Oscar Nominations
Anyone have any big thoughts about the oscar nominations?
I really thought that Nightcrawler should have gotten more attention. Boyhood is pretty overrated and it seems like its only getting a lot of attention because it was filmed over 12 years.
Did any movies this year stand out to you as focusing on liberty? I didn’t get around to seeing the documentary about Edward Snowden.
My favorite movie of the year ( I’ve seen most, but not all of them) is The Imitation Game – hands down. Although the movie does not deal with freedom issues, the story is an important one and needs to be told. Alan Turing is the father of the digital computer, something that has enhanced all of our lives. (OK, that’s debatable.) Not only was he under appreciated, but the state took action that lead to his eventual suicide. I’ve seen the movie twice, and it has an excellent screenplay, right up there with The Grand Budapest Hotel, another favorite of mine.
