I don't care what anybody says....

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2001)

....whoever says they didn't like this movie is just jealous that such a harmonious combination of action, romance, fantasy, comedy, and drama wasn't created by *them*. Perhaps they are filmmakers who have been holding off and procrastinating on making their debut films, waiting for inspiration, and after seeing this their feelings toward the movie were too much to bear. Jealousy 'aint pretty.
Will someone please tell me why this movie DOESN'T belong as a "Top 10"? I enjoyed it more than Godfather and last time I checked, Godfather was ranked at #1.
Whatever...all I'm saying is..I don't want to be disappointed come Oscar night. Like someone else said, they felt toward CTHD the way Elaine from Seinfeld felt when she thought she was the only one who didn't like The English Patient. Well, I didn't likeThe English Patient either(Ralph Fiennes was its only redeeming quality.) , so I understand, but;CTHD> was *so* not TEP.
OK....on Oscar night, I think Gladiator should win at least a few awards, inc.Best Actor Award for Phoenix (though to me Benecio del Toro deserves to win just as well. *BUT*..... it would be SO incredibly perfect to have Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon win for BEST PICTURE. I'm hoping for this on Mar.25; hoping=)
