Some analysts – or lobbyists – of Hollywood who talk about the films not to be overlooked, thinking about the nominations for the Oscars, the Oscars, the brand history of honor.

It is intended.

In times where the Academy promotes inclusion and diversity, a film that is based on true events and also speaks of heroes and patriotism, well, surely several voters will move their wrist.

Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell play two of the Korean War heroes, Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner. Korea is not a war that Hollywood made a lot of movies about, e history of honor (devotion, or Devotion) focuses on the fact that Brown was a black airline pilot. And it wasn’t easy until he achieved recognition.

there are many Top Gun: nonconformist in history of honor. And not just because one of his interpreters, Glen Powell, repeats that here he is the right-thinking target, the pilot who missed the Second World War because he graduated a month after the end of the war. So in the 50s he awaits his fighting moment.

Because it has already been said: the military is mobilized for action. Enough training – they want to go to steaks.

And going back to the movie with Tom Cruise, just like in maverick Here is a squadron of pilots on a near-suicidal mission. They also take off from an aircraft carrier, so the scenes where nerves fray as to whether this or that pilot lands properly, hooks up to the tether on the deck of the aircraft carrier, or…

But if there is a buzz about the Oscar, as is the case with Top Gun: Maverick, it’s because there’s a drama here, a story that’s beyond heroism.

And the protagonist is Jonathan Majors, an actor who is perhaps not well known here in Argentina, but who has acted in The harder the fall, 5 bloodsby Spike Lee, and the series Country of Lovecraft.

Majors is a performer who stands out with his physique, but who also knows how to play the dramatic strings. The first thing he hears, off-screen, off-screen, is “You’re shit.” Who says it is Jesse Brown, and he says it to himself, in front of a mirror. How come? Because the man wrote down in a notebook all the insults that were done to him because of his racial condition, and that tried to weaken him.

The best thing about character building is that she’s a character type, but within the walls of her home, with her wife and daughter, she’s a beauty, and no matter how much they mark and observe she doesn’t drink alcohol while all the Navy they get drunk, and he drinks ginger beer or a coffee, he is a human who may or may not be wrong, but who takes risks.

This is also due to the film by JD Dillard, the director of sweatheart. and they included Joe Jonas in a stereotypical role (the handsome white soldier who gets up French-style) no, but as he too sings not aloneand, an argument about the credits…
