It must be exhausting viewing everything through your lens
Maybe EEAAO and Parasite won because they were… gasp deserving winners

They were abysmal and I’m a big fan of Bong Joon Ho but Parasite was his first serious misfire. He’s always been a preachy filmmaker but Parasite was his first film to completely abandon any ambiguity or character depth that had always been present in his other films.

s*** is trash (i never watched it)

Ok, well that’s your personal opinion, and you’re entitled to it, but to imply that the tidal wave of critical support for these movie is due to diversity… that’s just dumb and incredibly bad faith
You see a woke agenda everywhere and now you’re over correcting in the other direction

Incredible movie

It’s not bad faith because I’ve seen plenty of critics openly admit their bias for these movies because of the diversity involved.

I don’t believe I’m over correcting. I still enjoy films made all over the world and I can still enjoy a movie like Nope even if I feel the praise it got was wildly unwarranted. But it’s honestly an objective thought that film criticism and award shows nowadays have massively over corrected and essentially believe that diversity in film automatically makes it a good movie. Even for a film like Oppenheimer, I’d say most of the reviews that praised it spent more time talking about its defense of communism, fragile male ego, and other woke agenda talking points rather than actually discussing the movies merits beyond “direction excellent, acting excellent, score was great”. I’ve never trusted these award shows and film critics less than I do now because I know they’re used to be a time when they actually praised movies that deserved it

Nah not that first one. Shouldn’t even be in the same sentence as Parasite.

I love how these free thinkers rarely if ever criticize conservatives

You could say the same thing for all the people criticizing Sound of Freedom being silent on Blackkklansman when it comes to filtering the truth to satisfy an agenda

There were liberals criticizing that movie, even some that worked in Hollywood. Try again.

You didn’t like it. That’s fine. But you can’t ignore the response other people had to it. Everyone I know in real life loves this movie. Look at the Letterboxd reviews. Look at the YouTube reviewers. They’re creaming themselves. They’re acting like they’ve seen the second coming of Christ. Regardless of your personal opinions, to chalk all that up to diversity is just ridiculous.

Coda won best picture guys.

Sound of Freedom is literally fresh on rotten tomatoes
With that film, it seems like y’all wanted unanimous praise strictly based off subject matter alone

Oscar’s are crap

boots Riley was the only prominent voice who did so

The rest wrote major articles and reviews calling it a super important and brave movie

Compare that to Sound of Freedom where nearly every major publication has wrote about the QAnon s*** and the shady things about the organization that the movie depicts

It’s you that should try again because you’re being disingenuous as f***

White people won
Must be the white agenda

Nah, I just would expect critics to show the same energy they did with BK on Sound of Freedom. They clearly showed their bias and most critics won’t even review sound of freedom

Well BK was made by a legendary filmmaker and stars talented actors.

Sound of Freedom is the average Red Box Liam Neeson movie starring a crazy person.

And Sound of Freedom has received a ton of good reviews and made a lot of money in a wide distribution. Idk how it's an underdog in any way

The movie was a slog to get through..Only award it deserves is maybe Best Soundtrack for Ludwig

spike lees made plenty of stinkers and just because the actor has a big name, doesn’t mean he’s more talented than the millions of other talented actors who don’t get an opportunity because they didn’t play the politics game as well.

Anybody can watch BK and realize it’s written like a parody of a Tarantino movie that simultaneously believes it’s a truthful depiction of real events but blurs everything that goes against it’s agenda to suit its shoddy narrative

I didn’t watch Sound of Freedom but I can’t imagine it’s any worse than Blackkklansman

Also John David Washington? A talented actor? LMAO

Does the media put their spin on things sometimes?
Is there often a liberal slant?
Is there clickbait?
Does the media sensationalize things?
Is there virtue signaling?
Yes, of course
That doesn’t mean there’s not people out there who actually care about films
Not everyone is driven by an agenda
Some people genuinely enjoy films because of the way they make them feel
And yes, what the movie is saying and the message it’s sending are relevant to how we view a piece of art
Critics could have salivated all over Don’t Worry Darling but they didn’t
Not everything is as black and white as you make it sound

It doesn’t seem like you’ve tried to understand why people enjoy BK
You just want to strawman them and throw them into a box
You’re doing the exact same thing you claim others do, but you don’t see it

It's honestly crazy how Sound of Freedom's fake underdog status has let you pretend to be a victim of something. It's a movie. Who the f*** cares

Oppenheimer is about a sad tortured genius making a WMD and how difficult that was for him. It's going to make a billion dollars and get a ton of Oscars. It's a movie. Who cares

These are just consumer goods. It's like criticizing a chicken nugget anymore

Don’t worry darling is an absolute piece of s*** dumpster fire that deserves a 0% on rotten tomatoes and a 5/100 score on metacritic but the liberal agenda still tried to softly defend the film. If a white male director made that movie, critics would salivate at the thought of annihilating it in a far more brutal fashion.

And yeah, you’re right. Some people genuinely enjoy films, but that number is drastically decreasing everyday as social media, mainstream media, and the internet has routinely displayed they don’t care about movies anymore but rather the short clips that make for great memes or attention to spew their bullshit agendas. Even film critics know this and that’s why they spend more time talking about diversity and liberal agendas because they know that gets more attention than actual movie talk.

The most interesting thing about Barbie to movie critics wasn’t the set design or the cinematography or the acting. It was how much it pissed white men off.
