Oscar Fest

So, it’s the time of the year when all we can think about is who’s going to win

what in The Oscars. I’m sure many of you would have already bet on your

favourite movies. Haven’t you? Well, I’m excited too.

Meanwhile, I was researching a bit about Academy Award winning films and I

came across this post on my timeline from HBO Defined. They are showing

some of the amazing Academy Awards winning flicks. And the list is quite

interesting. It includes movies like ‘Dreamgirls’, ‘Memoirs of Geisha’, ‘Crash’,

‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’, ‘The Fighter ’, ‘The Social Network’,

‘Hugo ’ and ‘The Iron Lady’.

Allow me to say that all these movies are an absolute must -watch. I’ve a few of

them and I’m sure going to watch the other few very soon. Talking about the

movies that I have watched, I think that would include: ‘The Curious Case of

Benjamin Button, ‘The Social Network’, ‘Hugo’ and ‘The Iron Lady’.

Starting with my favourite, ‘The Iron Lady’ . . .it’s a movie about the life

of the longest-serving Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of the 20 th

century, Margaret Thatcher. The character of Thatcher is played by the

talented Meryl Streep. The movie majorly talks about Thatcher’s

struggle with dementia. Throughout the movie, Thatcher looks back on

the significant moments of her personal and professional life. It shows

the influence that the death of her husband had on her.

The next is ‘The Social Network’ . I think this one is watched by every

Facebook fan. It stars Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, the founder

of Facebook. And I think he completely fits the bill. It won the Best

Adapted Screenplay at the 83rd Academy Awards. Completely worth it!

Coming to ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ . . .Brad Pitt is my

favourite and I think that’s the reason I watched this flick. And it left me

awe-inspired. Directed by David Fincher, the movie is a diary entry of

Benjamin Button. The concept of ageing backwards was awesome

enough to attract the Oscar... and awesome enough to make me adore it.

Last but not the least ‘Hugo ’. . .the movie is set in 1930s Paris. It talks

about an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station. It’s basically

based on the novel called ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret’. The story is a

mystery involved with Hugo’s father and an automaton.

These movies are really worth..... Read more
