Members Sync Posted December 29, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 O Awards Daily acabou de levantar uma questão que cairia como uma bomba por aqui. Imaginem: Can the Greath Debaters push Trough? Posted by Sasha Stone on Dec 28th, 2007 An interesting 11th hour development in the Oscar race has emerged. Although it ain’t no Million Dollar Baby, there is certainly plenty around it that seems dark, depressing, even rotten. And out of that comes this. Denzel Washington could follow, surprisingly, in the footsteps of Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner in the pretty-boy-turned-good-actor-turned-director slot. Stephen Hunter at the Washington Post makes a great case for the film in an article he calls: A Strong Argument for the Great Debaters: The movie tells how the whirlwind of a smart guy from up North comes to the small Southern school and, by the strength of charisma and passion, prods his charges to learn to fight — with words, not fists. He takes his young charges — besides Henry, there’s James (Denzel Whitaker) and Samantha (Jurnee Smollett) and, for a time, Garrett (Jackson Walker) — and puts them in a crucible of tension and oratorical exercise to toughen them up for the struggle ahead. The movie is full of great performances: Washington is the faculty upstart to Forest Whitaker’s stolid college president. To watch these two great actors going after each other and the camera in a mini-debate at a holiday party is one of the big pleasures of the year. But the movie belongs to Smollett. There’s such passion and pain in her performance. It’s a great family movie, if not historically perfect, and something that a lot of people are going to like. Emerging out of the gate with early word of it being a “TV movie,” the film has done a lot better than expected with critics and could really light up the box office. Will Academy voters go for it? Will they choose something uplifting and inspiring as opposed to edgy and dark? Read more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Administrator Posted December 29, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 "Beleza Americana" foi o último acerto do Oscar. E talvez um dos únicos ( dá pra contar nos dedos' date=' de uma mão). Mas pensando melhor... 1999 tinha também "Magnólia", "Quero Ser John Malkovich", "De Olhos Bem Fechados", "O Sexto Sentido", "Clube da Luta", "O Mundo de Andy"... [/quote']O que torna Beleza Americana ainda mais grandioso. Ganhou frente a todas essas concorrências... é um filmaço mesmo...aquele final me arrepia todas as vezes. E pensar que havia a possibilidade de Regras da Vida vencer aquele Oscar. De olhos bem fechados, Magnólia e Beleza Americana entrariam de olhos bem fechados() entre os 5 melhores daquele ano. E ainda Clube da Luta.... que ano foi aquele! Realmente, grande ano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Halo Posted December 29, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Eu achei todos que ele citou muito melhores que Beleza Americana, hehe. Principalmente De Olhos Bem Fechados e Clube da Luta. Concordo em totalidade com a sua colocação. Clube da Luta é uma experiência única; daquelas que você fica comentando e indicando semanas depois de ver, enquanto Beleza Americana sai da mente em dias. Inté! Ora, todo "oscarizável" termina assim. Fight Club é um filme popular, pra todos os gostos. Beleza Americana é um filme pra critico, como todo "oscarizado" deve ser.

Members Administrator Posted December 29, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Não queria dar nenhum pitaco no OFF-TOPIC, que já se prolongou o suficiente, mas devo concordar de coração que aquele ano de 1999 foi excepcional. Embora eu tenha certa predilescência por O Sexto Sentido e O Informante, respectivamente, a seleção de Beleza Americana é inatacável, pois o filme de estréia de Sam Mendes é um marco. Tampouco reclamaria se À Espera de um Milagre tivesse se saído vencedor (mas sei que, neste caso, sou minoria). Até Regras da Vida considero bom, embora não merecedor da indicação que obteve. A Academia tinha obras ainda superiores para escolher, entre elas Magnólia - que infelizmente ficou de lado em Filme e Direção -, assim como O Talentoso Ripley e Quero Ser John Malkovich. Não assisti, contudo, a De Olhos Bem Fechados, História Real nem Tudo Sobre Minha Mãe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FeCamargo Posted December 29, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 De Olhos Bem Fechados, Magnólia e Clube da Luta são os melhores do ano com o filme do Anderson sendo o top. Eu nunca me lembro de datas nem nada, portanto, posso estar esquecendo outros. Não tinha um filme do Mike Leigh esse ano? Sou péssimo para isso...

