Razzie Award winner Frank Stallone has epic twitter rant over the FAKE ILLEGAL PC Oscars

I'm Somewhat disgusted with the Academy Awards. A lot of good actors did not mentioned! Gold nocturnal animals etc

You can't compare Moonlight to Hacksaw Ridge in any dept acting directing or content. Vince Vaughan was great not considered for AA

Garfield's character is a Christian who just doesn't want to carry armed weapons or kill anyone. I don't know if that's self-righteous. It was based on his faith.

I mean yeah it's well made technically. It tells an inspiring story. But the acting is very average. And the subject of the film would NOT be here for the extreme amounts of unnecessary violence portrayed. Like we get that it was bloody and everyone died and it was scary. But it's gore and it's been fucking done. It's nothing new. It's a story we've seen 100 times before and it's been done better. Sorry but the stale redux of an old white man isn't worth nominating anymore. They've had their time and they literally do nothing to change the industry.

It's similar to The Passion of the Christ in that it uses a religious pacifist as a vehicle for Gibson's violence and gore fetish.

IA it would have been more revolutionary to do a WWII without blood and gore but ofc they need to go for uber ~realism which feels exploitative and gratuitous anyway.

Everyone should just watch Band of Brothers and ignore everything else.

No. And I went into it with an open mind, but it is not good. The writing is so hacky [lol] and unsubtle; as soon as it opened with a scene of sad drunk Hugo Weaving standing at his war buddies' graves and actually saying "it's like I died with you" I knew we were doomed. Andrew's very sincere and lovable, but the character has no dimensions or flaws whatsoever, he's just this perfect martyr. And somehow we're still doing the "platoon full of wacky archetypes" trope in 20goddamn16. AND it's stunningly, gratuitously violent in a way that feels inescapably xenophobic -- like, obvs the Americans are gonna be the ~good guys, but I swear I have never seen a slow-mo stabbing set to triumphant music before. It's just SO OTT in every way, including in its Jesus/crucifixion symbolism, OF COURSE. And of course the girlfriend is just The Girlfriend and nothing more. ugghhh lord

tl;dr: No. Garf should've been up for Silence.

as someone who watches a lot of war dramas, that's a hard no. not worth watching unless you want to watch people get chopped up with gunfire. gore doesn't even bother me in the slightest, but like everyone else has mentioned it was seriously excessive.

you're honestly better off reading the book or the conscientious objector based on desmond doss's story.

I mean I liked it (but I have weird taste) though it's not as good as Apocalypto.
