The thing with Society of the snow is that it was directed trying to make justice to the real story. It's a very intense movie, but that's because the real situation was just as intense, imagine living your whole life normally and then you're caught in a plane eating people alongside friends and strangers for weeks... the thought got me hooked to the movie and left me thinking about it for days, knowing they were real people and that the events are pretty much 1 on 1 with reality made all the difference, which usually is not the case with other disaster biopic movies
I am making a face of horror here, just reading you and contemplating that being a part of my life. What a horror to live through, what an unlikely but very real scenario. Just wow!
i love how everyone can agree that society of the snow deserved a much better recognition. the movie is a masterpiece, and did justice for the survivors. heck, even the actual survivors played a small part of the film. i was shocked that it didn't win an oscar, at least it got nominated.
To have a real shot at wining Best International Film, a key sign is multiple nominations in more than one category (like The Zone of Interest, Quiet On The Western Front, etc.). It shows that many members of the academy watched it, that it was popular, that they liked it a lot 👈🏼 All of this means high chances of a win. Come awards night, if it begins winning those tech categories, you’ve got yourself a clear Best International Film winner. When I saw that it only got the one nom, I knew this wasn’t the winner, no matter how good the film is.
There's a channel called "When The Pictures Got Bigger" that is in the process of doing exactly that. He's covered 3 different Oscar ceremonies so far.
Honestly crazy choice. I think Karsten didn't understand the point of Society of the Snow, it's a very different narrative than the usual american hero/survival story. A shame.
I didn’t love Maestro, but I think it’s the better crafted film. Society of the Snow is very gripping and has a great story, but Maestro is much more creative in how it tells the story
Definitely disagree with Society of the Snow and was one of the best for me of the whole year🤯 I disagree it was ALL intense, there were lots moments of stillness in there and with such a large cast it did an amazing job connecting you with these characters and rooting for them to the end
@@philmaker_ it's unfair comparing it to the 1993 movie considering the original one was a Hollywood production deeply disconnected from the uruguayan- argentinian culture, this version was very special and loved for all of us
@@waldo109 do you even know what shot by shot remake means? It means they really copied a lot from the first movie. They did nearly everything like the first movie did and didn’t give it a different perspective or anything. And don‘t get me wrong, I liked the movie. But considering that it basically is just a newer version of the other film, just makes it less of a filmmaking achievement. And the Oscars are there to award the biggest filmmaking achievements. That‘s my point. Of course it‘s still a good movie.
How did The society of the snow hurt u sooo bad?? It's hard to portray so well the brotherhood between the characters instead of the typical castaway film. It's moving and fresh and exciting... To me, one of the best pictures of the year
It's too intense for his soft little cinephile brain, he tried enjoying it like a regular film and not an adaptation of a tragedy that happened to actual people
Over Across the Spiderverse is a crime tbh. I'm sure there are plenty of other scores too but the score for Across the Spiderverse is my personal fav of what I heard last year
@mickyjoe97 Its genuinely one of my favourite scores of all time. Every track breathes as much colour and life inti the film as the animation does. Gwen's theme in particular makes me excited every time I hear it.
@@yacinealimi7808I agree. I remember having a convo with someone abt it and they were saying they didn’t understand how it could be considered ‘satire’ and i’m like did we watch the same movie orr..
Oppenheimer made me feel like I was being held hostage for 3 hours. It was too much of everything and it made me resent it, which is a shame because it is a good movie (in theory).
Can’t catch me now for the ballad of songbirds and snakes should have been nominated 😢 such a great song that even serves as an epilogue to the movie itself! A lot of very small details that makes rewatches for the movie so enjoyable!
20 days in Mariupol was totally deserved. So many people don't even know how hard it was to take the footage out of occupied Mariupol. The director and the operator, accompanied by a local policeman, all drove together in a car through 15 russian checkpoints (100 km of russian-occupied territory), while the cameras and hard drives with materials were hidden under the seats of the car - something for which they could all be killed if the russians found out. You can't even imagine what they felt.
