Goodness

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2005)

I know I'm going to get criticized and ridiculed by some supremely opinionated people that can't stand the fact that someone is disagreeing with them, but I couldn't stand this movie. The acting was great, parts of it were good, I was completely surprised by what happened in the movie, but in the end, I thought it sucked. I'm sorry, but I, unlike most of America do not go to a movie only to leave it crying and feeling suicidal. I have no moral objections to the movie, and what happened, it was just way too depressing. It doesn't matter to me if other people liked this movie, they can have their own opinion, but I don't like any movie that makes me cry for half the movie and half the night after it.
Which brings me to my second annoyance. The Oscars...now, there was some great acting in this movie, and the people that were in it should've won for best acting, but what is the Oscar obsession with nominating the most depressing movies imaginable for the Oscars? Why not nominate a comedy, it's much harder to make someone laugh than it is to make them cry.
