Parasite's Oscars triumph sends a message. It's one that Hollywood should heed (Column)
,” which is no doubt a skillfully sincere war film, crafted by Mendes in homage to his grandfather, who fought in World War I. Yet let’s be honest: One of the key reasons that everyone in the universe thought “” was a slam-dunk to win the Academy Award for best picture is that the film checked so many made-to-order boxes of Oscar comfort-zone classicism.
Bong himself gave Marty the evening’s most moving shout-out, when during his acceptance speech for best director he quoted an anonymous source who said that in making films, “the most personal is the most creative,” only to reveal that the quote had come from Scorsese himself. Talk about a line that spoke volumes! That one simple, telltale word —— sums up everything that has leaked out of Hollywood movies.
But I think that ignores the way that the Oscar race, in recent years, has taken on the intensely heated quality of a culture war — and, what’s more, that the culture war has now merged, in a major way, with the larger culture war taking place in America. I bring this up not to rehash the “Green Book” debate but to make the point that these issues, as played out during Oscar season, have taken on an unruly life of their own. It started the year of #OscarsSoWhite, and continued with the “Moonlight” upset of “La La Land,” a movie that itself was called on the carpet, at least in some quarters, because of its white jazzbo hero.
