I was just making sure your idea of film of the year wasn't Live Free or Die Hard, or saying something like Scarface was robbed. Raging Bull sure, Scarface? No way.

If he were to say that Get Rich or Die Trying was one of the great films of all time he'd be entitled to that opinion. And I'd be entitled to never discuss film with him ever again.I'm not going to try ad debate the good art vs bad art because yes it is subjective. Many people with tastes similar to mine loved Crash, I thought it was easily the worst film to ever win the award.I guess there is no real proof in art. I can proove that I am faster or slowe than any one runner in a 100 metre dash but can I prove that Marlon Brando is a better actor than Will Smith? There may not be a single person in the film industry that would say Smith but there's probably a bunch of Fresh Prince fans that think Street Car or Waterfront were terrible.
Crash was a great movie....whether it was the best film to ever win an award or whatever...thats a totally different level of conversation.....What i find sad is that for films to win awards they have to be a generic award winnin note film...people make a movie with an award in mind instead of making the best possible and creative product they can make...its like "okay this is how im going to make my film, so we can win an award"....and to me that brings down the level of the final product.
The best art really is a mirror on society that shows society for what it really is, not the pretentious hammer Paul Haggis talked about when he won his awarda few years back. In my opinion film is like paint, and both are at their finest when they comes as close to duplicating real life. If I can draw a painting of a man that looks so much like him you can't distinguish it from a photograph I am a superior artist than someone that cannot do the same. Thats how I see it. The more real the better. That doesn't mean I want films that have 15 minute secenes of a guy on the tiolet just shitting quietly. You can make creative decisions to make something more entertaining and watchable and still make it real.

When Crash first came out I was a fan of it, but as the time has passed by and I look back at it, I'm liking it less and less. Million Dollar Baby was faithfully adapted, all Clint wants is to tell a good story. It's not like he added the ending so he can win at the Oscars. You really think Scorsese was thinking about Awards while filming The Departed? Besides the Godfather series, what other movies have won the Oscar for Best Picture with a blood bath in the end? The Departed is an action/thriller film that won Best Picture...that doesn't happen often. And if we look at The Aviator, Scorsese just loves doing character study films just take a look at Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. And do you remember the last film like that has won Best Picture? I guess Amadeus is the last one? Not exactly sure, but that's more than 20 years ago.
