I have to go with Brody. He was good, but I didn't find it special. I think many good actors could have given the performance he gave. Maybe he's just not my favorite actor, but his was not an Oscar Best in my opinion.

Every time I expressed an opinion, it was always about the movie. Not about me. Every critic is subjective, because, first of all, it´s made by a human being, and second, it reflects the way on how that movie impact on the viewer, on his feelings, his way of thinking, his moral.ITALIANO wrote:Not relevant because ok, you didn't find it comic - but this could say as much of you as it does about the movie. It's not a point which can be relevant critically. It didn't make you laugh. Good to know.
Anyway, there are standards related to the topics you use to criticize a movie. The relevant point here could be if Life is beautiful could be taken as a comedy or at least as a parody.
Sorry, I believed that you were very interested in being part of a board in which his members coluld respect the different opinions and positions from the others with an open mind. Your judgement of "irrelevant" places you in the same corner that you criticize.ITALIANO wrote:But I still think that such a statement is very subjective, so it's not relevant at all.
Still I don´t know you, I can´t guess when you are making a joke or when your comment is serious.Steph2 wrote:ITALIANO wrote:One is allowed not to like Life is Beautiful, of course. But one can't say that there are subjects that a comic can't touch, in comic terms - death, sex, religion, food, French Revolution, Hitler, Popes, and so the Holocaust, too - as Dario Fo has said, even just the idea that there are "sacred" subjects that can't be dealt with in a comic, or humorous, way, is an act of censorship.
From now on, I'll just shut up and let you speak for me. LOL. Thanks Marco, that was my point yes, when I made that "Even Jews..." crack. But apparently even THAT was crossing a line. (Thank goodness for Sabin, or one would think -- going by this board -- that Jews had no sense of humor. Oh, that was a joke by the way.)
Good thing I deleted that joke about Anne Frank...
Assuming that you don´t know me, every word you express related at least to me could be false.
Please, I must to ask you a favor. First of all, try to know each person of this board before making a statement related to it. On the contrary you will be prejudicing, which could constitute the same mistake that you usually criticize.

Well, ok, if you say so... But I still think that such a statement is very subjective, so it's not relevant at all.
Benigni isn't a nazi or even a fascist. His political ideas are completely different.
Wait, Wait!, I´ve never even suggested that Benigni was a nazi, or a fascist. I´ve just intented a critic of his work. I think that he manipulated historical facts. Of course it´s not me who said that. It´s History. His movie doesn´t pretend a revisionism as I´ve read in some place of this thread. That´s why I mantain my idea.
as for your comment regarding that my statement was subjective, I need to remind you that every comment in that board is subjective.
