Hello everyone! Elsie here with a recap of the some the best, almost there, and worst looks on the red carpet of the 2014 Golden Globe Awards. Let’s begin!
It’s so wonderful when you can go to the theater and engage in a transformative experience that gives you a good time. The Wolf of Wall Street, the racously funny new film from Martin Scorsese, might be the most fun you’ll have in a theater this year. More than just a glossy look at a debaucherous life, this film digs deep into American greed, the financial crisis and morality. In short, it’s easily one of the best films of the year.
The Oscar race is certainly in for a jolt now. With the arrival of The Wolf of Wall Street, we could be in for an even more exciting awards season as things begin heating up. There’s not a lot of movement in the predictions but some heavy observations that could be made. Let’s dig in!
Full disclosure before I start this review, I have never much liked The Great Gatsby in any form. The previous movie versions are dreadful and the book, while thematically fantastic never leaps off the page given the character’s unlikability and voice over type narration. However, I tried to purge my mind of these feelings when I sat down for my screening. That wouldn’t be hard as the movie’s marketing was so good and the visuals so lush, I found myself anticipating the film far more than I thought I would be. And while Baz Luhrman’s glamorous remake of The Great Gatsby manages to make love to your eyes balls with it’s period costumes and dazzling production design it is unfortunately it’s the cinematic equivalent of blue balls, leaving you disappointed and unfulfilled.
