Wow ... deserved to have gotten the Oscar for Best Film ...
8 June 2024
Who remembers 'Crash'? The year 'Revenge of the Sith' was rewarded an Oscar for best make-up. 'Crash' won best film ... why on earth can a sci-fi film not be nominated for best film? I'm watching the Star Wars films in chronological order. And after 'Revenge of the Sith' I'll be watching 'Solo' and then. 'Rogue One' and then continue with 'Episode IV' etc. Alone for the last 40 minutes this third episode deserves to get the Best Film Oscar ... from beginning to end this film is such a cinematic extraordinary jewel ... but also in a literary way ... this is Shakespeare, this is Greek Mythology, this is in the tradition of the Great Hollywood Film Spectacles, this is on par with a great dramatic theatrical Opera ... so yes lots of green screen but what extraordinary world could be created because of this? The rhythm of the backgrounds in sync with the music and the movements of the choreographed actors together with the editing. This is a Masterpiece. Or with an expensive German word: a true 'Gesamtkunstwerk'. Not just for sci-fi lovers. This is great cinema. The first two movies were good also but not like this one. It's a shame this was not lauded with the biggest Awards possible ... The Academy should create an Oscar for films that in hindsight should have gotten one. Beautiful, Masterly, impressive. Go watch this one.
