I just don't believe that there is some broad, concerted agenda to add politics into a movie that invites political criticism.

Joker is dipping with critics and Jojo is rising. Once Jojo wins Picture, everyone will be screaming that Joker should have won (and it likely won't even be nominated). Like TDK year but with worse reviewed movies on both side (Joker reviews <<<<TDK reviews, Jojo reviews <<<< Slumdog reviews). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't see Joker not making it in. There's too much controversy and it's a crowd pleasing film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like TDK year but with worse reviewed movies on both side (Joker reviews <<<<TDK reviews, Jojo reviews <<<< Slumdog reviews). I didn’t even think about it before, but now that you mention it, I actually think that Jojo Rabbit really does have a good chance of winning Best Picture. I’m certainly not expecting the Academy to give it to The Irishman, what with it being a Netflix film and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorddemaxus Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 @Ororo Munroe. You were right. The movie does have nothing interesting to say. It even has Fleck saying "I'm not political". Philips was too much of a pussy to say anything interesting and took the boring centrist route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a really beautiful/introspective movie that I wasn't expecting from Quentin, and I'd be surprised if the Academy didn't fall in love with it.

Without stellar reviews, it was always going to struggle to even get a nomination. It needs to be a big box office hit to have much of a chance now. I have to say, seeing RT give it the certified fresh label after witholding it for so long and then to take it away a day later... comical.

Of course, I haven’t seen the movie yet, but it’s a PG-13 movie about why bigotry is bad, so that’s something it has in common with GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What party would he even be associated with any way? Joker (any version) strikes me as someone who wouldn't vote or would just write himself in for the lolz if he even reached the poll.

Yeah, Jojo's gonna be King Speech to Irishman's Social Network or any other combo of feelgood movie beating a legit masterpiece. @lorddemaxus I think that Jojo will actually go up when critics who are not festival highbrow crowd chime in.

No, I mean that was Philips voicing his own intention to the audience. I took it as Philips basically telling the audience that the he didn't want to take a side of have a message in this film. 3 minutes ago, Ororo Munroe said: Lmao.

Joker is certainly an Oscar friendly movie. It's gonna do well with in the nternational awards, the guilds and with the HFPA (which is why Bohemian Rhapsody, Vice, and Green Book became competitors last year with zero critics support).
