I was so happy to hear that this movie received 8 nominations for the Oscars. If you haven't seen it- I highly recommend that you do. We saw it after a bad week and it really helped us to heal. It seems as though it would be a sad, tragic story. Bradley Cooper has just been released from a mental hospital and he has been cast out of almost everything in his life. The actors are all great. They are completely believable as Philly style folks. Jennifer Lawrence has also faced a life tragedy and is also a little nutty. The interaction between them is very raw. Robert De Niro plays Bradley's Eagles fanatic father. I mean I think he reminds me of quite a few Philly natives. Even Julia Stiles and the actor who plays her husband are totally believable in their perspectives roles.
I was sorry that Ben Affleck didn't receive any personal nominations, but his movie Argo was a great movie. We knew the outcome because it was a true story and it was still very intense. Alan Arkin and John Goodman made that movie. John Goodman also injected a left into the Flight movie. I think Denzel was perfect in his self-destructive role. I was also happy to hear that Quvenzhane' Wallis was nominated fro Beasts of the Southern Wild. She was spectacular in that role and I loved the movie.
This was a great year for movies. There were so many interesting stories out there. I loved Life of Pi,Perks of a Wallflower and Robot and Frank. Many of the movies didn't have a completely happy ending, but there was always a silver lining!
