yes I realize it can be disliked for cinematic reasons -- but it is being lambasted in some sectors for idiotic conservative political reasons.Granted this is the third time since 1990 I have agreed with the best picture winner -- I agree in part but I felt as i did with Life is Beautiful that this film walks a fine line of falling into Maudlin cliche but doesn't slip -- you feel it did -- fine by me.
I am more lenient on shmaltz in film though because film is to me not always supposed to reflect life. My theater background however projects this view onto film otherwise film would just pale so completely in comparison.
