this movie was jilted at the Academy Awards

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2005)

Having a son who is a filmmaker I try to view all the movies that are deserving of consideration of Oscars. This one was by far the most beautiful film of the year; the cinematography was awesome. This was lost in the cracks as a victim of the obvious politics that is in Hollywood!! Very disappointing results.What was equally frustrating about it not receiving more recognition by the Academy was that for a long time now there have not been very many movies that meet the interest of a wide audience...this one could be appreciated by all ages. Another appealing aspect of this film was that it allowed all of us to return to our childhood innocence and get so absorbed in fantasy that we were allowed to escape the woes of our not so innocent reality. So;I say, "Shame on the Academy" for not rewarding this film .
