Oscar Time

You keep saying that but I don't think so..

Well, that's your problem then, Dimmy 😛 😉

Baz Luhrman should have been nominated for directing Moulin Rouge.

That movie sucks. 😛

Your oppinion..it was one of my favorite this year.

It was the same thing as Shakespeare in Love.

monsters inc was the best of this year, or blow

The same thing as Shakespeare in Love? Huh?

You can't even compare the two..

It is the same. He wrote the play as they were falling in love.

Then she dies all of a sudden at the end. Why? What the hell is that?

Because she has Tuberculois..which is explained in the first 10 minutes of the movie.

He wrote the play as he was falling in love... that is SO broad!

When you consider all the storylines that Moulin Rogue- very deliberately- ripped off and you say it coped Shakespeare in Love... gee!

And if you don't know why she died you clearly didn't watch it properly.

Here's my predictions:
Best Picture: LOTR
Best Director: Ron Howard
Best Actor: Crowe
Best Actress: Spacek

It was stupid that she died. It had nothing to do with the movie. Why do filmakers think two people can only truely fall in love if one or both of them die. The idea is tired and boring. It's like Pay It Forward, why did he have to die at the end?

NO, it would have been stupid if she lived..because most people with TB die from it. (or atleast they did back then)

I don't know. I'm just sick of movies that rely on death being the only great drama, you know?

If you guys like Rouge, fine. I didn't really care for it. The common person isn't going to like it. We're all movie buffs, so we appreciate different films.

MR was very odd, it was fastly paced, and filled with 'friuty' characters. Then it broke into songs by the police and everything. I was watching it with a few people, and they wanted to turn it off because they thought it was so stupid.

It's not a movie for everyone, and even I didn't like it. So I don't reccomend it.

Ok. I understand that Russel Crowe's disgraceful performance at the BAFTAs may have cost him his oscar. Favorutie is now Denzel Washington.

And the common person DID like Moulin Rouge, To. And as Moulin Rouge was mostly a tribute to the tragic love stories prevalent in both older cinema and from the time it portrayed, her death was essential. Whole thing would have been pointless otherwise.

i agree tommaco, to many movies glorify death and rely on it as an easy way to achieve drama.

Ush, everything you say isn't right. As far as everyone I've talked to didn't like the movie at all. It's not a movie that has a great commerical appeal, because most people don't like musicals.

And what did Russell Crowe do?