Totally undeserved, in one of the shots they used footage from another movie called ,,Toys" which showed the suffering of children from the donbass region. Not only is it full of lies and misleading content but it portrays it as if the residents actually liked ukraine which isnt the case.
I think you didnt understand society of the snow, it's obviously not your Hollywood drama, it's intense because the story is intense, its also not about the stakes but about the emotions and the brotherhood that is formed between them
I actually thought you'd forgotten Society of the Snow for a bit there. I haven't watched all of these, but I have seen a good chunk of them, and personally, it's in the lower few of my top 10. Regardless, inform your own opinion, right? That's the beauty of art.
Past Lives was my favorite film of the year and I feel like as awards season drew closer it kinda just got forgotten about :( I feel like in other years or with more campaigning this year it could easily be a Best Picture winner
Genuinely think it was too quiet and subtle for the average movie watcher but that's exactly why I loved it so much. It’s able to capture so many feelings without having to spell out everything for the audience. I also feel like many people, especially those without immigrant backgrounds, tend to misinterpret the movie or focus too much on the childhood friend/crush part of the movie. Obviously it's a huge part of it but it's also about how Nora essentially loses a part of herself by leaving and how she deals with leaving that part of herself that never got to be behind.
That was an accomplishment. Thanks for putting it together. Always appreciate your take on film. I'm concerned Poor Things might not get too much Oscar love. We'll see.
For me personally I’d say the best documentary was 20 day’s in Mariupol, mainly because the purpose of a documentary in the first place is accurate historical information, nothing else holds as much importance to a documentary then complete accuracy.
Maestro reminded me of a student filmmaker who features all of these artistic decisions, particularly with the cinematography, without any real justification for their inclusion other than, "Isn't that what all renowned directors do?"
I really appreciated that for almost the entire list, you focused on the positives of each nominee. You had something nice to say about almost every film and that’s really refreshing to listen to.
Past Lives is my favorite, one of my favorite movies period, but I was blown away by Ninety-Five Senses. Just the way that story unfolds with a sudden one-two was exquisite, such a fantastic blind experience.
I'm so happy May December is your favorite movie of 2023. My Top 3 are May December, Poor Things and Anatomy of a Fall.... But I haven't seen The Zone of Interest yet.
May december felt like a drama from the early 90's drama/thriller in the best possible way. The sinister tone conveyed through the score and cinematography is highly overlooked.
I think what gets me about Godzilla Minus One is that it didn't have a big budget, at least compared to other movies with lots of vfx. Yet it looks so damn good.
Everybody be watching all the Oscar nominated films acting like they’re the holy grail of filmmaking meanwhile ignoring the fact that Meg 2 was snubbed for every category 💀
Color Purple should have had an Art Direction nomination. All the beautiful back lighting moved me totally. Beautiful to look at especially during the musical numbers.
The whole "twist" thing and knowing there is a twist ruins the twist is ridiculous. For example, I had heard there was a twist in Old Boy. I did not know what it was and I figured it out about 15 seconds before the reveal and that's the best way to figure out a twist. That movie floored me and horrified me.
Same! I literally watched The Holdovers a few hours ago and enjoyed his performance but nothing stood out about his performance in particular. Though he was great, Cillian deserves best actor this year. Hands down
6:39 indeed, Oppenheimer makes the best view blockbuster success and it’s the most incredible biopic story about a man who created atomic bombs and focus a lot detail of making a man’s history with people and other parts. This probably will win best picture, Nolan deserves directing achievement, supporting role to Downey Jr., editing is nice, score is great, and that’s all the films gets credit for.
25:25 this might win because I like how repairmen’s work hard to fix musical instruments and it’s nice doc short. Seen in Hulu or Disney+. Love the Mexican repair woman who worked hard so she deserved and thanks to Univision to make her interview and picking her for prepared to the Oscars.
4:30 I've waited quite a long time for a film like this about the insidious destruction of my people. Prayers to my brothers and sisters in Palestine suffering from the same issues.
It's my first year doing the Oscars Death Race as well. Wasn't able to see The Boy and the Heron or Godzilla Minus One, which is a shame because I think both of those will win their respective category. Loved this vid man. Can't wait to do the death race again next year and hear your opinions!
