Turncoats

I will tell fairly, I not so like to discuss the films which have received the film award "Oscar", and especially to write on them reviews. First, pictures-winners of this prestigious award always use the big popularity at mass-media, and everyone strives to "immortalise" the opinion on this or that "film prize-winner" on pages of periodicals and on Internet sites. About them it is written already so many that I simply consider as time waste to add something the in this general huge "copper" of universal reviews. Secondly, in the overwhelming majority these films, softly to tell, to me not absolutely approach on genre categories – basically it is melodramas, pseudo-historical tapes, musicals, biopeaks and exclusively politically correct pictures (though also organizers of action it is double-faced открещиваются from giving of ceremony of political character and do not welcome presence of political implied sense in performances of movie stars). I will make a reservation, among them there are the magnificent films really deserving all encouragement, however are available also frankly boring, менторски the fresh director's works playing raised feelings and the aggravated aestheticism of public and that is important, members of the American film academy. I here deliberately do not list the name of films not to draw upon myself just anger of numerous supporters of this or that masterpiece (after all any film which has received "Oscar", everywhere admits a masterpiece, whether not so?).
