Podcasts about best writing original screenplay

The genre of war films has been explored regularly throughout the years. These movies come in many different packages. There are standard installments where the message behind the film is the chaos of war and the lack of meaning behind the conflicts. Many of the Hollywood films over the years incorporate these messages in different stories from different wars. They are important messages, and there is a reason the genre is still explored today, but what doesn’t always get highlighted is the perspective of the other side. The movie ‘Valkyrie’ comes to mind when thinking about an American production told from the point of view of Germans. While the film can be considered well-done, with a solid leading performance from Tom Cruise, eyebrows were raised at this American telling of a German tale. This isn’t the only time a famous American movie decided to tell a foreign story. Another example is ‘Letters from Iwo Jima.’ Again, this can be considered a well-done film. It won an Oscar for Sound Editing and was nominated for Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Achievement in Directing, and Best Writing - Original Screenplay. Crucially, for this story, Iris Yamashita was involved in the writing.

Casper, Jesper, Brie og Oscar-noob'en Niels gnasker sig møjsommeligt gennem samtlige kategorier for at finde ud af, hvilke film, der vinder i hvilke kategorier og det er absolut ikke let i år. Ja, La La Land ligger uden tvivl i føretrøjen, men hvilke af dens virvar af nomineringer, kan den forvandle til vindere? Kan Moonlight snigløbe sig til nogle priser? Og hvor store chancer har de danske Oscarbud? Alt (og vi mener ALT) bliver vendt og drejet i løbet af episodens ca. 4½ time. Som sædvanligt har Jesper set nærmere på Akademiets Sci-Tech Awards og Niels har udnyttet sin kærlighed for dårlige film til at se nærmere på årets Razzie-nomineringer.

Political satire, comedy, and drama collide in Charlie Chaplin's most commercially successful film, The Great Dictator. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers Patron at patreon.com/MajorSpoilers. It will help ensure Zach on Film continues far into the future! THE GREAT DICTATOR The Great Dictator is a 1940 American political satire comedy-drama film written, directed, produced, scored by and starring Charlie Chaplin, following the tradition of many of his other films. Having been the only Hollywood film-maker to continue to make silent films well into the period of sound films, this was Chaplin's first true sound film. Chaplin's film advanced a stirring, controversial[3] condemnation of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, fascism, antisemitism, and the Nazis. At the time of its first release, the United States was still formally at peace with Nazi Germany. Chaplin plays both leading roles: a ruthless fascist dictator, and a persecuted Jewish barber. The Great Dictator was popular with audiences, becoming Chaplin's most commercially successful film.[4] Modern critics have also praised it as a historically significant film and an important work of satire. The Great Dictator was nominated for five Academy Awards - Outstanding Production, Best Actor, Best Writing (Original Screenplay), Best Supporting Actor for Jack Oakie, and Best Music (Original Score). In his 1964 autobiography, Chaplin stated that he could not have made the film if he had known about the true extent of the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps at the time. - Wikipedia
