Know-How

oldfilmsflicker:

The film that should have been named in this category is Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive.” Transcending the crime genre, it stars Ryan Gosling as a man who lives primarily to drive. Sometimes he’s a movie stunt driver, sometimes he drives getaway for crooks. He seems to have no family, no history and seemingly few emotions. Whatever happened to him drove any personality deep beneath the surface. He is an existential hero, defined entirely by his behavior. Not depending on violence, not buttressed by chase scenes, this film is a personality study. How often do we find the hero of an “action picture” to be this deeply interesting?

Thank you Ebert.

So… this was apparently the lowest rated Oscar broadcast in history, but clearly the greatest.

THE MOST PERFECT YEAR IN RECENT HISTORY, OKAY.

ACTUAL PERFECTION.

#teameurope

this was a great year for Oscar

Ah yes, when No Country and There Will Be Blood where the front runners. This was a great year.
