Perspective: The Oscars always get it wrong. Here are the real best pictures of the past 47 years.
I’ve watched “Arrival” three times now. The first time I was overcome — and a bit deflated by the final two minutes. The second time I understood that its ending was a subversion of romantic conventions, rather than a surrender to them. The third time I just sat back and marveled at the sure hand of the director, the subtlety of Amy Adams, the ambition of the story structure.As a multilayered portrait of grief, there is little out there to rival “Manchester by the Sea.
” But what stays with me a year later is the way it undermined the expectations of narrative resolution we bring to movies — and to our own lives. Some wounds can’t be salved, some relationships won’t be mended, some hurdles are never going to be overcome. Having said that, what actuallythe Oscars was, as an Oscar-viewing experience, the best thing that’s ever happened at the Oscars and will never be topped.
