I'm pretty sure the point was to make an artsy war movie nominally set in WWII to be blatant Oscar bait.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-30710149142567316112018-02-22T13:24:53.965-08:002018-02-22T13:24:53.965-08:00Alex: Do you want me to quit watching them so that...Alex: Do you want me to quit watching them so that I'll quit pointing out how most of them are actually bad movies?Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-42620766876668345572018-02-22T12:43:51.809-08:002018-02-22T12:43:51.809-08:00I haven't seen the movie (and probably won'...I haven't seen the movie (and probably won't) so the only thing I can really disagree with you is about it not being nomination-quality. The academy only nominates movies based on what they like, and what they like is WWII movies. I'm not saying that this is how it should be, but something like two thirds of the voters are old white men. Of course they like WWII movies.J E Oneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780097298061829471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-67685710054668766252018-02-22T10:50:18.439-08:002018-02-22T10:50:18.439-08:00I think the point was that it was a chaotic time a...I think the point was that it was a chaotic time and no one knew what was going on. And yes, they were running away. <br /><br />But I haven't seen the movie, so I have no idea how well it works. As I'm not a war movie aficionado, I have a feeling I'll feel about it much as you do.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-90478542058459624962018-02-22T04:30:56.152-08:002018-02-22T04:30:56.152-08:00Just stop watching Nolan movies.
