The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)

My Top 10 Favourite Movies of 2020 (10 movies items)

"Aaron Sorkin's second film as a director is based on the real-life trial of a group of Vietnam War protesters charged with conspiracy to cross state lines and incite a riot. It's a legal drama, which Sorkin is best at, but I think its jumbled narrative prevents it from having the impact it could have had. However, it does successfully convey how much public scrutiny the trial was under and the frustration of dealing with a clearly incompetent and bigoted judge. So this is basically a repeat of m"

"First viewing - Aug. 15th I've known for a while now some of the details of the '68 Chicago riot during the Democratic National Convention, thanks to Hunter S. Thompson's retelling of his own experience there. Therefore it was rewarding to see this film dive deeper into the events that transpired and the court case that followed, and I suspect that more of the details here are accurate than not. The cast impresses all around, and it's very well-written (which shouldn't be too surprising given A"

"And the Nominees are... *The Father *Judas and the Black Messiah *Mank *Minari *Nomadland *Promising Young Woman *Sound of Metal *The Trial of the Chicago 7 And the Oscar goes to... It's probably going to be Nomadland. It's won all of the precursors, sans SAG, and, most importantly, there's no one spoiler. This is what shivved presumed frontrunners Roma and 1917. While the former was a bit shakier (it lost PGA and wasn't nominated at SAG), Green Book was the clear competition. Sam Mendes's w"

" Notes: I wish had a better knowledge of the historical background and of all the protagonists involved before watching this movie. Indeed, during the first 15 mins, there was so much information to digest, so many names to remember, I have to admit that I did struggle to get a good grip on the damned thing. Fortunately, as soon as the trial began, it became much more straightforward. In fact, it was probably one of the most incredible but also ridiculous trials I have ever seen. In my opinion,"

"March 16th Directed by: Aaron Sorkin I'm asking way too much of The Oscars at this point, but if we could have one year without a "based on true events" movie... I mean the fact there are no direct biopics this year is a miracle but it's tiring. I'm conflicted because I enjoy learning things, and I learned a whole lot from this movie, this sort of film has it's place but I don't think that place is amongst what's considered the best of the year. Now to talk about this movie specifically, it "

"1.Safest in this category. #1-#5 are locks, each scoring both DGA and PGA. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.After the top five, I'd say Ma Rainey is likely the safest bet. I wouldn't say it's got a lot of passion behind it, but it's shown up everywhere it needs to (PGA, SAG, WGA). Plus, having the likely Best Actor winner is always a positive (only five times in the past 30 years has the Best Actor winner not come from a BP nominee, and not since 2009). 7.Another PGA/SAG/WGA combo (it made the firs-timer's "
