His post, well , i dont know putin or such a ugandan lukashenko, and there are a lot of parallels, by the way, with the revolution of dignity, they show how people in uganda also protested against it, and here they show this story of boba wine, his wife , his children, how he was constantly put in some prison there, how he fought, fought, and this is how the director is now, by the way, at one of the screenings. And one of the directors , moses bwayo, he said that thanks to this tape, bobby wine may not be in prison, he has such security that this movie and the popularity of this movie keeps him from danger, for example, murder. Also, the tape was nominated for kill the tiger, it can already be watched on netflix. Yesterday was the official release, and the director is nishi pahuja. Its a film that took eight years to make, and its a very difficult film because it tells the story of a man, reggit, who has daughters, and one of them was raped, it was a gang rape and it was only 13 years old, and we see this story spread over eight years, as the father tries to somehow punish the perpetrators or solve it, and there is no way. It doesnt work , we see the girl herself a little later, but in the last shots she is already 18 years old, and thats why many people have already loved her in this drama, because she is called very empathetic, and this again about the human struggle for justice, usually people like to watch such tapes, also in the nomination for the best fulllength documentary film there was a tape in. For memory, this is a chilean film by maietti alberti, it tells such a love story, very tender, between the journalist augusto gontera and his wife, an actress and the former minister of culture of chile, paolina ordita, and the fact is that this is such a couple who have been together for 23 years, they, they have such a common civic position, they fought together there against. Pinochet and against, and more precisely for so that his crimes were not forgotten and received and received the results of this work, but a few years ago the main character augustus was diagnosed with alzheimers disease, and now we see how this couple lives, and how the main character retains a sense of humor, how he ironizes, so that for now he still understands what is happening to him, he will do so in the future. Will not understand, but it is very nice to see such a relationship, and we see a person, really, who keeps a sense of humor, can give up on himself, on his condition and receives support, certainly from many people around. Well , here we come to the main competitor of our film, it is called four daughters, and this is a film that is also being prophesied in mariupol for 20 days. Victory in this category, the film has already collected many different awards, in fact, the director was once nominated for an oscar, only in a different category, with the film a man who sold his skin, and the directors name is kukateriya, and the question is what is the merit of the film, that this is such a hybrid work, game and documentary at the same time, the main character is olfa, hamru she is a resident, a citizen of tunisia, who has four daughters, and two of them joined the radical Islamist Organization idi. They left when one was 15, the others 16, and since then the mother has not seen them, she has two younger daughters left, and we only see them in the frame, because the mother said that it was too difficult for her to act in this film , accordingly, she is played by an actress and the two girls who went to the department are also played by actors, so i havent seen this film yet, but it is called quite experimental. Quite interesting, also emotional, tense, he shows the pain of this woman who lost , not just lost two daughters, she just doesnt know whats happening to them, its also quite hard to go through, and now, well, when this movie comes out somewhere legally, and ill be happy to watch it, but after all, i hope that 20 days in mariupol will still win in this nomination, well, lets now move on to the traditional. Scandals surrounding the oscars, because not only in ukraine, there are scandals around eurovision, there are also quarrels in the american segment about oscar, and there are two main ones, two, two main things, lets call a spade a spade, well, first of all, the year 2024, that is, this year has become the year when the rules announced in 2000. In the 20th year should enter into force. Let me explain oscar, if you have heard, has been called an unfair, noninclusive, nondiverse award for many years. This is manifested in the fact that there are too many men in the nominations, and almost all, if you look at sociological studies so far, the majority of American Films are about white men. If we look at the best director category, usually. Men and even this year only one woman, and also still invisible are many different groups, absolutely, that is, people who are not only African Americans, not only women, not only lgbt , but there are also native americans, people of asian descent, people with a disability, and so on and so on , well, at the oscars, it seems that all these people, their experiences, their a. Absolutely interesting stories, as if they do not exist, there are only white men, and therefore in the 15th year, a movement was started , which is called oskar is so white , there is one woman who is not a filmrelated person just put this hashtag on twitter, and thats how it went, because almost all nominations were won by white people, men, mostly, and with the help of this movement, americans, africanamericans still reached all sorts of such results, because tapes about blacks and Latin Americans have already begun to appear in the nominations, for example, the cartoon coco, a wonderful one appeared in the nomination, this is black panther, this tape is gone, and also in the 19th year there were already rebellions women who have begun to speak, listen, and nothing, so far only five female directors received awards in the best category, the best direction, probably. Its not quite normal, and maybe it needs to be changed somehow, well, they also appeared, well, they