Have you ever noticed how many of Oscar movies are just beyond depressing? How many times have you actually had honest to god fun watching them and did not felt as if you are emotionally tormented? I rarely talk about it since it makes me look like uncultured simpleton (just for clarity sake, I am uncultured simpleton, I just do not like to brag about it)
but I sometimes think that Oscars are chosen by rich guys who never had any real problem in their lives, they feel guilty about it so they vote for movies about difficult issues to show that they care, and they empathise with people in different situations etc.
I am sorry to say it but world is filled with sad stories, if I wanted to hear a tragic story about old person being abandoned by their loved ones guess what? I can just knock on the door of my neighbour and hear all about it. Sick children- there is a hospice which I sometimes visit. Parents being cruel to their child- one phone call away, Parents not being accepting of their children choices- two streets away. And I am not even really good or engaged person, I am kind of selfish prick to be honest.
But I know that world is filled with tragedies, is it so strange that when I watch a movie I want feel god story where heroes achieve their goals, bad people are punished and friends are reliable? I know it may seem childish but I see movies as a way to unwind, to help me deal with the world. Give me "die hard" over von Tier any day of the week.
