Writing, shooting, editing, and releasing a feature-length film is an incredibly complicated and strenuous process. There are so many moving parts that there’s no guarantee that the movie will translate to the audience or turn out the way it was envisioned. Because of this, movies can range from absolutely terrible to unbelievable works of art.

Throughout his filmmaking journey, Mani Ratnam has developed his niche in two particular crafts; Writing & Directing. Along with his keen sense of music, he has been able to bring out culture, pathos, and emotions in his characters. Mani Ratnam keeps his protagonists in dilemma i.e. the dilemma of choice.
Apart from the composition and lighting, what is the other thing that draws viewers into the frame and makes them think deeper? It’s the storytelling elements in your picture. Storytelling is one of the important aspects of photography. But do your pictures tell a story?
The cardinal rule of storytelling is- show, not tell. So, instead of using words on a page or dialogue in a film- symbolism is a tool which is used to communicate things visually. Symbolism refers to visual cues which are used to express various concepts. These symbols can take the form of animate and inanimate things.

Great movies with zero Oscar wins
1. GREAT MOVIES WITH ZERO OSCAR WINS
Source- Pinterest | Pressing Puzzles
‘And the Oscar Goes To…’ .. Most of the filmmakers dream to win an Oscar at least
once in their lifetime. The Oscars are regarded as the most famous and prestigious awards
in the entertainment industry, presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences. But in recent years, the artists and the critics have long called out the
Academy Awards for the lack of racial diversity among the nominees. Every year the
Oscars bring accusations and criticism from those who got snubbed. How could that film
not win Best Picture? how could he lose out to him? However, it was not the same last
year, when the South Korean director Bong Joon-ho’s film “Parasite” won the Oscar for
Best Picture, marking the first time an international film has won a top award. But
however, this win can’t redeem the academy’s failings over the years.
Admitting that the standards for a film to be nominated for the best picture Oscar award
is exceedingly high, there have been times when the Academy has let down the audience
with its decisions and choices- films that were nominated and were beaten by inferior
films or at times the classic films were not even nominated. For example, one of the
greatest living American directors- Martin Scorsese has been nominated for 71 Academy
Awards and most of his wins have been in the technical categories or others have been
acting awards to the lead characters. In Fact, nine Scorsese films have received Best
2. Picture nominations; only one has won- “The Departed”, seems like the Academy is not
keen on Martin Scorsese. Just like Scorsese, there are other filmmakers and movies that
haven’t got the deserved recognition at the Oscars.
So here are a few brilliant movies that deserved Oscars but had zero wins.
1) Shawshank Redemption
Directed by Frank Darabont with impeccable script and screenplay “Shawshank
Redemption” is based upon legendary Stephen King's novel and currently ranks at No. 1
on the IMDb list of the top 250 greatest films ever made. The film is about two men- Red
(Morgan Freeman, left) and Andy (Tim Robbins) who eventually become prisoner
friends, serving life sentences in prison who long to escape their bounds. The movie is
not some “prison-drama” in any sense but is about loyalty, time, patience and the
friendship that grows between the two men and the main message of the film-
maintaining hope in hopeless situations continues to resonate with the audience.
Nonetheless the movie lost out to "Forrest Gump" at the 67th annual Academy Awards.
“Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies”
(Movie Quote)
2) Taxi Driver
3. Martin Scorsese is one of the most legendary directors of all time, however his relations
with the Academy has been cold, where most of his films lose out to the other inferior
films in the best picture category. Taxi Driver is one of Scorsese’s finest works. Released
in 1976, the film is about Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) , who suffers from insomnia
and takes a job as a New York City cabbie. Growing increasingly detached from reality,
he becomes obsessed with the idea of saving the world after meeting the campaign
worker Betsy (Cybill Shepherd). The film is dark and compelling with a lot of twisted
drama. The film perfectlycaptures the spirit of the place and of the era in which it is set.
The film was named one of the 100 greatest films of all time by Time magazine. The film
ended up being nominated for several different Oscars but one category- Best Director.
Scorsese wasn’t nominated for the same and this was a huge snub as many expected it
could win. On the plus side, the film won the Palme d’Or at the 1976 Cannes Film
Festival and many other notable awards and remains one of the most acclaimed
masterpieces in the history of cinema.
“You Talkin’ To Me?”
(One of the iconic dialogues from the movie)
3. Get Out
4. Despite the fact that the movie was nominated in 4 categories at the 2018 Oscars, the film
managed to win only one- Best Original Screenplay. With this movie, the Academy had
one chance to make things interesting, as “Get Out” was the closest horror genre movie to
come in years. A thought-provoking horror- thriller movie with captivating plot and is
about benevolent racism- obviously not the blatant and the scary kind. The movie is
about a young black man who goes to meet his white girlfriend’s parents. But what’s the
twist here- he can’t get out! He gets stuck in a weird white place. This Spine-chilling
flick, written and directed by Jordan Peele lost to The Shape of Water which was
disappointing and uninspiring to many.
4) 2001: A Space Odyssey
Can you believe the legendary filmmaker ‘Stanley Kubrick’ has never won an Oscar for
best director despite being nominated multiple times. Kuberick was a major perfectionist
and wanted to present something different and an immersive experience to the audience
5. with 2001: A Space Odyssey. The filmmaker had experimented with different array of
films and this movie was no other. The film remains as one of the most influential pieces
of cinema. The movie was way ahead of its time, in fact this movie paved the way for all
the science fictionmovies that came after it. But the Academy did not agree with the
same. Kuberick never managed to take home the award for Best Director. The film lost
out to Dickens-inspired "Oliver!", the musical by Carol Reed and the film only managed
to nab the Academy Award for Best Special Visual Effects.
5) Raging Bull
Yet another masterpiece by Martin Scorcese starring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci didn’t
get the deserved appreciation at the 1981 Oscars. The film was nominated for several
categories but lost to “Ordinary People” directed by Robert Redforth. The film is not only
about boxing but rage, jealousy, emotions and how the consequences scuttles his
professional growth. It is about a middleweight boxer who is violent, insecure, struggles
to express his feelings and eventually gets obsessed with the sport and controlling
everything in his life. Scorsese did an amazing job on the film and so the critics and
cinema scholars believe this to be the Oscars biggest snubs of all time!
6) Saving Private Ryan
6. Some say Saving Private Ryan was the big loser on Oscar night at the 1999 Oscars. The
film is directed by Steven Speilberg and is considered one of the best World War II epics
of all times. Steven was expected to take home the big prize of the evening but it lost out
to “Shakespeare in Love”- disappointing many! Although the film was nominated for 11
Oscars that night and won many, it did not win for the Best Picture award. The film
includes many horrific war sequences ever produced on scenes. It’s gritty, emotional and
one of the most immersing movies of all times. Did you know Spielberg directed Saving
Private Ryan as a tribute to his father, who served in the U.S. Army and Signal Corps,
and fought in Burma during World War II.
