    What I love about you as a UA-camr is every film and every actor is always “one of my all time favourites”. I love it soooo much. It’s just a phrase which singles out the individual experience, but is said so often that it honestly encapsulates your overall love, enthusiasm and passion for films and their creators. It makes watching your uploads and listening to you speak so worth while. Namaste 🙏

    Another great video, Brian! I love that you are spacing these Meryl Streep videos apart....smart decision! There is so much to cover in Streep's filmography/Oscar history that one long video wouldn't do the subject justice. Look forward to the next Streep installement, along with other topics you are presenting!

    This is an amazing video... both insightful and informative. I'm not a huge fan of KvK, to be honest. I thought it was a bit schmaltzy, even for it's time. All That Jazz is a lost classic, and wildly underrated, but the biggest crime that year was Apocalypse Now not winning best picture.

    I really enjoy this series about Meryl Streep you’re doing Brian. There are other actors and actresses who should be nominated just as much as she has been, but for whatever reason they aren’t. Even if some films aren’t exactly received the best, they should be acknowledged for their performances. I mean, that’s happened to Meryl at various points where the film she’s nominated for an Academy Award for isn’t exactly beloved by many, yet she’s acknowledged as her work is great as is maybe some other performers, but that could be very limited regarding the highlights. It’s also interesting to see how she was able to win her first Oscar so early in her career when it isn’t very common for someone to win the first time or two when nominated. Of course, when it comes to the films up that year, I’ve never been a big fan of Kramer vs Kramer. It’s not a bad film, but it isn’t as great as All That Jazz or Apocalypse Now, in my opinion at least. Its defiantly one of those moments where people talk more about the film or films that lost Best Picture than the film that won Best Picture. Having said that, keep up the great work and I’m glad you’re doing some other videos between the videos of this series as while I’m sure many would like seeing you go through Meryl’s Oscar nominated and winning performances all at once or in a row, others might want to see others Academy Award races as well. Keep up the great work Brian and take care!

    Dear Brian. I love your comentaries and your insights. I wish you would do a video on Joan Allen. In my opinion, no matter how good Julia Roberts was in Erin Brochovich, Joan Allen deserved a LOT of recognition for The Contender. What do you think?

      Dear Brian,
      Ellen Burstyn 's performance was truly fantastic. I would have understood If she had won the Oscar. But I mentioned Joan Allen because she carries a dignity throughout the movie, even when she is attacked, ecploited, and underestimated. Besides, the movie was one of the last films I saw where lines like "Have you no shame, Sir?" still carry a meaning of decency that seem to have disappeared these days. I hope I articulated my thoughts well enough. My future question to you will be about Gwyneth Paltrow's win over Cate Blanchett, Fernanda Montenegro, and Emilly Watson. That was an outcome I will never understand until the day I die.

    Kramer vs Kramer: Didn’t Mr. Kramer predict, as she walked out, that Mrs. Kramer wouldn’t find a good paying job? The dialog in the later court scene revealed that she was earning a good salary, after all. I think women in the audience could relate to that put down and would cheer Mrs. Kramer’s success in spite of despising the character for leaving her son all of those months.

    It's been a while since I've watched Kramer vs. Kramer, but I feel in comparison to The Deer Hunter (1978) the year before, we get a better sampling of Meryl Streep's versatility and talent as Joanna. She leaves a strong impression when she goes, she brings us back and holds our focus when she returns, and she just goes beyond the type of character that was written in her performance to make us sympathize and empathize with her. I feel that film deserved every Oscar it got.
