Fantastic film.

And Branden, I don’t know you, but you obviously don’t know much about Bollywood cinema. The theme of destiny is central to most Indian dramas. And why wouldn’t you believe Latika would love Jamal? He saved her life twice, and risked everything more times than that for her.

And honestly, with the way the Academy votes for awards, The Wrestler had literally no chance. A dramatic and colorful love story that is also a period piece in an exotic and charming location versus a drug addict wrestling in dank gyms who is a crappy father? Hmm wonder what they will vote for based on previous movies that won multiple awards.

I hated the movie. I understand that the movie was a fairy tale, but it was not good. Every single question is taken from Jamal’s life in sequential order. Say what?

I didn’t believe the “love story” between Jamal and Latika. I meet you, depart, reunite, I love you, let’s be together forever. Give me a break.

I cannot believe that this movie won eight Oscars. EIGHT!

Sorry, I’m still bitter that this movie was Best Picture instead of “The Wrestler”.
