite a strong year in general. Les Miserables, in particular, left a really strong impression on me. Super gritty, hard-hitting film: Training Day meets City of God/La Haine or something like that.

I have to say though, that for a short film, Brotherhood is really, really good. It's a great story with some interesting twist and turns along the way, and it's immaculately filmed. If you have 25 minutes to spare, it's well worth the watch:

What do you mean by download?
Legal download or otherwise?

Edit. Legally I think it's on Amazon prime video.

I have Amazon Prime. Do you usually pay an extra to watch a movie that is that recent?

I think you need to pay a monthly fee for Amazon prime video , just like it's the case with Netflix.
You can try it for free I think ,for a month.

I'm already subscribed and pay the standard fee, I was wondering if there was an additional cost since it's a recent movie. Unless that is what you meant

I Don't think so. Either way ,before you play it ,if it is an extra cost ,you should receive a notification with the cost.

I literally saw that on imdb 2 hours ago and started laughing. It just popped up! I will watch it

I usually never watch Oscars past years, I tuned in this time for my favourite movie of the year, it dominated and took home 4 out of the 6 major nominations it had, including best picture, Parasite

I'm so glad Phoenix won for Joker. It was by far the greatest performance I've seen in quite some time.

Parasite winning both Best Picture and Best Director is awesome as well. The movie was great on many levels and pretty special too. Both of those films wre my top 2 last years probably so I'm happy.

Deakins

Worthy winners Parasite and Joaquin Phoenix, also Brad Pitt played good.
I watched yesterday Winterlight from Bergman, interesting film.

I ain't getting up at 3:30am to watch it now, that's for sure.

Parasite was good, and glad to see a foreign film finally take the title. The US film industry is mostly formulaic rubbish (I puke at every Marvel release ), so we need to recognize new voices. Perhaps now they should do away with the Best International Feature Film category as redundant. But I am not sure what was my favorite movie last year yet.

But then I am a weirdo who liked 2018's Burning as a better Korean movie than Parasite : it seemed less contrived (Parasite suffers from more than a couple of suspension-of-disbelief snags), more creative, and it haunted me far longer than the candy bar that was Parasite.

The whole award parade thing is also a bit weird. Marlon Brando got that much right 50 years ago. It's like posting on social media not for the art but for the likes.

People are so caught up in "snubs" and "noms" and inclusion that they're drained all the artistic enjoyment out of the craft, turning it into a freakish popularity contest.

 

[Osman]

Agreed with most except some things about Parasite. I'm going to find and watch Burning tho because that's high praise. What you said about Burning is the case for me in a japanese movie from 2018 called shoplifters. It was brilliant and deserved all the award accolades, but got non, not even a nomination in Oscar's etc.

Now you're just lying.
