Hey, Sanjuro is a classic.

You really can't go wrong with anything by Kurosawa, can you?

I agree with President Trump and also like movies that are historically accurate like Gone with the Wind. Not like the foreign movies with confusing plots that promote their agendas.

Just rewatched Yojimbo a few weeks ago.

Foreign films can be great. I know, I've watched plenty of anime movies.

I can't believe Weathering with You didn't even get nominated.

I don't know what the academy rules are, but it had its US premiere in 2020.

Criterion Channel has a large selection of Kurosawa for streaming. I rewatched some of High and Low recently. Want to see Dreams someday on an OLED 4K. Beautiful film.

Obligatory "Wings of Desire" comment here. Such a great movie.

My bad -- I thought he was involved in the development of Samurai 7, but he wasn't -- it's just a steampunk retelling of his film.

Samurai 7 - Wikipedia

Not a film, but HBO's "Dark" should be watched in the original German.

“And the winner is a….movie from South Korea. What the _____ was that all about?"
-Trump

Turns out an American company was behind its promotion:

Neon, the company that distributed “Parasite” and staged its successful awards campaign, is majority-owned by Daniel Friedkin, a born-and-bred Houstonian who owns Gulf State Toyota Distributors, the largest supplier of Toyotas to dealers in Texas and surrounding states. His headquarters sits not in Seoul or even Hollywood but on the far west side of Houston, near a local marketing company and an offshore drilling firm.

Trump also tried to take shots at Brad Pitt bc of his low key dissing the Republican Senate but just kinda punched himself in the face in the process. So now all of Twitter is mocking the crap outta Trump & praising Brad Pitt.

Donald always lashes out when his feelings get hurt.

He should know by now that Twitter is sick of his whining.

Ppl try to put down the young that we're fragile "snowflakes" who can't handle criticism but this dude is in his 70s & has meltdowns whenever his feelings get hurt, which is multiple times a day, every day. Him simply not getting his way causes his feelings to be hurt.

Twitter has long been over it. It's why Trump constantly makes himself into a joke when trying to belittle other ppl.

Ben Hur, the great historically accurate classic is my fave.

I'm sorry, but I have to ask this question...

Trump slams Oscars for naming ‘Parasite’ Best Picture, whines ‘Gone with the Wind’ got hosed

Gone with the wind took place in a period in which America was "Great" - so it is understandable why he would say this.

I am sure many Americans want "Gone with the Wind" days back.

Great movie, huge production, and it won 11 Academy Awards, 7 more than the poorly written and acted Parasite. They already have a foreign category for agenda driven garbage films like this.

And so Donald ends up slamming America out of sheer ignorance.
