I’m not saying it’s a bad film. But it’s the story of a spoiled upper middle class girl who throws a fit because she doesn’t want to move to San Francisco. Which, who could blame her? But still, it’s nothing groundbreaking.

Meanwhile, out of nowhere, Brazil produces this beautiful look at the life of a little boy growing up in a third world country. Doing so through his innocent eyes in a touching and brilliant manner.

It’s no contest. But the Academy went with the same old. At least Boy got nominated.
