the older you get, the better the movie is.

Rating: 5/10 (12 April 2012)

Since I'm not really good at reviewing something, I'll make it short.
I don't mind if you can predict what's going to happen in a movie. But if you do, you should not watch this movie. If you are old, like the people who give awards, this movie suits you perfectly. it actually is kissing the academy's' thing where the sun doesn't shine quite often in many different ways.
if it wasn't for Scorsese, i would have given it a 3 at max. But he did a great job directing it, and it has lots of sweet details. the movie is never touching, it is never thrilling or tense (all your predictions will be right, at least if you partly pay attention), you actually will not really figure what the plot of the movie is, and there are no deep characters. yet, i enjoyed to movie. it is somehow about why I love movies. it has showed me, why I keep looking at that square thing at the wall that shows moving pictures and why I hardly do something that is actually productive. i guess that's the part that got to the guys at the academy..
is it better than The Help, or Moneyball? nope, not at all. actually, if it wasn't for the kissing-the-arse-of-the-academy-part, this movie would not have made it to the carpet.
