The following films are not so bad, but they still do not pull on Oscarone:
"Chicago" (2002)
We all know that in front of the musicals, the film academy is not able to resist (hello "La La Landa"). At the ceremony in 2003, Chicago won 6 Oscars at once - for the best roles, scenery, costume design, and unexpectedly for many, as the best movie.
"Chicago" tells about two killers, Velm (Catherine Zeta Johns) and Rynese (Rene Zelweger) who are fighting for a place under the light of Sofita and for freedom. On the stage it is fun, but on the big screen is not at all funny. The atmosphere of satire, thanks to which the Broadway musical was so wonderful, spoiled tasteless scenery and the fake singing of stars that work out the fee (Richard Gira's singing should be banned at the national level).
From Catherine Zeta-Johns Welma came out fantastic, but alone did not stretch the picture and she.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Pianist", "Gangs of New York"
"Kramer vs. Kramer"
In fact, "Kramer vs. Kramer" is the most ordinary melodrama that focuses on the relationship of the workaholic father and his son after the divorce divorce seven. In the center of the plot - the battle for custody over a child, who gives a tear from the audience and changes the life of his parents.
There is nothing outstanding in the film, except for the delightful game of Dustina Hoffman and Meryl Strip, which deservedly received Oscar. This is a good movie to watch different times, but it will completely fade next to the Apocalypse Today, Ford Coppola.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Apocalypse today"
"Ordinary people"
In 1981, "Mad Bull" Martin Scorsese, one of his best films, "flew" past all major awards, and the place of paintings on Oscar took the ordinary film "Ordinary People", in which the grieving family is trying to heal spiritual wounds after the death of the elder Son. The youngest son, Conrad, suffers from the feeling of the guilt of the survivor and PTSD, while his mother Beth tries to return to normal life and does not help his son.
The fact that "ordinary people" bypassed the "mad bull" in the struggle for Oscar, showed very clearly: Members of the Film Academy prefer "realistic" family dramas films moving the boundaries. Defenders of "ordinary people" as the main argument argued that this film showed mental disorders even when such things were taboo. Even if so, then it was very quickly forgotten and almost not remembered. On the other hand, "Mad Bull" does not just use the love of the audience to this day, but also regularly enters the lists of the best films - and the 80s, and in the history of Hollywood as a whole.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Mad bull"
"Around the world for 80 days" (1956)
Until now, it is not clear how "around the world for 80 days" generally managed to get a nomination for Oscar, not the fact that the reward itself - because the picture is not in vain at all call the worst owner of the statuette in the category "Best Movie". Most likely, the "Oscar" was given by the film, reward due to an incredibly complex production process: during the filming "around the world for 80 days" changed about 140 shooting sites, 74 thousand suits and used 8 and a half thousand animals and more than 68 thousand highlights of the extras. Let all this have established new records in the film industry (some of which no one beat it to this day), but the film is still not enough that spark that was at the Roman Jules Verne.
The comedy came out predictable and empty - but at the same time somehow overturned such strong films as the "Ten Commandments" and "King and I". The only "legacy" "around the world for 80 days" is a phenomenon as Kameo, in fact "invented" creators of the picture. More than 40 famous actors, for example, Frank Sinatra and Peter Lorre, appeared in Kameo in 1-2 tiny scenes. And it is literally the only one that the Oscar-1 can boast.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Ten Commandments", "King and I"
"Dancing with wolves" (1990)
1990 issued simply fantastic in terms of films is the year of "glorious guys", "ghosts" and "godfather 3". It seems surprising that the top three of these legendary paintings in the category "The Best Film" lost to Kevin Kostmer, the director and the artist of the leading role in the "Dancing with Wolves".
