I don't see Mr. Nobody as a award's movie. Not that it is not worthy, but I think some productions transcend this kind of acknowledgment.Amelie's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196783118165912805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927274601688828959.post-3016308156973893192015-05-01T21:38:13.034-03:002015-05-01T21:38:13.034-03:00Yea, I also see the Academy Awards in a similar wa...Yea, I also see the Academy Awards in a similar way, to be honest, I still watch it every year for the production of it and not for the awards being granted. I'm just saying this one should've been praised for its preciousness.<br />Yes, I loved Leto in Dallas Buyers Club, he was incredible. Just saying he should've won for Mr. Nobody first :)<br /><br />[ j ][ joe ]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17528042707758318530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927274601688828959.post-14567718313967848032015-05-01T17:00:45.018-03:002015-05-01T17:00:45.018-03:00Sorry my mistake! I will right it. Looking forward... Sorry my mistake! I will right it. Looking forward to see more of your film!!!<br />Matrix was a pioneer in a lot of aspects, but it is not alone for sure, even in technical aspects. <br />About the Oscars, I love it, it is one time at the year when the night is all mine to put my feet up, with a glass of sparkling wine or a Guinness, and text friends about movies, actors, dresses lol. It's been like this for 34 years now (less the texting, and the liquor when I was a kid). But the award is not a reference for me. It made me so mad sometimes that I gave up this aspect of the show. Because it is just that, a terribly fun show once a year around movies and the people that make it. And it is nice to think that some films are out of it actually, in a place where they can be very special. <br />One question: didn't you like Leto in Club Dallas? I thought he was the whole movie's reason of being.Amelie's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14196783118165912805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2927274601688828959.post-75317131675555371552015-05-01T14:51:55.325-03:002015-05-01T14:51:55.325-03:00Firstly, I was happy to hear you had a dream about...Firstly, I was happy to hear you had a dream about my film (although it is a short film, not a feature hehe), as I value the power of dreams to a great extent.<br />As for Mr. Nobody, I understand how Matrix set the tone for what sci-fi movies would look like and emulate over the next generations, but no other film spoke to me, with such depth, in terms of breaking down life and reality like this one.<br />It leaves me deeply thunderstruck that Jaco Van Dormael wrote this screenplay from scratch, and on top of that, directed it and brilliantly so. There is no aspect of the directing in this film that I am not 100% fond of. Everything about it, both technical and story-wise, is impeccable. This is, to me, the most underrated movie of the new century, but then again, such geniousness would never please the masses in the same palatable way it does the group of us with enough sensibility to appreciate it. The way the different possibilities for Nemo's life are weaved together so seamlessly, and the use of stunning imagery that Jaco made in order to tell his story is what qualifies this as a master piece and, in my opinion, one of the best pictures ever made. I love his depiction of future times, it's so elegant and believable. And I love that Jared Leto stars in it, his dedicated acting in this piece is outstanding in his career. People seem to only praise him for "Requiem for a dream", but to me this is his most stellar job to this day. This should've been his Oscar win, if there was ever any fairness in the Academy Awards (well, if there was some, this film should've been nominated in a number of categories, I'm just saying).<br />Anyway, I'm happy that you watched this. You deserve this film :)<br /><br />[ j ][ joe ]https://www.blogger.com/profile/17528042707758318530noreply@blogger.com
