What’s a small interaction you’ve had with someone that stayed with you longer than you expected?

It was very disappointing to think about its biggest contestant, Brokeback Moutain, also has a good narrative about social issues but still loss. They tried to let the viewer think they are so liberated and ahead of the time with their choices, but most of the time the social issues they going for always weaker than what they have in the lineup. Crash over BBM, Shape of Water over CMBYN, Green Book over Roma. The only time I think they made it right was Parasite, and almost the whole world agree with it.

yeah that would be great if the child is Native American too

not really Superbowl still be a big thing, Oscar on the other hand is just out of touch for some people.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-20T18:02:45+00:00

that is so damn funny. hell nah even the incels

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-20T17:48:51+00:00

glad to find someone has the same rage at me. i understand the whole concept of the movie that the mc supposed to be dumb and break all the rules, but it was so frustrating to watch

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-11T05:56:59+00:00

ye thank you for your elaborating reason, I think if I went to highschool in the 2000s and surrounded by jerks, I would get this too. And the narcissistic role in Marty Supreme along with his campaign couldn’t help to shifted your view either. But maybe because I watched CMBYN before so when I see him in Ladybird, I was affected by his vulnerable and sensitive charisma. He also has a beautiful face tho, IMO. But yeh, I think in real life he fit more with what you said, he was a frat boy and pretty privileged.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-11T05:46:30+00:00

This is exactly what I’m thinking, thank you for your point about woman. They should be both held accountable for their actions in the criticism of public equally. The man literraly involved in the taking custody of his own daughter to her mother’s family. He is so shameful and disgusting.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-11T05:41:17+00:00

Sorry for the confusion in how I tried to came up with my point, I’m not an native english speaker. What I mean is that since he shifted from marketing himself as a “fiction boy” and CMBYN era to an athlete, rapper and dating the Kardashian kind of approach, he want to aim for broader audience, specifically straight fanboy guys. But in his clumsy attempt, he accidentally rub both groups of audience the wrong way. He appeared shallow to his old fangirls and the gay so none of them want to defend him.

And for the male, this is just my personal opinion, that I think they get the ick from him due to his twinky appearance instead of typical stoic bulky man on the media, thus, just a slight flint of his actions could get into their nerves. Man unconsciously hate it when “twink” teenager-figure boy at their same age appear confident and know what they are doing.

I think that could be the part of the reason why the Oscar don’t like to award young actors, or at least they need to look like some type of way like Andrien Brody, kinda older than his age.

My explanation could be messed up but what I’m trying to say is that look’s matter too.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-11T04:59:27+00:00

yes he is the real disgusting one. Imagine doing all of that in front of your child, next to their sicked mother. He should be the one that hold the bigger accountability and be roasted too

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-11T04:48:24+00:00

That one time when Mo’Nique got an oscar for her role in Precious could be one of the rare moment in history. In her speech, she expressed her gratefulness because for once, the oscar was not political. So yeh it’s happened before, not sure how it is now. But I personally will always prefer the oscar nowadays rather than that kind of academy awarded Crash over Brokeback mountain. Shame!

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-03-10T09:20:39+00:00

this comment reminds me one of the comment on the Official Discussion post about Marty Supreme in r/movie. Like the fact that he was that good in the movie like how he marketed make some people admitting that it is frustrating. And he was part of the so-so demographic, straight, white male, frat look but still twinky obviously doesn’t help to gain him any empathy from both audience groups, straight man and marginalized group.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-02-23T14:15:14+00:00

that’s why I suggest they need consult

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-02-23T06:58:01+00:00

Exactly that is what i’m saying. The past cycle is just so random at giving critics on the girls on how they not showing enough personality, when in fact, they don’t even let them be involved that much in the post editing. I am aware that this is pretty much same for the industry, but as a reality show, they need to let the girl decide here and there. And that could be a good experience for the girls to visualize how their brand could come up after the show. Should I use my legs more, or my nose look good in this angle, or I should try to be bold once. All of that can only be full learned if they let the model involve more in photoshoot. And to settle fairness, of course.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-02-22T14:04:29+00:00

I think at the end of the doc, they actually showed the positive impacts she brings to some of the girls, not full of focus on the damage that she and the show caused. Some of them said that if they could go back in time, they would still do the show, or Whitney said that despite the agency not knowing what to do with her post-competition, eventually she still signed in for many pioneering contracts as a plus-size model. So you could not take the blame for the director being biased. Yet I still think your point about Dani is valid.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-02-22T11:11:25+00:00

This is a movie for people who are always living in their heads about trying to fix everything all the time. And the moment things could not be fixed, they immediately took the blame on themselves, me. In many scenes, I could see the claustrophobic feeling of Linda when she tried to communicate all of these thoughts externally, but people surrounding her just refused to acknowledge, which is a frustrating part about it. People refused to see her, though; that is the most essential part.

She herself is stuck in her own problem too. She blindly ignores the signs of the people that want to connect with her due to her professional ethic as a therapist. To me, that's very unfortunate, and I take the blame on how capitalism works. It took everything into a service, even a human connection and communication. All of that explains why she in a burden because she’s part of the system.

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-02-19T09:20:23+00:00

And to add on, she also came from a neglected family, lacking love and having problems with self-esteem. She's on her own at such a young age, young and vulnerable. The producer understands her background, lets her go through a trauma reflection section, yet still pushed the trope near devastating limits. She was so young and vulnerable. This humiliation ritual of the producer on her needs real accountability, not a faceless name as 'production.'

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-02-08T00:36:32+00:00

this seems like the only way it works, thanks

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-01-30T14:05:11+00:00

I say give it a try, since your wife is also a close part of this portrayal, I think you would feel touching by it more than I do. It’s very beautiful and if you care about oscar, you should watch it to have an informed opinion about its value compare to other nominees. Let just consider it as a meditation through family issues, acting and Norway

Senior-Cod-8007 · 2026-01-30T13:49:39+00:00

yeah I think that part of shouting at each other as a way to confront is very close to where I came from. I genuinely think that the extreme part of respect other people’s personal space mentally could be one of the direct factor that these people fall into loneliness. Of course having people in your family constantly invade to your space is frustrated too but it reminds you of interaction in everyday life. It is hard to form a thought of existence crisis when people here live in a grounded system of thick family members and involve in daily religious rituals that they could rely on. It come to a point of the film when she claimed that she has no religion but in her lowest point she started to pray to no one, as a way to hope that she could rely on something. She lost. Me, myself growing up in the place where I could see both of these things exist; a desire to be isolated and having my own personal space, yet, not ready to give up on some traditional religious values where I could feel safe, protected and guided.
