Should it have lost to Ratatouille?

>>90175903
A better question is, why are you still affixing any value on an Oscar?

>>90175903
It was a better movie than Ratatouille and it was nice to see something non-disney win but really >>90176058 fpbp

>>90175903
No but you shouldn't expect a non-Disney/Pixar movie to win in animation 99% of the time.

I'm going to say it straight up. Yes, it should've lost to Ratatouille.

>>90175903
What's insulting is this was the year they decided to do the "ha ha cartoons are all lighthearted and we're treating them as srs business "bit.

>>90176058

this

>Academy voters made of Hollywood people
>decide to vote for the Hollywood movies they and their friends made over some fucking chinese shit

Is this really surprising?

>>90176211
Anton Ego is Pixar's best villain

>>90176058
I agree.

It's always the same bait that wins every year and it's just a Hollywood circlejerk

>>90176536
Yeah, and a lot of Academy voters don't give a fuck about animated movies, they often don't even bother watching the movies they're voting on.

>>90175903
They made that innocent guy in the comics who she got arrested into a pervert. Fuck this movie.

>>90176536
I thought persepolis was french and also, a chinese cartoon got best animated feature in 2003.

>>90177012
No, Persepolis is Chinese. All foreign cartoons are Chinese.

>>90176629
Ego wasnt a villain though. He was just a food critic.

Yes, it should. Persepolis is a good film, but Ratatouille is simply great.

>Happy Feet wins Oscar
>One year later Surf's Up gets nominated
>Academy becomes puzzled, collectively says 'Didn't a penguin movie win last year?'
>Academy collectively decides 'Fuck this copycat, give the Oscar to Pixar's rat movie'

The same thing happened with Shark Tale thanks to Finding Nemo, at least Dreamworks had the dignity of not trying to sequelize that unlike Sony Animation needing the WWE's help to get a direct-to-dvd sequel.

>>90175903
Yes. Besides its artstyle, it wasn't anything special. Ratatouille looked great and had the substance to back its style up.

>>90176058
This desu!!!

>>90176975
I remember that. Got me so angry I wasn't even sad after all the shit she went through later

I liked the first half of Persepolis where it explored growing up in freaky revolutionary Iran but then she turned into a kinda stereotypical artsy piece of shit when she grew up, so it's basically half a good movie for me

So strange. It's like half interesting and relateable coming of age tale, half Rent. Fuck Rent.

What is it with indie comics? I had a similar problem with Maus. The holocaust stuff was interesting but all the stuff with Spiegelman in the modern day dealing with his dad made me just want to slap him. The man survived the goddamn holocaust, humor him, you stupid baby

The graphic novels were better, especially for the first half.

>>90175903
>Ratatouille is about Frenchmen but everybody speaks English.
>Persepolis is about Iranians but everybody speaks French.

Really makes tu pense.

>>90183946
there's a France in Iran

>>90181315
I've got the artbook for this and it's fucking brilliant. There are posters and postcards and shit in envelopes and invites and stuff you can take out, it's got seriously good production value over the usual Pixar art of books. I mean the art and style of the movie is great but the book is well done for an artbook.

We all know who the real winner should have been.

>>90175903
Yes, the second half of Persepolis was terrible. Also remember being made that she snitched on some innocent man to save her own hide. The Grandmother was the only good character in the film, to the point that I wished she was the main character.

That movie was equally meh (even though it looked amazing). Should have been Song of the Sea or Lego Movie.

>>90186752

>>90176058
Honestly, I put more value in the taste of Oscar nominations than this fucking board. If /co/ was in charge Persepolis wouldn't even be nominated.

>>90186831
Lol ikr????

>>90186752
I wouldn't mind an SoL in the style of persepolis, desu. The first half was basically SoL anyway. Has definite potential

Never change, /co/

Movies are inherently a visual medium. It's strongest suit must be cinematography.

In animation this is even more important.

Ratatouille had way better cinematography and a much easier to digest art style.

I hate Oscar's, but to deny this is silly.

>>90175903
In all honesty, the more I watched this movie, the more I hated her. She was a spoiled cunt from beginning to end and that's really saying something considering where she was from but she still had the audacity to act as if the world had wronged her in some way.

>>90181748
>Critics are automatically villains

Did you see the movie? In the movie they put a spin on this.

>>90187030
Stop using words like "inherently" everywhere. It adds nothing to the sentence.

Also, Persepolis art style is inspired from old Persian manuscripts and just because it happens to be minimalist doesn't mean it has better or worse cinematography than the elaborate opulence shown in Ratatouille. Both films are different not just in cinematography but in tone, structure, themes and, yes, target audience. They shouldn't be compared at all

>>90175903
why? it was a shit movie. at least ratatouille was enjoyable

>>90187244
Good. Now explain why you think it was a shit movie

>>90186752
Heh. Pity she grew up to be such a complete woman

>>90187132
I used it once, fuck off.

And the origins of an art style maybe nice, but the fact that said culture literally says visual artistic depictions as sacrilege only strengthens my opinion that it is down right not good art.

art is terrible, horrible characters, the story is all over the place, boring as fuck, probably could have been better as a live action movie, in fact I think I once saw a movie very similar to this.

>>90187360
good, putting lens flares on everything and rotoscoping backgrounds doesn't make a good film.

The film was clearly not intended to cater to your taste. Doesn't mean it's shit.

Art was taken from the comic, which was inspired by >>90187481

It's an autobiography. It's meant to be realistic

I don't get this

Again, an autobiography not catering to your taste

Don't bother responding cause I'm leaving for my job. Although if you're lucky I may check in the evening
