À propos de cet audio
The Worthy Boys are lying on the couch and confronting our past traumas, because Ordinary People won Best Picture at the 53rd Academy Awards!
Robert Redford’s directorial debut stunned Hollywood by beating out heavyweights like Raging Bull and The Elephant Man. But maybe it was the right call. Ordinary People didn’t shout—it listened. It told the story of a family drowning in grief, trying—and failing—to connect.
With devastating performances, restrained direction, and emotional honesty, the film resonated with audiences and critics alike. It went on to win four Oscars: Best Picture for producer Ronald L. Schwary, Best Director for Robert Redford, Best Supporting Actor for Timothy Hutton, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Alvin Sargent.
Too quiet for some. Just right for others. What do you think—did Ordinary People deserve the crown?
