I have yet to see Gravity, so I cant pass judgement.
But I find it strange when 1 picture wins multiple awards and does not win the big one, Picture of the year.
I also still cannot fantom that my boy DiCaprio has yet to win his 1st Oscar. C'mon Oscars, throw my boy a bone, please.

Woman is lost in space and encounters many extreme obstacles along the way. Isn't that what many great movies are about? X needs to get to Y, however X encounters difficulties and hardships along the way to Y. Not to mention, the storyline wasn't the only awesome part about this movie. In fact, I can agree to this, it might have been one of the weaker links. However, that's nothing to sneeze at. |

a movie doesnt have to have a complex story to provide an amazing experience. the fact of the matter is that the story of gravity is women gets lost in space, and she finds her way back. i mean, if you want to cut every single detail, sure. for example brave heart is a who man gets his wife killed, then goes on to kill the english for freedom and revenge until they kill him.
but back to gravity, its the simplicty of the story is what makes it so brilliant. it portrays a very realistic showing of the challenges found in space. a simple nudge can send you drifting and end up killing you. going from point A to point B seems almost impossible, even though you can clearly see point B and there is nothing standing in the way, but thats it, literally nothing in the way, no friction, no gravity, no control.
look at cloony's death, bullock had him, but the laws of physicis were so different it was impossible for her to save him. his death was so dramatic because it was so unusual. he looked her in the eye, and slowly let go he then proceeded to talk to her normally, while actually dying, it was so unusual, which again, made it so dramatic. he slowly moved away, but that was it, even though he was drifting very slowly, it was it, he was what? 1 meter away after 10 or 15 seconds? but that meter meant an infinity of emptyness.
the simplicity of the story also mirrors the crewl simplicty of Space, its empty and silent, its simple. but its leathal. who ever says Gravitys story isnt good because it doesnt have major plot twists or an unexpected ending that blew your mind doesnt know what a good story is, gravitys story is all about how you feel, and nothing i ever seen made me feel like how gravity made me feel.

At the end of the day, it's just opinion. There's no objective way to truly determine what's the "best" film. Different people are going to gravitate to different films and some films will emotionally resonate with certain groups of people more than others. I don't buy the argument that 12 Years A Slave "only" won because it was about slavery. Otherwise every slavery-related movie from the past would've won Best Picture too, which has not been the case.
I've seen 7 of the 9 Best Picture films (didn't see Nebraska and Philomena) and I can say that they were all very good. I would've voted Dallas Buyers Club personally, but I don't have a problem with 12 Years winning at all.
I bet all the academy judges felt that white guilt kick in. I bet CNN would be having a field day, claiming the oscars is full of racists biggots. I can see it now.
I have yet to see either though, but based on my personal tastes, I can see 12 years a slave being higher above gravity. 12 years a slave represents a reality that was slavery times back in the day. It was a reality many people wish to sideline but it did occur and it is important to remind people of the atrocities committed so we do not commit the mistakes of our past. The african american community takes what happen for granted so badly now a days. I'm not saying use that as an excuse to lash out on others and demand hand outs but as an opportunity to succeed where there ancestors could not and I think this movie is very important for that reason.

You should quote Wright for this, not me. I understand completely.
By the by, It was a nice summary.

Remove special effects and we're back at a dumb character who dies because instead of helping the crew, he was dancing around the space, willing to beat some russian's space-dancing record.
And a woman with obviously mental problems after what happened to her child I keep wondering how they allowed to go to space.
Gravity isn't about how we feel, but rather, how handicapped can you look using a fire extinguisher to reach a spaceship. Of course, in the name of "drama", because she might not reach the spaceship at all.

Try with Blade Runner, then.
12 Years A Slave is a fantastic movie. Of course, Gravity did deserve best picture, but 12 Years A Slave deserved it as well. It really shouldn't be written off, it's a movie that should be seen by everyone.