Members Halo Posted December 30, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 É bom ressaltar que o melhor de 99 não foi nenhum "oscarizado" e sim o fenômeno Matrix, que foi injustiçado naquele ano, pois merecia estar entre os melhores filmes.

Members Administrator Posted December 30, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Em InContention, Gerard Kennedy esmiuça uma das categorias que eu, francamente, considero mais difíceis de se prever - trilha musical! Só que não se trata de um artigo focado em previsões, e sim numa geral no ano que se passou, em termos musicais. Pode vir a ser interessante para quem quiser se aprofundar mais. "Tech Support" Special: 2007 Film Score Review Well here we are at the last Tech Support column of 2007. As I reflect on the past year' date=' I thought I’d do something I almost never do at her at In Contention – review. I’ve decided to focus on the most acclaimed scores of 2007. Before proceeding, I should note that I have not yet heard the acclaimed scores of Clint Eastwood on “Grace is Gone” or Olivier Bernet for “Persepolis.” I’d also like to preface this by saying that I consider Glen Hansard’s song score to “Once” to be the most film-serving and original musical accomplishment of 2007. Being such an unconventional “score,” however, and relying almost entirely on songs, I personally feel that a column dedicated to reviewing scores is not the best place to discuss it. I was very much looking forward to the return of Alan Menken to Disney movies in 2007 with “Enchanted.” His score and songs have received much acclaim. Though I enjoyed the film, and “That’s How You Know” was a fun number, I was ultimately disappointed with the work. I found the other songs to be lacking and the work to be on the whole formulaic, absent of the majesty of Menken’s past memorable efforts on “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Little Mermaid.” Howard Shore and David Cronenberg know each other incredibly well, having collaborated for over 20 years. Their latest joint effort, “Eastern Promises,” proved once again that these two are in sync creatively. Like their last film, “A History of Violence,” I found this score to be sold in its theme, a brooding, appropriately “Russian” melody. One more feather in this composer’s cap. Another noted composer-director team is Alan Silvestri and Robert Zemeckis. On “Beowulf,” Silvestri combined the sort of modern orchestrations we’d expect in an epic with traditional Scandinavian instruments. In the realm of epic scores, I can’t say that I think this will be living in the hall of classics, but it served the film quite well indeed. The soundtrack for “Into the Wild” has garnered much acclaim, particularly for Eddie Vedder’s songs. The score was primarily written by Michael Brook, though both Vedder and guitarist Kaki King receive joint credit. It has also been subject of a considerable deal of praise. I can’t say I was blown away by it, finding it to be in no way bad but not particularly special or able to stand out from Vedder’s frequently arriving voice. Alberto Iglesias lent his talents to Marc Forster’s “The Kite Runner” this year. There is certainly a lot of music in the film and it is both noticeable and memorable. It also has an appropriately international feel, with Iglesias’s Latin influence being quite apparent. That said, while I would hardly call the work “bad,” there is something about it that does not quite work for me. I suppose I ultimately feel there is simply too much music, the sort which can often overpower what’s on screen, even if the music itself is quite nice. Three years ago, Michael Giacchino brought invaluable life, originality and action to Brad Bird’s “The Incredibles” through his score. This year, Giacchino again served Bird incredibly well on “Ratatouille,” a score that was fun, clever, creative and at times delightfully French. I can’t say I feel he reached the same heights he reached on “The Incredibles” but the work was still top-notch and I hope Bird and Giacchino continue to work together for many years into the future. Finishing with my top five scores of 2007… 5) Alexandre Desplat – “Lust, Caution” Alexandre Desplat is, without a doubt, my favourite composer of this decade. Since his major American breakthrough (even if it was on a British film), “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” he has continued to stretch himself and entertain us on efforts such as “Birth,” “Syriana,” “The