According to the plot, Lieutenant Dunbar, an army officer, during the Civil War, arrives at a distant outpost in Dakota, where there will soon be a friendship with wolves and the local Siou tribe. In fact, the "dancing with wolves" is the same melodrama about the eternal problem of choosing a side, simply against the background of a civil war with a pinch of ethnic exoticism, by some miracle in the struggle for Oscar, bypassed the cult "glorious guys." Martin Scorsese took his own only in 2007, when the long-awaited first Oscar brought "apostates."
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Good guys"
"English Patient" (1996)
"English Patient" is a film that is not in vain called one of the boring films of the 20th century. A picture that goes for more than two hours, through numerous flashbacks reveals the history of the dizzying love of the main character, who tells about his novel already on her deathly odds.
Juliets Binosh and Raif Fyams decently and with fairly good chemistry played their roles, but the film itself "spins" slower snail. However, the members of the Film Academy, apparently, this meditative pace liked more than the amazing acting game Francis McDermannd in Fargo.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: Fargo
"Love Shakespeare" (1998)
On paper, it was a serious battle for Oscar - "Shakespeare in love" against "save ordinary Ryan", in practice it was Harvey Weinstein against the Film Academy, and then almost an all-industrial producer won.
Speaking frankly, "Shakespeare in love" is a classic love story, albeit in historical scenery: a cute beginner Creator Will Shakespeare (Joseph Fains) dreams of a girl from a rich family Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow). They are forced to meet secretly, because Viola should become his wife Lord Wessex. Sounds familiar? Of course, it is familiar - because Shakespeare was inspired by Roman with Viola and wrote his most famous play "Romeo and Juliet".
Yes, "Shakespeare's in love" is a high-quality, strong melodrama, but the fact that the cult drama "Save ordinary Ryan" managed to lose Foinu with his eyes suspended, makes it so far.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Save Private Ryan"
"Forrest Gump" (1994)
Tom Hanks in the role of an incentuous forrest of GAMPA to the depths of the soul of the togal of the Film Academy's members in 1995. The film is thrown by a weak guy right into the thick of the most important events of the 20th century and encounters with historical personalities, from Kennedy to John Lennon - but if you leave it for brackets, in practice The plot line is the main character turns out to be linear, albeit able to togulate with melodrama.
If it happened, much more sincere tears causes the most, probably, the inspiring picture of all times - "Escape from Schownka", because the chemistry between Ellis and Andy was much more powerful. And, of course, a separate mention deserves "criminal fiction" Tarantino, although against the background of such competitors, the chances of Quentin probably did not have yet.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Escape from Shawshank", "Criminal Chivo"
"King says" (2010)
This historical film was promised to "Oscar" before he, in fact, went to the rental - and the plot, of course, contributed to this a lot. The "king says" the future George VI performed by Colin Firth suddenly nominates the throne after his elder brother decides to marry and abandon reign. The main character does not believe in itself due to a speech defect, which does not allow him to speak in front of the public. Specialist Lionel Log (Jeffrey Rush) gives him courage and gives instructions to make the king to speak with a speech and will be taken seriously with his own nation.
Although the film's plot is based on real events, it is very clear that the creators of the "king say" this historical period was chosen precisely because of the attractiveness of history, because of its potential "under Oscar". Firth and Rash greatly played their roles, but the fact that the picture was referred to the statuette before the exit shows how much the Oscar is predicted.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Social network"
"Collision" (2005)
Gorbaytaya Mountain became one of the brightest events of cinema in 2006 - there were so many noise that in the victory of the Gorbatoy Mountain on Oscare few people doubted. Unfortunately, the members of the film academy preferred a more familiar, safe option - "Collision", which is hardly known. During that year it was almost and not mentioned, and the promotional campaign was launched at the last minute. Even the director of the film Paul Haggis said that other films were more worthy of Oscar.
The film focused on the stars focused on the car accident, against the background of which fate of the key heroes are intertwined. In theory - the idea is interesting, but in practice something like "racism for dummies" came out. The film chews interracial conflicts faced by characters, and from the spoon, feeds by the audience.
Who deserved "Oscar" more: "Gorbai Mountain"
