Something is changing

Rating: 10/10 (12 April 1999)

I felt really happy and satisfied when Shakespeare in Love won this year's Oscar for best picture. Not just for the obvious reason that I liked the movie but also because this fact proves that "Academy's mind" is changing. Now, it seems that they are discovering good and creative scripts, which some times, are more important than everything else a movie may have. The movie was for sure the best choice among the other nominees for its peculiarity. But the truth has to be told... Watching Shakespeare in Love I didn't feel like laughing, but I also didn't feel like crying... It's strange to admit that a good movie (because it is a good movie) is not an emotional one...
