I would actually go as far to say that John G. Avildsen winning Best Director is the worst Best Director win of all time, as well. Horrible win....Anthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-57558276912006164552011-03-23T04:15:12.984+01:002011-03-23T04:15:12.984+01:00I like this movie very much,but its very modest in...I like this movie very much,but its very modest in every department and i would've never considered it for Oscars,especially in a such revolutionary year like 1976.(According to American film institute this is 57th greatest movie of all time.Sophie's choice is 91st.God help us!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-60279261252141792022011-03-22T19:04:23.157+01:002011-03-22T19:04:23.157+01:00I like this movie, it's lovely.

I thought the characters besides her were believable enough, and I thought the end boxing scenes were quite rousing. <br /><br />Overall I do think it is fine, and I frankly think the film would have less haters if it did not win Best Picture, but I think it would probably have basically the same amount of lovers.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-6413015500617403972011-03-22T14:30:00.586+01:002011-03-22T14:30:00.586+01:00I think it has some good aspects, but as a whole, ...I think it has some good aspects, but as a whole, I don't care too much for it.<br />BTW, welcome!Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291268052797806635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-83940236302842913542011-03-22T14:21:04.703+01:002011-03-22T14:21:04.703+01:00I really like this film and I think it is great, b...I really like this film and I think it is great, but I also think it's not really polished in terms of the direction, screenplay, etc. The actors were okay.
