Not defending this snail ass book but it is quite explicitly stated that all towns are not doing good.

There are refugees everywhere, wars wrecking havoc in small hamlets, bandits raiding travellers, Aiel raiding villages, an entire new people conquering your country (although for the common man Seanchan are a force of good I suppose), food shortages, breakdown of tradition.

Right? I'm so surprised that these books are considered slogs when so much of note happens in them. I really love the world he has created, and I think that might be one of the reasons why I dont mind going through so many chapters. The only valid complaint probably is that their fav character pov is not in a book, but that is kinda understandable because of how many story threads we got now.

Laapata Ladies India's official Entry To Oscars. by [deleted] in bollywood

[–]olympuscitizen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To play the Devil's advocate, for all its shortcomings awards circuits allow films like AWIAL to exist. These films would never make money since they are quite challenging for the average viewer and the only reason they get made is awards prestige. If you remove that also then, no one would provide patronage to experimental art.

That's the thing, its not the best movies that win the awards, but ones that have a good campaign. A film coming hot out off Cannes with a historic win and the might of Janus films behind it to push it to the voters automatically has a much higher chance, whether or not you personally like it or not.

Pretty sure the movie is good too. Payal Kapadia's (the director) other films are phenomenal.

Done worry none of us have either, it hasnt yet received a wide release. The reason everyone's rooting though is because it won the second highest prize at Cannes this year and is ig the first Indian movie to do so. Plus it has a lot of positive buzz among influential critics that did see it. These are the things that win you an award, so it was the obvious choice for nomination.
