Aldo has been championing South Korean cinema in these pages for years. They have churned out some top quality stuff over the last 20 years. Good to see them getting the recognition they deserve.
There we go, an Asian film won best film, and an asian won best director..... That should appease people for a decade or so. Like when they had Denzel Washington and Halle Berry win best actor and actress respectively in the same year, because people were accusing them of being racist. And Denzel, who is an exceptional actor, won it for one of the ****tiest films he has ever done, performance wise, Training Day. He should have won the Oscar when he did Malcolm X, and they knew they done ****ed up by not giving it to him, so they compensated for giving it to him for a film that didn't deserve it at all. I mean training day is a decent enough film, but it shouldn't have been winning any Oscars Its like in football when a referee ****s up a decision and awards a penalty when a player dives, so then he compensates by awarding a soft as **** penalty down at the other end!
Denzel was fantastic in Training day mate. Denzel is fantastic in anything he's in. Yes, even the Magnificent 7 and that film was shìte.
