The grandaddy of all awrds shows is set to take place on March 7.But are the movies up for accoldes really all that great?While they do cover more varied genres than in previous years that doesn’t change the fact that most of these movies promote something rather than tell a story.
Avatar is the top grossing movie of 2009.And consists entirely of plot piece of other kids movies or action adventre movies.The only original thing about the movie is it’s animation,but it is not nominated in the animation catagory because it contains live action elements.The Blindside is a movie that is advertised as the story of a Black athele who finds a family with a White Texas family.But in reality it’s focus is on the family and how they change and benifit from the new family member.
These movies don’t tell a story so much as advertise a feeling or product.If you look closer at other movies they aren’t telling you a mindless entertaining story they’re selling you an idea or lifestyle.
