Moonlight was an awful flick.
It shouldve been a film about Mahershala Ali as a dope dealer, not some kid being gay, becoming a gangster, then gay again.
i thought birdman was good tho.

+12 Years A Nigger & Moonlight

anyone that doesn't say crash is fucking retarded

>>84618756
Dude, get the fuck out. 12 years is objectively a boring movie with boring plot, boring pacing and average acting. Moonlight is a pretentious joke.
Lala land was boring but it sure as fuck was leagues better than Moonlight.
Past two years there was this whole shitshow with OscarsSoWhite and the very next year there is record number of awards for black actors, and you are going to tell me something about being liked.

12 years a slave is a 10/10 m8.
If you cant look past the dark history that is slavery in the US, then thats your problem, but the acting, the music, the dialogue, the production were all 10/10.

>>84618880
Moonlight wasn't just praised for having black people in it though. It was also praised for its performances, use of color, cinematography, and the fact that its themes are universal.

The irony of people whining that it's about muh black people is that THEY'RE the ones obsessing over race, while everyone else sees a movie about a kid struggling to grow up and find his place in the world as an adult. Even though he's raised in extraordinary circumstances he still deals with things that everyone is familiar with, like peer pressure, finding love, and being a loner. By the end of the movie it's made abundantly clear that physical appearance doesn't matter- Chiron is this big, bulky macho man but it's all a facade to hide the fact that he's still shy and sensitive and a product of the environment he was raised in, Juan obviously being his only father figure.. You can tell just by the expression on his face when he meets Kevin that he's still the same person, deep down. The people who only talk about the fact that it has a black guy in it completely missed the point of the movie, and it wasn't even a deep or complicated one either.

>>84619224
There's nothing, literally nothing pretentious about Moonlight. It tells the story of a guy who doesn't fit in the environment he grew up and happens to be homosexual, that's all there is to it. There are blockbusters with much bigger pretentions on their stortylines and presentation.

You have to be a brainlet to consider a simple coming of age movie to be 'pretentious' on any level.

>>84619224

there were 2 black actors that won oscars this year, the same as 10 years ago when forest whittaker and jennifer hudson won.

sure of course all of the niggers bitching and whining about #OscarsSoWhite was the reason why 2 of them won this year and moonlight won best picture but it's not like it's unprecedented or anything. you guys are all just triggered by black people for some reason and spend hours a day complaining about having to see them in movies and tv.

what happens when you're walking down the street and you see one do you immediately turn around and run the other way? is that autistic enough?

i wouldn't say they're worse than niggers. they're hard working at least and have a high IQ. they're definitely pretty awful though as far as ethnicities/nationalities.

Spotlight. It's not a badly made movie it's just so forgettable and trite.

>>84619360

the problem with 12 Years is it failed to make me care about any of the characters. Did it show that slavery was terrible? yeah it did, but that alone doesn't make for a good movie.

>>84617951
This winning best picture ruined it for me. I feel like it was just an "art" film made for the Oscars. Boyhood should've won for the effort, alone. I liked Birdman better. I still appreciate it for Keaton, mainly, and Norton.

They average IQ for them is what, like 80-something? Not so high, and dragged down by the Negrito remnant populations and the darker southern.

Westerns think they are a smart race because we see the 1% of the billion Indians who move to the West and have IQs. For every Dr. Patel and Singh the Engineering there are like a thousand subhumans back in the homeland taking a shit in the street before drinking cow piss to honor some retarded """"elephant god"""

Slumdog Millionaire, followed by Spotlight

>>84619462
>triggered by black people

Nor the actors, neither the movie had any business winning this year. Last year it should have been Elba, problem was that the movie he was in was Netflix production, so he couldn't because that was clear conflict of interest. I don't give a shit about black actors playing in movies, if it isn't a clear case of black washing.

And I don't meet any black people on the streets, because our lack of diversity not only isn't our strength, it keeps our country in the top 5 safest countries in the world.

It was cheap and easy Oscarbait thanks to people like yourself. it's literally the exact same film every time with no variation of theme or atmosphere. It's a very straightforward representation. I'll admit it was handled more elegantly than say, Selma was, but it's really nothing special. Overly-dramatic, too. My God. Life is not like that. It's cheap when they do it that way.

