Hacksaw is ok. But Holllywood loves a comeback story with Mel.

It's kind of a manufactured comeback, since they're the ones who blacklisted him.

The whole thing is so transparent. Wow, just one year after the Oscars was roundly criticized for being 100% white, all of the sudden we're setting records for black nominees. Its a total coincidence, it just so happens that no people of color were deserving of a nomination last year!

It was two years in a row, wasn't it? Alongside record low viewing numbers.

dont even fink about it posted:

Standard TV is practically dead, so expect that trend to continue. The viewership, not the No Black People.

Oh, I know. But it, alongside the third factor of virttually none of the nominees being financially successful or even widely seen, all added up to an image of the oscars being badly out of touch, which they obviously are.

I haven't seen Hacksaw Ridge yet but I feel like most of the popular World War II films treat the Axis powers as if they were demons instead of humans.

This is definitely true when it comes to depictions of the Japanese. The Nazis are an army, while the Japanese are a horde.

A film that humanizes Nazis would get so much left-wing flak this day and age.

Fury came out two years ago, and it did not. I think the third act from a different, worse movie, made people forget about the much better first two thirds.
