Hi there; Cloud here today to rant about internet haters.
First and foremost I must ask: what the fuck? Opinions are fantastic and I enjoy hearing them (as much as I want to kick them to the curb as somewhere in my hypothalamus lies a complex that just screams opinionated superiority) but when it comes to flat out dismissing a movie because of its genre or themes, then you've gone too far. People are encouraged to enjoy and prefer their own things, but why go mucking around in others' favorites?
Les Miserables, for example! It was recently nominated for a plethora of Oscars (including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress (Anne Hathaway as Fantine)) while a good few other movies/directors were not. Fantastic! But I will allow one guess for what came about for those other choice movies being shafted and Les Miserables being nominated in their place(s):
Why? Since when it is right in any sense of the word to discriminate (and I use the term lightly) against something because of themes, moods, characters, visuals, etc it portrays in comparison to something else? Les Miserables is a fantastic movie for those who enjoy musicals that convey the themes of love through anguish, sin, and one of the most prevalent of such, transformation of an individual in society.
Thinking back, I didn't have much to say and I haven't worded it fantastically but I dislike that Les Miserables is being doted upon in such a way asdfdsjf
EDIT: Additionally, Hathaway's screentime is irrelevant - she played the role of Fantine with such exceptionally raw power that I'll be incredibly surprised if she doesn't win an Oscar.
