For anyone interested, 2 movies released in digital (meaning for buy, rent or to watch in your reliable pirate page) this week regarding the Olympics. One was The Fire Inside, a biographical film about Claressa Shields, two times olympic gold medallist in boxing and the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing.

 

The other is September 5, which is a drama film who narrates the coverage of a US TV network during the terrorist attack against the israeli delegation in the Munich 1972 Olympics. This movie got an Academy Award (Oscars) nomination in Best Original Screenplay.

For those who have not yet hear, almost two weeks ago, a group of Mexican creators, led by a trans-woman, released on Youtube their own"homage" to Emilia Pérez, called "Johanne Sacrebleu".

 

On their own words, it's a film "about France and French society, made by people who have never lived in France nor speak French", a clear allusion to the overall egolatry of European and US critics that praised and rewarded Emilia Perez and their Audiard in particular.

 

Here is the link for those who are curious.

 

 

Keeping my mind free of nationalism, I must say that the arrogance of Emilia Perez and their PR's is just that, arrogance. It lacks a good script, the music is no better than musical parodies from bad sitcoms, and the performances suffer as a result of that, probably Saldana being the acceptable one, but far from deserving a Best Supporting (or Best Actress as other would argue) nomination.

 

That being said, I didn't expect much from the politically correct Hollywood community; they wanted to put a transgender person on the spotlight, yet when said person turned out to be a piece of shit human being (there's no proof to the contrary, Gascon has always been an arrogant asshole, even before her gender reassignment), every other participant of this mockery of good cinema and of true representation and visibility has quickly try to save their own flesh. Pathethic.

Looks like Gascon has self-sabotaged anyway after someone dug out the old tweets about George Floyd, Islam and whatever else. Yeah, a film about Mexico made by Europeans. What could possibly go wrong? I read Selena Gomez had to le-learn Spanish to even make it passable on-screen? I'd never suspect she forgot how to speak Spanish fluently  :lol:

Sad news: Gene Hackman is dead.  Always one of my favourites in the 70s & 80s.