Queen” and “The Painted Veil,” not to mention his continued work in French cinema. I was tremendously excited when he was hired to compose “The Golden Compass” earlier this year but ultimately it was his compositions for “Lust, Caution” that truly moved me in 2007. Ang Lee’s films always have great music and this proved to be no exception. The music managed to be beautiful and haunting in its own right, just like the film, while also being appropriately cultured, with a touch of Western influence – just like the setting of the film. This composer just seems to get better every year. 4) Dario Marinaelli – “Atonement” On “Pride and Prejudice” two years ago, Dario Marianelli proved he knew the sort of music that Joe Wright’s films needed. He tops that achievement in my books with this year’s “Atonement.” The haunting melodies, so ably assisted by the sound of a typewriter, will be remembered by all who see the film – longing and tragically romantic. 3) Marco Beltrami – “3:10 to Yuma” From its opening notes, Beltrami’s score to James Mangold’s “3:10 to Yuma” brings us into the film’s action. It was almost as though I knew right away that this remake was going to improve upon its original, a rare feat indeed. A throwback to westerns of the past, Beltrami’s score is exciting and memorable yet never manages to overpower the film. A very fine accomplishment, and a personal favorite of mine given my love of the Western genre. 2) Nick Cave, Warren Ellis – “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” Just as “3:10 to Yuma” was not alone in being one of the great westerns of the year, it was not alone in being one of the year’s great westerns with a great score. Andrew Dominik’s “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” was elevated by the haunting, thematic work of Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Dominik’s film has often been compared to a Malick effort and it was certainly one of the most ambitious efforts of 2007. And just as is the case with Malick films, its music was integral to its mood and storytelling. Cave and Ellis lived up to the necessary challenge. 1) Jonny Greenwood – “There Will Be Blood” One of few 2007 films to rival Dominik’s in terms of ambition was Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood.” For the music on the film, Anderson chose not to re-collaborate with his usual composer Jon Brion, but instead looked to Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. I must concede that this choice struck me as a tad odd and, having read the script, I knew the work of the composer would be challenging but also extremely important. But stark, film-matching and fantastically original, this is the finest achievement in original music compositions for a film in 2007 as far as I’m concerned. It seems as though every note was carefully considered and then perfectly placed. I have no idea if Greenwood will continue to work in cinema. But regardless, this effort would stand alone as an amazing accomplishment of film music. I’ll be taking next week off as I welcome in 2008 and head to Calgary for a few days. So have a very Happy New Year – I’ll see you here in two weeks time. [/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnnyrichard09 Posted December 30, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Beleza americana foi o melhor filme de 1999 SIM!!!!!! Tudo nesse filme é perfeito: a direção, a fotografia, o roteiro, a trilha musical,direção de arte, a montagem todos os atores estão sublimes executando extremamente bem os seus papéis ( é incrivel como o roteiro de Alan Ball passa uma sensação de que conhecemos esses personagens de anos atrás como se a gente usufruissemos de seus históricos mesmo que tenhamos acabado de conhecê-los). Um clássico, obra-prima, jóia rara. E quando o Kevin Spacey conversa com você no final dá uma sensação de que foi feita uma grade viagem ao subúrbio americano. Fantástico! Eu tenho o dvd e vou rever sempre que sentir saudades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Monster Posted December 30, 2007 Members Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Putz, depois de assistir Desejo e Reparação, percebi como fui preconceituoso com o filme, não dava nada, e acabaou se tornando um dos melhores filmes que vi no ano. Já tem minha torcida para ganhar o Oscar, assim como a direção de Wright e a menina Saoirse, que está brilhante, e claro o roteiro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
