Magaly Solier was superb as a young women which is affected emotionally and psychologically by violence. On the other hand, the acting was really convincing. It is a history that could be taking place in the middle east, south america, asia or africa these days. In the end you see Fausta a child of rape getting rid off all her fears and looking ahead with hope without feelings of hate or bitterness. However, it takes strong women to get over those terrible times, start again and give themselves a chance in life. The psychological aspect of it, makes the movie really interesting, the victims are marked for life out those horrible experiences. Women as consequence of terrorism but it is obvious that in any war situation this problem would arise. On the effect on the victims as human beings and later in the impact they have in theirĬhildren which are collateral victims of the violence. The violence against women issue which is so current world wide. I was quiet impressed by The Milk of Sorrow. I saw the movies nominated by the Academy for the Best Foreign Movie Award and “The Witness – From the Balcony of Room 306″ Henson, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” Penelope Cruz, “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” I’m a LITTLE bit surprised that The Dark Knight didn’t get nominated for best picture… but honestly I didn’t think it was one of the 5 best films of the year, so I can’t say I’m shocked.ĭavid Fincher, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”īrad Pitt, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” Other than that, it’s a pretty solid list. Wall-e only got the token cop out nomination for Best Animated Film… which is total bull. The only real shaft of the whole thing was that the very best film of the year… by a MILE… didn’t get nominated. The obvious winner in the 2009 Oscar Nominees list was obviously The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button with 13 nominations, with Slumdog Millionaire coming up 2nd with 10 nominations. The 2009 Oscar Nominees were announced today.
