"grandes vencedores do maior prêmio do Cinema Mundial (em maior lê-se: mais badalado, mais comentado, mas nunca o mais certo, que realmente premia os melhores ou que seja o mais criterioso.)"
Meus queridos leitores fiéis, lembram-se deste trecho que escrevi no post anterior, sobre o Oscar? Pois é, pois é, pois é - como diria nossa querida Chiquinha - eu estava certa mais uma vez sobre a famosa cerimônia e nem mencionei o porquê. Afinal, com febre, cansanda e com sono, poucas pessoas conseguem escrever um post, quanto mais lembrar de todos os detalhes a serem escritos.
No entanto, mesmo que mais atrasada do que anteriormente, eu TENHO que comentar o fato de 'Down to earth', do filme 'WALL-E' não ganhar o prêmio de melhor canção original. O quê? Como assim? Aquela música linda, com uma letra mais linda ainda e que se encaixa perfeitamente na trama, perdeu pra um bando de tambores??? Não, não é preconceito. Não tenho nada contra a Índia (apesar da novela das oito me dar nos nervos), só preciso expressar minha surpresa com esse fato incrível. A música em questão, que foi escrita por Peter Gabriel, tem uma letra que nos deixa maravilhados. Agora, parece que aqueles críticos doidos acharam que um bando de tambores sem letra é melhor do que poesia.
Tá, tudo bem...Isso era mais que esperado. A Academia AMOU 'Quem quer ser um milionário?'. A Academia era capaz de dar tudo o que fosse para esse filme. Mas, como eu já disse anteriormente, esse prêmio nem sempre pode ser considerado como 'acima de qualquer dúvida'. Me desculpem os fãs, mas 'Rocky' já ganhou o Oscar de melhor filme. 'O senhor dos anéis' também... Enfim, eu nunca considerei muito só o fato do filme ter ganho o Oscar mesmo. Ao contrário do que metade da população pensa, eu achei que 'Central do Brasil' merecia muito mais o Oscar que 'A vida é bela' e a Fernanda Montenegro perder pra Gynneth Paltrow - sei lá como escreve o nome dela - foi um absurdo...
Bom, mas só para constar, deixarei aqui a linda letra de 'Down do earth' e o link de um vídeo de YouTube com cenas do filmes, para quem quiser conferir e dar sua opinião bem embasada. Aproveitem!
- Down to earth (Peter Gabriel)
Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well come on down

Well come on down
All these rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So come on down

When you're high in the sky
So come on down
Come on down
We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
To hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
(Come) send the seeds out in (the deep?)
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We've got rivers down below
We're coming down to the ground
To hear the birds sing in the trees

Did you think you'd escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
you're always afraid of the change

You've got a lot on your chest
Well you can come as my guest
So come on down

So come on down
Come on down
We're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
We learned to climb up a tree
then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland
and set sail for the sky