>>84619930
Selma is nothing like 12 Years a Slave. And can you name all those films about slavery that won Oscars?

Not a single thing you wrote is in any way a valid criticism of a movie. Try making an actual observation based on artistic merit, or lack thereoff.

Ill give you an example of me lauding the film:

>>84619899
And i should give a shit about critics why exactly?

>>84619968
Who cares if they won Oscars or not? They really didn't deserve it anyway. My point about Selma was it's a historical drama handled waaaay too melodramatically and also avoids any kind of challenging thought on the subject matter. It's basically just MLK = Good, Bad guys = bad. It's not even a step above Disney shit. 12 Years a Slave is the same except for "adults". Go and watch The Toxic Avenger of Nightmare on Elm Street if you want truly good and well-made, unique films. Seriously.

>shitting on 12 Years a Slave
Plebs, all of you. It's kino disguised as oscar bait. Steve McQueen is based

>>84620032
Yeah luckily we have movies to break up the monotony of life. Well, movies other than Boyhood

>>84620052
Because they clearly know more about film than you.

>>84620047
>Fassbender's performance was incredible

Not valid.

See, I can act like my opinions are objective, too!

>>84619449
Well crafted but doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Gotta spread those hobbits and Fantastic 4s out more

>>84620081
Only thing I don't like about slavery movies is the fake ass white actors who leak stories to the press about how they had real trouble saying "nigger" and had to be pushed to keep going
Cumbersnatch in 12 years, Leo in Django

>>84620078
>They really didn't deserve it anyway.
Most people disagree with you.

>>84620146
Yeah that's always pretty cringeworthy

>>84620136

Now youre being silly. Fassbender as an Irish drunkard rapist in love with his black slave was a performance for the ages.

>>84620136
No, he's right. Calling something oscar-bait, cheap, nothing special, or straightforward is simply too vague to be considered actual criticism.

>>84620164
Which Slavery movies deserved Oscars? Maybe Django Unchained. I'll give you 12 Years a Slave because, while I thought it was melodramatic, I still think it's a decent film with some neat camera tricks.

What else?

>>84620192
I actually agree with you. I thought he was great. he looks like the devil when he's forcing the slaves to dance. I just feel like the film is similar to <em>Schindler's List</em> in the way it rubs your face in the "history" and presents things in, pardon the pun, black and white terms almost entirely.

>>84619449

is this like a joke picture? so many Adam Sandler movies.

>>84620371
I'm asking for other films you thought were deserving.

>>84620272

>he looks like the devil
No, he looks like a man with the power over other human beings, due to slavery. People show their true face when they have power over other human beings.

>I just feel like the film is similar to <em>Schindler's List</em> in the way it rubs your face in the "history" and presents things in, pardon the pun, black and white terms almost entirely.

Yeah yeah, its all some gigantic conspiracy to end the white race yada yada.

If you hate ((((((((((them))))))))))) so much, why dont you stop watching films? I personally hate holocaust films(due to the political connotation), but that doesnt mean that some of them arent pure kino.

>>84620146
>leak stories to the press
they have to give interviews and that question will almost always come up.
if they were to say otherwise it would be a neverending shitstorm

>>84620402
Uhh...

>>84620425
The details are what gives them away. If they get asked about the N word and just say "yeah I didn't like it" it's a different story

>>84620393
I think Moonlight and 12 Years a Slave deserved their Oscars much more than films like Argo or Crash.

>>84620037
Chicago is a decent musical but how it won the oscar I really don't know. Probably the most prime example of 'guess the academy just loves musicals', it's really not all that special.
Crash is garbage unsubtle melodrama.
The Artist is a nice exercise in recreating the silent style but ultimately very forgettable, some good performances in it but should've never won the best picture.
Moonlight is pretty good, though more of in the tier of 'good indie movie that you'd recommend to people', not best picture tier.

The only movie with a realistic representation of slavery is gone with the wind.

