WEEK 12: A FILM THAT HAS WON AN ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST PICTURE
Review: Aurora and
her daughter Emma are all by themselves after their husband/ father passes
away. Emma is about to get married to Flap, a man Aurora finds not to be right
for her. Flap also seems to hate Aurora. While Emma marries him, seeing that he
is boorish and unfaithful, Aurora tries to live a life without her daughter. Eventually
falling for her next door neighbor Garrett.
“Terms of Endearment” won 5
Academy Awards in 1984. Shirley MacLaine won for her role as Aurora and Jack
Nicholson for his portrayal of Garrett. But it also took home the Best Picture
Award, which I really don’t understand. Unpopular opinion, but I did not like
this movie and I don’t believe it’s really that good. The fact that it has
drama in it and I did not care about a single character, says enough. This is
one of those Oscar-winning movies that I just can’t get behind.
