No Facebook, We're British. The 83. edition of the Oscars has reserved special surprises, more or less confirming the predictions of the vigil. And so the King's speech , glossy historical reconstruction of public speaking on the difficulties of His Majesty King George VI of England, takes home the statuettes most important those for best film, director, lead actor and original screenplay.
announced a verdict, then, but that leaves a little 'bad taste in mouth movie fans overseas that we were hoping for a prize list is very different and more respectful of our 'tastes' the West.
clear: not that King's speech is a bad film, far from it. But it is a film that owes its appeal only to the performances of the leading actors: the rest is the classic 'film from Oscar' is designed specifically to win: great packaging, leccatissimo conventional, politically correct and pandering to the right point. All ingredients are easily breached in the jury of the Academy has always been oriented towards conservatism and a more reluctant to reward the most innovative works and disturbing. A jury that has its own merits as well as celebrated film Tom Hooper (himself unexpectedly rewarded for directing, very flat and tremors).
Sorry, though, that the expense was The Social Netwok , ruthless portrait of contemporary society signed David Fincher, which takes as its pretext the 'genesis' of Facebook to bring us to a cynical and hard pamphlet on the disintegration of values moral in the era of 2.0. The Social Network for us is the most beautiful and important film of this millennium, and probably will remain so for many years to come: a film 'landmark' in the literal sense, able to keep us in suspense throughout its duration, as a thriller, and capable of making us cringe and think about our condition when finished. The three captured stauette ( Best Adapted Screenplay, Editing and soundtrack) are just a 'sweetener' that does not do justice to the greatness of this film. All
also required on the front of the cast: Colin Firth won hands down the Oscar for best player, while Natalie Portman triumphed among the actresses. Two victories largely 'announced' but this time, well deserved. Beautiful especially the triumph of Portman, radiant with his belly on the expectant mom and almost 'sorry' to have beaten four colleagues of great skill: Annette Bening, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Williams and Jennifer Lawrence . This year the women's competition was the highest level, and each of these actresses, without rhetoric, could be awarded without anyone storcesse the nose (unlike last year when, among thousands of controversy, was awarded Sandra Bullock) . Among the non-actors instead The Fighter triumphs, yet another story of boxing brought to the big screen by David O. Russell , which sees Christian Bale be rewarded (it was now) that Melissa Leo.
the rest, make news in the four awards in technical categories Inception (picture, sound, visual and sound effects ) in partial compensation of the 'stigma' against Academy dell'incompreso Christopher Nolan. Discounts also awards Toy Story 3 as best animated film and best song, and Alice in Wonderland statues in for costumes and set design . Victory for Danish Suzanne Bier in the category of foreign films with his In a better world. And finally a curiosity: the seventh victory (!) Career in the make-up artist Rick Baker , now a 'myth' for the Academy Awards. This time winner thanks to the make-up of Wolfman.
See you next year!