>taking the oscars seriously
>ever
Reminder that Apocalypse Now lost best picture to Kramer vs Kramer

>>84620402
I'm not saying the "history" didn't happen. That's not what I meant by using quotation marks. I just mean I doubt it happened the way these films present it. Wouldn't it be great if we were given more human moments rather than just all doom and gloom the whole time? Look at Life is Beautiful, for example, or some of Paul Thomas Anderson and Robert Altman films which utilize a full emotional spectrum. That's all I'm asking for. Frankly, I don't have the patience for films which make you feel guilty and depressed the ENTIRE time you're watching them. It's simply manipulative and unrealistic, no matter how you look at it.

>>84620488
Again, I'll agree with you.

I personally see the oscars as nothing more than Hollywood politics and money/job oppurtinites for people with the correct group of friends. It's why people like PTA are rarely ever noticed in these awards shows.

>>84620481
>using the term n-word
cringe

>>84620631
"If they get asked about the N word", my /pol/tard friend. I have no trouble writing or saying nigger, I'm not an americuck

>>84620580

Are you saying that a handful of house slaves of a wealthy southern family are representative of the slaves picking cotton, or even working in mines?

Seems like youre just trying to internalize the notion that slaves didnt suffer at the hands of their white masters at all. In fact it really sounds like you still cannot accept the fact that slavery is a destructive force of pain and lifelong suffering.

Furthermore you probably should know that the slavery in the Mediterranean in the age of the Roman Empire was so ruthless and universal, that it enabled the most popular ideology in the history of the world to spread like a wild fire, because it promised a life after this one and that all men were created and were equally loved by "him".

Food for thought.

I'm shocked it even made it to theaters because it has the definition of made-for-TV production.

>>84620703
That's a TV show, not a film.

>>84620605
All films are manipulative and unrealistic. Not trying to sound condescending, but some of us are older than most and we remember the days before "hyper-realism", when suddenly everything had to be "realistic".

Movies arent real life. As much as we all wish that "Master and Commander" was really how it looked like on a ship in the early 19th century, we must accept that its just an interpretation.

As you correctly state, some films with a historical background can easily fall prey to the personal views of the director/producer, but that is secondary to the fact that history is in books, not on film.

The word nigger is like the name of voldemort and n-word is like "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" it's ridiculous .

>>84620699
If there is a place for doom and gloom it's a slavery (or holocaust) film, sure. But don't try and tell me there weren't human moments there as well. I have no doubt that at its worst it was representative of what happened in the films. I've seen enough gore shit on here to know that, and I'm a sheltered North American kid. I'm just saying, given the modern political climate and the "point" being hammered in while also being obviously put in context with what's happening today, it got to be a bit much. Maybe that's just my privilege speaking, I don't know.

>>84620830
Yes, this is why I usually watch films like The Toxic Avenger or '80s Horror Movies and other trash genres as I mentioned earlier in the thread. I steer right clear of Oscarbait bullshit and usually give it a couple years to see what people are still talking about before I wander back. The Toxic Avenger is pure kino, though, desu.

Black Americans should be grateful their ancestors were brought as slaves to the US. They are much better off than the Negroids who stayed in Africa or were enslaved and brought to the Muslim lands.

>>84620758
Ben Affleck is the single greatest actor/director/producer in the last 60 years of film. His non-stop stream of smart and emotionally provocative films prove this. The Town? Classic. Argo? Classic. This man oozes genius out the ass and leaves the steaming pile for consumption by hacks like Paul Anderson and Scorsese. Actors look to him for whatever they need. He's always the first on casting lists for any and all parts. You want a snarky business man? Who else but Affleck. A femme fatale who will do whatever it takes to get the mission done? Affleck. A prominent civil rights leader? Affleck. He passes on a lot of these because he knows what he wants. That's what makes him alpha. He knows exactly where to go and what to do. Damon just rides his coattails. Long live Boston. Long live Affleck.

Seeing as it offends people even when used in that context, and seeing as there is hardly ever a good reason to be talking about the word in the first place, it's just best practice to avoid saying it.

>>84621025
Also this. We're all growing tired of the bitching and if you really hate it here so much you should go back to Africa. Life isn't easy for anyone, okay? It's not all my fault your life sucks. In fact, at this point, unless you were born in a ghetto, I'd say it's almost 100 percent your own fault. Take some fucking responsibility. Either that or we're all victims of circumstance and in that case whining is pretty much worthless, as well. I agree that change needs to happen, but show some fucking empathy for other people and fucking appreciate what "we" built for you here.