Im impressed u watched them all. I just saw poor things the other day. It was def unlike anything ive seen before; i mostly liked it. The only other nominated movies I saw this past year were barbie and past lives. Past lives was incredible; I left stunned and crying.
Oh i forgot that i also saw the holdovers. Its good and i like that it feels vintage; i dont know why davine joy randolph is being raved about in it. She is good but i dont think she was in that much of the movie and making a big enough impact to be raved about.
@@laurenbendik2006 Oppenheimer may seem long if you watch it thinking it will be a fast dialogue Tarantino type movie. But you need to fully transfer to this world. But yeah - it's a good movie. Have a nice day.
I always find it infuriating how difficult it is to watch the shorts, especially Live action and animated shorts, without going to illegal downloading or whatever. It seems like nobody wants people to actually see them?
@@ljacobs357 Because it's not a typical Holocaust movie. The disturbing thing is the normal life of a family next to the place in which people were tortured and killed. This film is supposed to disturb in that sense everyone. Sorry if you read it in kinda "your dumb" way, I don't mean it. Have a nice day
I love that Karsten telling us he’s only the second most famous Karsten has apparently prompted all of us to go to his Famousbirthdays page and now he’s the most famous Karsten.
disagree with society of the snow. the knowledge that this is a real event causes a level of investment where the constant intensity makes you so anxious the entire film, and you end up feeling with them - the dread whenever some new terrible thing happens, the relief at even tiny victories, and the pure joy when they see the farmer. i think the end could have been paced a bit better, it was weirdly rushed, but the film was about the humanity and connections of the survivors, not the action or drama. i think it's an incredible work of art and i do cry every time i watch it.
Oh and for me, even though I definitely agreed with the awards Poor Things and Oppenheimer got as I've enjoyed both tremendously, I'm leaving this Oscars season with one of my favorite movies of all time etched in my brain and heart: Perfect Days. I sincerely can't stop thinking about it randomly ever since I watched it. I know it may not be for everyone, but it's still my absolute favorite.
I still don't understand the hype behind Oppenheimer to be honest. Watched it, enjoyed it, but for a lot of people it seems to have just stuck with them, whereas I found it to be a pretty average movie on a character level (as per with Nolan), with average acting from Cillian, Safdie & Florence, but a great experience from a cinematography standpoint, and with Robert Downey Jr. doing his best work in a while. Solid 7/10 film for sure.
I get your point, but in these times, the theme of nuclear attacks and that people will do anything to win even if that means war, is just important. Film has a few flaws, but it's in my opinion film that a lot of people should see.
I can’t get behind what you said about across the spider verse when you were reviewing boy and the heron, suggesting that across the spider verse was picked just because it’s louder. Sure that’s one aspect but hardly the main point and where were many quiet and contemplative moments along with so many themes and the meta aspect of the narrative that runs so deep in across the spider verse. Also with the animation I feel like it was just as if not more detailed than the boy in the heron, especially the when the mumbattan universe and spider society scenes show up but I digress!! Not trying to write a whole essay or anything, just saying my piece lol. Fun video tho!
I really disliked Oppenheimer's editing. It just felt like I was watching a trailer for much of the movie and I struggled to get into it. I was just waiting for an actual scene to start.
I seriously didn't expect me to cry so hard watching Robot Dreams. Personally it was Best Animated Feature for my taste. Listening September never felt the same way after watching this... So glad this one got nominated.
“My best” BP noms plus snub, ranked: The Zone of Interest Anatomy of a Fall Poor Things Past Lives The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon May December Oppenheimer Maestro Barbie American Fiction
Nyad is absolutely not a true story. Look up “Nyad fact check”. She’s a pathological liar and the swim she supposedly completed could not have been completed in the way she claims to have done it. Obviously the film isn’t entirely to blame for her lies (but the filmmakers should take *some* responsibility for blindly parroting them).

