It comes without saying that the Oscars is an event of great prestige in the film industry. A select few are awarded for their artistic and technical merit in the film industry. However, the Oscars are also a topic of great controversy. It’s challenging to decide what films deserve to be considered the best film of the year. Drama has been the genre with the most wins, but choosing one movie out of numerous drama movies made worldwide is tough.
Where to stream the Oscar nominations 2022
As an audience and filmmaker, it’s a bitter pill to swallow when you fall in love with a movie you just watched, and it doesn’t get recognized how it should. It happens every year and there are many examples to prove that there are spectacular drama movies that are not even in the Academy Awards conversation.
‘Kill Bill Vol. 1’ (2003)
‘Portrait of a Lady on Fire’ (2019)
‘Before Sunrise’ (1995)
When thinking of Clint Eastwood, many movies and roles come to mind, but Gran Torino stands out. After all, he was 78 years old when he directed and acted in this movie. In this movie, Eastwood plays a widowed, racist, and grumpy Korean War veteran, who has a beer and a shotgun always by his side. The plot escalates when a teenager tries to steal his most prized possession: the 1972 Gran Torino.
Ultimately, this movie is about how an individual can change independently of how old or what he has lived through. Eastwood’s performance doesn’t involve any grand transformations. It involves starting to see people as people, independent of the color of their skin, culture, or how different they are. That’s the most important lesson Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) learns, and it’s done in a very subtle manner. This is a very sensitive subject to portray in a film, therefore it should’ve been at least recognized by the Academy.
‘C’Mon, C’mon’ (2021)
Highly regarded as one of the most influential films ever made, Breathless is Godard’s take on Bonnie and Clyde. With this film, Godard introduced the editing technique known as “jump cuts.” By using jump cuts the film’s pace changes, and it becomes rushed and somewhat jittery, making the audience constantly feel on edge (especially during the action scenes). If not for the acting of Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, this film should have been given an Oscar for its technical achievements.
