I can't believe this is the best film at this year's Oscars!

I fell asleep after watching the Qatar flight to Paris before halfway through, but now I can watch the whole film in one breath, I really don't think there are too many surprises, including the so-called long shot, but it is from last year's "Land" A continuation of Gravity. The theme is nothing more than a sneer at the current superhero movies and the stars who make these big commercials, a so-called ruthless attack on the supreme film critic. There aren't many new ideas about the trade-off between ideal and reality and the phenomenon of hit-and-run overnight fame, not to mention the old, over-hyped topics of the Internet and the media. Instead, it's the comparison of actors and stars. This interesting topic attracts me the most. In fact, whether it is Raymond Carver or an actor who devotes himself to the arts, this film is more and more like a love letter to Michael Keaton from a veteran fan, and even the title of the movie imitates the title of his popular movie in the 1980s and 1990s. This kind of film focusing on a certain small circle theme is far from the temperament and human nature of the Oscar movies I imagined. However, when viewed only as an ordinary art film, it feels inferior to many of the Mexican director's predecessors, such as "Beautiful Mistakes" or "Babel."