Check out the novel Miracle at the Andes. Very well told

Society of the Snow is way too low imo, that was seriously one of the most powerful and intense films I have ever seen
When I saw the title for a second I thought this was every movie that was ever nominated for an Oscar, not just those from last year
There's a channel called "When The Pictures Got Bigger" that is in the process of doing exactly that. He's covered 3 different Oscar ceremonies so far.

I hope Killers of the Flower Moon doesn’t get the same treatment like The Irishman did. All the nominations but no wins…

Society of the snow should be higher. It is really good. Much better than napoleon or mission impossible.
"If everything is intense, then nothing is"... What about Oppenheimer, though ? How is it not overly overwhelmed all the time ?
yeah movies like Oppenheimer and Dune 2 made me feel a lot more overwhelmed than Society of the snow personally, I think it's just a matter of taste
Exactly, the soundtrack and editing trying to be soooo intense all the time is horrible, trash film
imo there were a lot of mundane scenes that didn't focus on the bomb as much
Even movies like sicario.
Oppenheimer made me feel like I was being held hostage for 3 hours. It was too much of everything and it made me resent it, which is a shame because it is a good movie (in theory).

Solid 7/10 film for sure.
I get your point, but in these times, the theme of nuclear attacks and that people will do anything to win even if that means war, is just important. Film has a few flaws, but it's in my opinion film that a lot of people should see.
i found all the performances in the film incredible. it really had a talented cast.
11:09 he should not only have been nominated, but also have won the goddamn oscar
I was really impressed by the Ukrainian documentary film "20 days in Mariupol"!
Mad props for the two Cheeto related puns during the flaming hot section without even acknowledging them
Number one Karsten on FamousBirthdays now!
I was wondering if you'll ever do a ranking of every single movie that has won best picture.
My favourites were killers of the flower moon and society of The snow
I can’t get behind what you said about across the spider verse when you were reviewing boy and the heron, suggesting that across the spider verse was picked just because it’s louder. Sure that’s one aspect but hardly the main point and where were many quiet and contemplative moments along with so many themes and the meta aspect of the narrative that runs so deep in across the spider verse. Also with the animation I feel like it was just as if not more detailed than the boy in the heron, especially the when the mumbattan universe and spider society scenes show up but I digress!!
Not trying to write a whole essay or anything, just saying my piece lol. Fun video tho!
Finally someone else who recognizes that Our Uniform is better than Pachyderm.
Our Uniform is like a mini-Persepolis
When you said "for the first time ever" at the start, I thought you were gonna say you weren't sponsored by MUBI lol
My assumption on Dial of Destiny getting a nomination is because it’s John Williams last movie, though I definitely disagree with the nom.
I also disagree with the nomination. John Williams should've picked the better film to score tbh.
Another banger by the second most famous Karsten
Best method of Oscar rankings. Ever!
I really disliked Oppenheimer's editing.
It just felt like I was watching a trailer for much of the movie and I struggled to get into it. I was just waiting for an actual scene to start.
Is anyone else on this asteroid city hill with me?
Oscar? I hardly know ‘er!
Haha. Jokes like these will always crack me up
godzilla being so low is shocking
The animated shorts are always a good watch
Where are they available?
I seriously didn't expect me to cry so hard watching Robot Dreams. Personally it was Best Animated Feature for my taste. Listening September never felt the same way after watching this... So glad this one got nominated.
“My best” BP noms plus snub, ranked:
The Zone of Interest
Anatomy of a Fall
Poor Things
Past Lives
The Holdovers
Killers of the Flower Moon
May December
Oppenheimer
Maestro
Barbie
American Fiction
15:55 it deserves the best visuals by far. Give respect for Minus One
I’ve finally got around to doing this, I just have to finish the live action shorts category
THANK YOU!! Spider-Man did deserve a Best Score Nomination and I’ll never shut up about it.
What????? Maestro higher than Society of The Snow??? 😨
35:39 Coleman Domingo was also evil af in Zola.
Nyad is absolutely not a true story. Look up “Nyad fact check”.
She’s a pathological liar and the swim she supposedly completed could not have been completed in the way she claims to have done it.
Obviously the film isn’t entirely to blame for her lies (but the filmmakers should take *some* responsibility for blindly parroting them).
