Last Film You Saw

[Inter Me Nan]

Green Book reminded me of Planes, Trains & Automobiles with the obvious racial overtones.
Even the end was similar.

Green book was a good film. I don't remember anything else worth watching.

The long and the short of it all is nobody listens to how a bunch of people you don't know think about what you think a film is, you make up your own mind. Best films don't really win oscars in most cases it's just Hollywoods elite showing off their social credentials, however Green Book I believe was an exception to that rule.

We watched Bohemian Rhapsody a few nights back - after all the hype i expected more. It was an ok film, but nothing special imho.

Great story, not very well executed.

And as for Dunkirk, not enough Tom Hardy, too much meh. A great, and heroic story that they couldn't seem to transfer to an heroic film.

We have Ready Player One to watch, it can only get better, yeah?

Nope, the latter being absolute tosh unless you're watching it with your sprogs, they might enjoy it.

I watched it a few nights ago it was brilliant, OK it's got a bit of that Hollywood shine to the message but it was a decent film well done and well acted.

It was all 'Hollywood shine'.

Nothing about it was convincing.

I'm not going to disagree too much with you because you do have a point, but it's better than the Driving Miss Daisy or The Artist or anything about Kings or Queens surely?

The critics on IMDB gave it 69, that's a fairly low score for a Best Picture Oscar.

Just to put that into context, The Shape of Water, winner in 2018, scored 87. Moonlight, winner in 2017, scored 99. Spotlight winner in 2016, scored 93.

In fact it has the lowest score of any Best Picture Oscar winner since Crash in 2006.

 

[City_Sean]

Because it was brilliant.

Agreed.
