I have a goal to see all nine of the nominated movies for Best Picture. So I’ve scheduled them on GP, and have so far seen four of the nine. This past Thursday my GF E and I saw War Horse and The Artist. I enjoyed both of them but I think I enjoyed The Artist better.
War Horse was a sweet movie, story of this horse that is passed from person to person through out its life ending up back with it owner from childhood. It was an amazing story of the war between Germany and the UK. The power of love, dedication and respect between people and animals, it was also very harsh to watch as many horses in the movie died or were mistreated, story wise. It was a heartbreaking movie especially if you have a love of animals like I do.
The Artist is a silent movie, about silent movies, so be forewarned that it is totally silent. I thought it was fun, it was a long movie but it was a fun movie. It made you think about the way movies were back in the day. It was a light hearted movie about silent movies coming into talking movies. I can understand why it got nominated, truly a different type of movie that audiences are use to.
Sunday morning E and I hooked back up to see The Descendants. I must say so far this is my FAVORITE of the movies. It is the story of a family going through life and learning things about their loved mother, who is on her death bed due to a boating accident. It’s funny, heartwarming, touching and I must admit I had a few tears down my cheeks a few times. The beauty of Hawaii and the history/struggle of the family over all were great added bonuses to the story. I defiantly liked the movie and it touched me to my core. Reminding me that life is so short you never know when something might happen to you to take your life away.
So 4 down and six more to go. I’ll be seeing Extremely Close Incredibly Close tomorrow evening, then down to Hugo and the last few are on DVD. Only 41 more movies for the challenge!
