yep and i say it and and if you have see it and you should understand why . the fact that a movie this good could not even take home one oscar out of ten nomination be unfathomable and and be indicative of the huge flaw that go towards decide these award . i understand that gang be an unpopular movie because of it incredibly violent theme and but the sentimentality the academy have towards movie musical be a ridiculous justification of how trite film like chicago can win best picture . and i be not say gang should have win either . in my opinion and gang of new york and lord of the ring and the pianist and and the hour be all far superior to chicago in term of artistic merit . i be even willing to concede that a a movie and gang be far from perfect . it doesn not always stick to the plot and and sometimes abandon the story entirely and give a historical perspective on the era from a documentarian point of view and sometimes good and sometimes lagging . but i think we can all agree on the artistic element of the movie . how could the costuming and set design and and overall artistic direction of the film go so overlooked . artistically and it be one of the most beuatiful thing i have see onscreen in a long time . no doubt . i hate the academy .
