I'm glad they got all those Oscars. It may or may not be the best movie ever, but definitely it is the greatest cinematographic achievement of all time, and only for that it already deserved all the Oscars it could get!
I rate a movie like I rate any other piece of art out there: those who leave a greater mark on me, those who can effectively transmit a message, those who change my life are certainly the best ones. And LOTR did that.
It wasn't love at first sight. In fact, I was a hater like some of you are now. I skipped the first 2 movies and only watched the first episode's DVD like 6 months ago. I only watched an hour before falling asleep. But something told me to give it another try, and it somehow clicked. I watched the second episode 2 weeks later and went to the movies to see the Grande Final.
I still think about the movie every week... Can't wait for the DVD to come out!
[Also, check my sig below.]
About these year's nominees, City Of God is also one of the best movies I've ever seen, and it's a shame you guys can't speake portuguese, bcs you'll probably miss half of the fun. Still, it's definitely more original than anything Hollywood put out in the past couple of years. [PEGA A GALINHA, CARALHO! ]
Rent it!