appeared, they began to be voiced more and more, and problems with by the academy of Motion Picture arts and sciences themselves, because i will remind you of the oscars , this award is called the American Academy of Motion Picture arts and sciences, and these academy of Motion Picture arts and sciences, as it turned out, are 94 white people and 77 are men, and this is considered, well, no. Just discriminatory, and thats even from a voting point of view, its not very good, because, well, if there is a total number of people voting, who have more or less the same tastes, similar tastes, similar, similar background, they will choose some films that are always the same, and when the film academy is more diverse, the films of these nominations, especially since if we also talk about the age of film academics, then it will be a lot of people, there, for example, like martins corsese, there are people over 60, and also these people very often live in some kind of outdated film language, maybe they do not always accept some new trends in cinema, and thats why its also bad enough for the development of cinema, to celebrate films, authorsactors who invent something completely new in cinema, and not. Jump on the spot, dont shoot films that were relevant there, for example, 3040 years ago. Well, and another scandal with Greta Gerwick, also loud enough, it crosses from the front. Discussion, because this director was not nominated for the best director, although many people did not even doubt that it would happen, this year in the nomination for the best director or best director, only one woman justine trieuil with anatomy of an event. And gera gervivik, a fairly wellknown director, we see her now, and i think you must have heard of her film. If you went to the cinema, there were boxes like this for taking photos, there were such big boxes in the shape of a box with a barbie, and i constantly saw queues for those boxes, and in those queues there were also boys, and already men so quite the older ones wanted to take a picture there. And among the audience of the movie barbie was also many men, and most importantly, why, what is the merit of Greta Gerwick, this film collected 1. 4 billion dollars at the box office, and Greta Gerwick once again proved that women can be trusted with such big films, blockbusters, that women can make a film that will be so with a big budget, but even then it will make money, it is in the box office, it will also pay off and collect a lot of money, it will get. Great popularity, and here is how it is possible for such a director, whose name was so discussed throughout 2023, who received such great praise and compliments, that she did not deserves the best director category, on the other hand, other people argue and say that its not sexist, no need to make up why, because, well, its a popular film, it made a lot of. Money at proket, but this does not mean that the direction of such a film should be praised. Box office does not mean good direction. Well, i have heard some similar arguments over the years, for example, in 14th year they said the same thing about the film selma, avue verney, it is a film about the end of the 60s, the protests of African Americans, about Martin Luther king, in particular, and this one. Was highly praised by both critics and viewers, and the director also praised her skill and predicted that she would definitely get into this category of best director, but that did not happen, selma got only in two categories, there seems to be the best cinematography and the best song, and then there was also a big catavasia, but there were also people who said that dont make it up, its not racism, its just that the direction is not enough, you see, thats why im saying, that. Theres always a huge debate around the oscars because the issue of these changes is very complicated , because some people say that changes are necessary, because there is discrimination and injustice, others say that no, that you are making this up, or that it is not necessary to do with these artificial quotas that were introduced in they were announced in 2020, i will remind you that what is the whole point, well, for example, there should be four standards that should be introduced already in 2024. First, one of the actors in the first or second plan must belong to an underrepresented category, racial or ethnic. Next, 30 , it is at least the cast in secondary roles, must be from at least two underrepresented groups, this or there are women, and representatives of different races, except. Of the white lgbt community, people with disabilities, this is done so that their stories can also be seen by people, so that these people become visible. The main theme or story line of the film must be about underrepresented groups, and it is also about the crew itself, requiring at least 30 of the crew to be from underrepresented groups. Well, in many ways americans say they learn from europeans at the same buffet, where the representation of diversity in their opinion is much fairer than in the united states. Well, now lets deal with the category of the best film, because it is usually considered that this category is the most important, and it is in it that they want to make these changes from this year, it seems to me that they have already happened. Lets now see how much variety there is in these films, first of all, there are not five of them, as in other categories a10. First, it is american literature. Corda jeffersons river, i highly recommend you watch it, its an ironic movie in many ways, starring geoffrey wright, he plays a writer and a literature teacher at a university, and hes very unhappy with how africanamerican literature is presented, and even more so, he doesnt want to, to be perceived as an africanamerican writer, and his books as well, he wants to be just a writer. He does not want to be in this ghetto, and he constantly complains about the fact that African Americans are their own works, in particular, they write their books without describing their real lives, trying to continue to please the whites and satisfy their guilt complex, their