I liked GBH a lot, but I'm a sucker for Wes Anderson's attention to detail. I'd say it suffers compared to his other works in terms of plot, so if you aren't enamored of the look of his films, you will probably end up wondering why you watched.

I rarely get angry at movies, not matter what I just got ~2 hours with the phones off.

I'd say if you enjoyed Moonrise Kingdom at all you'll have enough fun with GBH

I get pissed at endings.

I wanted to see that when it first came out but due to my travel schedule never got the time. Then it left the cinemas. It's right up my ally, especially with the art direction or set design and costumes. Looks very visual.

If you want that, it would seriously lengthen the Oscar ceremony which has had complaints in the past of being too long.
I'm sure that audience were already familiar with the works of those people anyway.

Every movie that was in the category with it for best picture was better imo. I wish I wouldnt have wasted my money on it.

It's definitely a movie that you'd like, based on your postings here. It's hilarious and I'm glad I finished it because the first 20 min I couldn't wait to turn it off. It was sorta slapstick with funky music, but then it really picks up steam.


I never saw Imitation Game. Is that the movie where the Brits discriminate against the girl who's smarter than all the boys, and the gay who's smarter than all the straights - who overcome it all to defeat the Nazis?

Hey, I'm a lover not a hater...

Well, sorta...but it wasn't the Brits that discriminate against the girl. It was more her own parents. Yes, it is agay who cracks the code, but it's awesome how he comes to figure it out. ( unless that was just for drama ) It's still an excellent story. Much better than The Theory of Everything, which was good but The Interview was riveting.

I like history-based films, creative non-fiction as well as historical fiction. They usually get me motivated to study an era or event to check out more since these can use artistic license for dramatic effect.

What?!

Oops! Good catch. I meant the The Imitation Game. For some reason I keep calling it that, even here in person. Probably because it starts and ends with an interview. ( well really it's an interrogation or police questioning)

Then what the gay part for? Is it part of the story or unnecessary?

It is part of the story—that story. It's true about the guy's life and what happened to him later despite his massive contribution to the war effort.

Besides every film director puts his stamp on a story.

A little analysis that doesn't spoil too much
