More from the night

Ok, finally more on Oscar Night. Like I said before the night was very theatrical. It was like they were on a stage while presenting the Oscars. Of course we know they were using a literal stage, but it was more like a set up on Broadway. It was very nice. I have so many movies that I really need to see. I haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire yet and that got the most love out the night. If they would've had phenominal actors and actresses I'm sure they would've had the top 5 (best picture, best director, best actor, best actress, best writing). They had the top three even though not there is a difference in writing; original screenply and adapted screenplay are put into separate categories.

One day I will be there. I may be 23 already and seem too old (only in my eyes really), but I'll hold my many Oscars. And I'll give God thanks and praise first and foremost because that has clearly not been said by anyone for years. And I don't care what they'll think about me. Actors/Directors/Producers used to acknowledge who gave them air to breathe and the mind to pull of the beautiful extraordinary work that they do but I guess since they've seen a reduce in movie attendance, they have given up. Art is so important. Film is an art form, that expresses beauty. One that I am so excited to be apart of. I am just going to keep moving forward and keep my eyes on God so I don't fall.

So I just watched 'The Reader'. I do notice a lot of non-American films show nudity like it's nothing, because they don't show it so you can lust, they show it as 'oh these people had an affair and this is what theirs looked like and how it affected them.' So I'm not promoting this movie due to that fact but I will say this; it is a movie where it sparks a lot of discussion. A lot of key points in the movie in the scenes where they laid in bed after they made love so you those were kind of needed at the main focus of the movie. It did leave me with a feeling of deep sadness. I won't give away what happened, but it was sad. Good, but sad.

So now I'm going to go listen to some happy Slumdog Millionaire music (the song Jai Ho is really good) and imagine I'm flying in the sky. . . yes I do believe that humans will fly and not in planes. Wheter with jets or special shoes, we'll fly and dance in the sky . . .