guilt, and thats why he constantly goes around and says how bad African American literature is, this literature needs to be different, to things, it seems to me in this movie. Theres also a lot of banter about all these quotas too or all these different attempts to correct something in the underrepresentation of africanamericans in other categories, because this writer they offer to be a member of the jury in one award and they directly tell him that we want to fill the quota, because we have something, only whites have gathered, we need one blackskinned person, to which he reacts like, well, like, okay, i agree, but this is some kind of cringe , another film. The anatomy of the fall by justine trier, which is a court drama, but it is really a thriller in tension , it says, firstly, the film won the Golden Branch at the nakan film festival, and has already received many compliments, it is about a german writer who lives with her husband in france, and one day she had a son finds his dad dead, and in the court, or rather during the investigation, suspicions appear in this regard. Wife, because well , the wife is the first suspect, and she tries to prove in court that she is not guilty, and of course we do not know until the end whether she is guilty or not guilty, because there is a lot of evidence against her, and this film is about these very, very complex relationships, in principle between people, and between a husband and a wife, which may seem obvious from the outside, but in fact, if you delve into them, then. They are , on the contrary, quite complex, and this film, to things, i would advise you to watch without dubbing, it is precisely such tapes that show very well that dubbing really spoils the tape, because there it is very important to hear when the heroine speaks french, when she speaks english, and when she speaks german, these are very important accents, will also compete for the main award at the oscars barbie, Greta Gerwick, who we talked about, well, i think. You ve seen this film, she, she will definitely remain iconic, some say that its too simple, that it raises feminist issues, well, without any new look, huh just with such a new, interesting form, some say no, on the contrary, this is a very cool film for teenagers, despite the fact that it is for both boys and girls, and also complained that it is such a big commercial. Its a barbie doll, but its quite a self deprecating video, because it criticizes the manufacturers of this doll, and ill also say that margot robbie, who was praised by many for this role, did not get nominated for the best actress, which also caused outrage, but rayyan gosling, the performer of the main male role, the role second plan, he got a nomination, lets listen to the song he sang, which went viral, and which he will perform. Ken suffers from the fact that he is constantly in second roles, everyone turns. Attention to barbie, aken this is such a simple addition to barbie, and there will also be a film the leftovers by Alexander Payne, it is still playing in ukrainian cinemas, i advise you to watch it, it is a very soulful, very good film, which, well , almost all films by Alexander Payne , we are talking about paul ganov, he is a teacher at the school, v to such a private school for wealthy children, for the children of wealthy parents, and. Here he is enough and everyone hates him, they call him a nazi, because he has such a bad character, he teaches ancient history, and here on weekends, or rather on holidays, in winter, it turns out that. One boy has to stay in this school and spend some time with this teacher, and we see the transformation of this relationship from hatred to friendship. Lets look at the passage. I thought all the nazis were hiding in argentina. Soak the waist. You played up to punishment, sir sticking here with you is the worst punishment. Judges son, defiant double punishment. Do you think i wanted to babysit you . I was praying to god that your mother would pick up the phone, your father came in a helicopter or a space rocket and your father is dead, well , you see, this is a comedy with such sad moments, its called a lyrical comedy, then the horseshoe killers are full of Martin Scorsese, i think youve seen this epic tape, and its about 1920, oklahoma, osech tribe, indian, they start dying for some reason one after another and then it turns out that its all about the oil, them, theyre being killed by the whites, and in general its a very good film about this feeling of guilt, because Martin Scorsese himself in this film emphasizes that he is also guilty of this discrimination against indians, so that during his career he made a lot of films, westerns, which glorified and romanticized this and that era and did not show suffering at all, all brutal treatment of the ruling population, only now he showed it all. Lily gladstone, theres a lot of people saying shes the main character, there the brightest character, not Leonardo Dicaprio, although Leonardo Dicaprio is also not bad, it seems to me that he is such a typical good russian, he is not russian, but he behaves like a good russian. Then the tape of maestro Bradley Cooper, around which there was a fight about Bradley Coopers nose, they said that it was antisemitism to wear such a nose. Let me remind you that Bradley Cooper is not only a director there, he plays the famous director. And the american leonard bernstein, by the way, he comes from, or rather, his parents moved from rivne region, they lived near rivne the film mentions rivne as a russian region, unfortunately, christopher nolens open gamer is also coming next, and it is this film that is predicted to win, most likely it will be, another film called past lives, celine dream. The director is one of the few, the film tells about people, two schoolboys who studied in seoul in south korea, and they loved each other so much, and then they traveled around the world and met several times, the transformation of their relationship is shown, well and in general it is shown how well, here is this separation from her roots, a south korean woman already lives in canada, how does she stop
