And the movie of the decade-award goes to...

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2020)

Ah... what an achievement. I though that I'd never make a review about this perfect movie... but f#ck it.
The Academy award winning screenplay is in my opinion probably the second best of the decade, behind Bir Zamanlar Anadolu'da for a slight bit. There is just so much thought and effort put in it to make a sensible comical story. There's many quotable lines in it and all of them fit to the characters perfectly. Characters are amazingly written and developed perfectly.
For me, the comedy in it wasn't all that funny. I'd criticize this movie for not being funny, if there wasn't one bit that changed everything completely. The comedy, made everything much more sad. Riggan Thompson's struggle and unpopularity was trying to be funny, but for me it made me care more about the character - Riggan Thompson is just like Llewyn Davis. It didn't make me laugh, but I'm sure that it made someone else laugh his/her #rse off.
The acting in this movie is phenomenal and I'm shocked that no-one got an oscar for their performances. Even the more minor roles, like Zach Galifianakis's, were great. Michael Keaton's performance was mind-blowing, Edward Norton was spectacular and Emma Stone was the perfect icing on the marvelous cake. For me this is the best performed movie of the decade.
...And I got to ask the Academy Awards, how Patricia Arquette's performance was better than Emma Stone's?!
The cinematography is fantastic, it's something that many other movies fail at. For a guy like me, who cares even more about the cinematography than anything else... it's just beautiful. The best way to define the cinematography, would be comparing it to "9th Symphony by Beethoven", both are just incredibly beautiful. The way of making it look like a continuous is meta and perfect. Having the shot looking like it's continuous needs everything to be perfectly timed and that's where the directing comes in. Alejandro G. Inarritu makes everything seem so perfectly timed, that anyone else couldn't probably do. That's the reason why Richard Linklater shouldn't have won an Oscar for directing, and I'm happy that he didn't. Cinematography was the best of the decade, beating even Bir Zamanlar Anadolu'da which had also a very beautiful cinematography.
The soundtrack for this film was the third best of the decade for me, with Inside Llewyn Davis and Gustavo Santaolalla beating it. The drum soundtrack was amazing and it accompanied the movie really well. Of course, people's tastes are different, but I seriously recommend you to listen it.
As a whole, this movie is an achievement and technical marvel that everyone should at least check out. For a small budget of $18 million, it's amazingly made. $18 million isn't a small amount of money, when we think that Whiplash took only $3.3 million to make, but to achieve this much with only $18 million, it's just f#cking amazing.
I don't think that I can find enough words to tell you how amazing this movie is. There is just so much to talk about it, but this is as much as I can tell you without spoilers. I can't recommend this movie enough so please, do me a favor and watch this movie.
I'm really happy that Academy Awards gave this the Oscars that this movie deserved, but I can't forgive them for not giving any Oscars for acting. This movie got the attention that it deserved and I'm happy that Alejandro made this and Revenant in a row. It's a new decade now and I hope that Alejandro makes a comeback.
