Wait, what? This won the best film?

Rating: 3/10 (11 February 2020)

Let's see. Some of the previous best films of the year: The Godfather, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Deer Hunter, Terms of Endearment, Dances with Wolves, Schindler's List, Gladiator, American Beauty are some Oscar winners, but lately, it's been meritless films that won the accolades based on social justice.
It's the decline of Hollywood that has become infested with SJWs. Surprisingly the SJWs weren't upset over Koreans dressing as Native Americans.
Personally I thought JoJo Rabbit was the best of the year, but I honestly didn't see any film in 2019 that was worthy of an Oscar.
Here, we have an extremely unlikely family of con artists that takes a whole hour to get to anything dramatic. Was it somewhat fun? Sure, but miles away from winning the best film of the year. Are we really going to look back at this in 30 years and claim it as a classic? Not a chance.
It was fairly predictable. We knew the honeymoon wasn't going to last very long, I just wish it started earlier. It is also an example that plot-driven movies are never as good as character-driven movies because once you know the ending it's not that interesting to watch again.
It just felt a lack of focus and direction and seems to be 5 different ideas into one film. Also, I didn't buy some of the extreme clumsiness and carelessness. It was just too bizarre to win the best film.
They just don't make films like they used to and that is a shame.
On a side note, Parasite reminds me of another undeserving Oscar winner, SIlence of the Lambs, which was at best a mediocre crime/horror film, a notch above a TV film, but I think it won because it was up against a few not so great films, with the exception of JKF, which I guess should have won considering the competition. Thelma and Louise should have won but wasn't nominated for best picture. 1991 wasn't a great year for films.
