Crash won Best Picture
Shallow:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't think it was so genuine. I'm sure they were genuinely happy but I think they were trying to "keep it real" with the streets that they ended up looking goofy.
Javy; I didn't think it was a great movie because I didn't think it was a great movie. It was praised for it's moral stance. That's obvious. I guess it brought up a lot of issues that most people don't talk about. I do talk about these issues and have for years and nothing I saw in that movie made me think about how I act in life. For others it obviously did.
I think every movie that ever won is best picture worthy, and every movie nominated is too. I just think that this year Crash was the least deserving and I think the message overshadowed the art.
Have you seen the other 4 movies nominated?
And Sik; to me it seemed as if Three 6 were playing stereotypes. They wrote a song on pimps and drug dealers and acted like thugs. And no I don't think that is really what they are like. I know enough black people to know that too many street blacks put on a different face for the streets and when the streets is watching them then the real face they have. The face they put on when they have nothing to prove to anyone. This happens with everyone, unfortunately with blacks the only face that really gets focused on more than any other one is the degrading face of the low level blacks. Even to the point where if a black doesn't act like that he gets accused of being "white". My guess is groups like the NAACP and people like Chuck D will be much more upset about it then I could ever be.
I don't have a problem with the way they were excited. Nothing wrong with that. I didn't thimnk Cuba was "cooning" when he won a few years back, like Nas thought.
Javier:
Yeah I saw Good Night and Good Luck and A History of Violence. Between those 3, I rank A History of Violence at the top of the list then Crash and then Good Night and Good Luck. I'm interested in Capote, but not Brokeback Mountain because it's a love story, and Im not a huge fan of love stories.

Never thought that movie had a chance at winning an oscar but its a pretty good movie. I wont see the other nominees till they come out on dvd.

Well you do realize that the movie they did the song for was about pimps and drug dealers right?
As for how 3-6 carried themselves, I don't know them personally so I can't speak on it. In my opinion, they did just fine. Especially considering that they're ghetto as hell lol.

I don't have a problem with the actual song (eventhough I could see it only being nominated because racist whites to laugh at black stereotypes). The interpretive dance didn't blend with the hip hop style performance but that's neither here nor there.
As for how they carried themselves; if I go to where they live and go to church with them on Sunday and hang out with just them afterwards and they dress up like that and speak like that a hype up everything then I'll retract what I said. Until then I'll see it as just another case of "keeping it real". I just find it odd that in a place where they tell everyone to get dressed up and stay dressed up that these guys were allowed to dress like that. Even the girl who sang the hook and played a whore in the film was dressed up and she looked fine singing that song. I don't think it would have taken anything away from the performance if they had suits on, particularly considering the interpretive dance involved. And I think they were allowed to dress up like that because who ever let them was counting on people laughing at them. I'm not upset with Three 6 because I think they are the victims in this. I think a lot of people won't say too much about it because the blacks won't go too far since they are street rappers and the whites will just pretend it wasa good fun time. If Terrence Howard had performed the song dressed like that then he'd be the victim of fury this week.
