Oscaruri aiurea. Scenariul lui Woody Allen, cea mai bună dovadă

Update

Nişte observaţii de la amicul Alexandre:

Pe de alta parte si Artistu’ merita vazut. Macar ptr performanta producatorilor. ( Sa razi cam tot ce misca  ( premii ) cu un film de 12 milioane de euro … si sa produci astazi un fim mut – alb negru …. e o chestie)

Ma mir ca nu s a trezit nimeni sa revendice originile române ale producatorului. Thomas Langmann e fiul lui Claude Berri ( Claude Barel Langmann). A carei bunica respectiv mama era româncă.

La straine iti recomand si Bullhead si Mr. Lazhar amundoua mai meritoase decit Separatia iraniana. Si la fel de “politice”

Text iniţial

N-am văzut gala, am văzut lista premiaţilor în dimineaţa asta. Bun, mai toate erau deja anticipate. Cele mai importante erau destinate acestui The Artist, minunăţia alb-negru dedicată Hollywoodului (citez din orice prezentare) pe care nu l-am văzut. Aş sublinia totuşi că se pare plac odele despre Hollywood, dar, în bună tradiţie, se ignoră Hollywoodul în esenţa lui (comedii, filme de acţiune, thriller, horror extraordinare). Pentru că ne e ruşine de esenţa lui (voi reveni cu un text elogios despre Warhorse, ca să înţelegeţi ce vreau să spun).

Scenariul la Midnight in Paris e cel mult banal. Să-i dai lui W.A. un Oscar pentru acest scenariu înseamnă să-l jigneşti sau să-ţi faci mea culpa că nu i-ai dat ce trebuia la vremea adevăratelor filme bune. Ştiu că sînt mulţi fani ai acestui film. Fără să-i jignesc, aş vrea doar să le spun că acest film seamănă exact cu tot ce a ironizat Woody Allen în vremurile lui bune. I-a fost premiat obiectul ironiei şi nu i-a fost premiată ironia.

Clooney şi Pitt au făcut două roluri memorabile în cele două filme nominalizate. O luptă între ei ar fi fost mai cinstit-hollywoodiană decît surprizele alb-negru. Iar din duelul ăsta l-aş fi ales pe Pitt din Moneyball. Dar asta e, se pare că marii frumoşi americani au ajuns prea subtili, iar producţiile franţuzeşti prea americane.

La “cel mai bun film străin”, iranianul A separation e cu adevărat un film extraordinar. Vi-l recomand cu căldură.

Cît despre cel mai bun film al anului, nu vi se pare că Melancholia lui von Trier a fost de departe campion?A fost ignorat cu desăvîrşire.
