SUBLIME CINEMA #673 - THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

Criminally difficult to find a good transfer of this film - Criterion has ignored It, and it's unusual for a movie that once took home eight Oscars to have been so forgotten. But this is a profound, understated masterpiece, with some incredible cinematography by Citizen Kane's Gregg Toland.

Let’s talk about Harold Russell

AKA: The only person to win two Oscars for the same performance.

Russell wasn’t a professional actor. He was an US Army veteran who lost both of his hands in a training accident during WWII. After the accident he was the subject of “Diary of a Sergeant” (1945), a propaganda film about his recovery.

Director William Wyler saw the film and cast Russell as Homer Parrish in The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), a film about three veterans struggling to readjust to society after WWII. Russell starred alongside established actors Frederic March, Dana Andrews, Myrna Loy, and others.

The film went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Russell was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but The Academy did not believe he would win. In order to honor him regardless, they gave him an Honorary Oscar. Russell ended up winning Best Supporting Actor as well, and the rest was history.

The poem "Winning" from We Are Six Hundred is written from the perspective of Missy, with one of the illustrations having her showcasing a child (presumably hers) to her previous incarnations (excluding The Decayed Master).

This is a sly reference to a joke plan that Steven Moffett had alongside Russell T. Davies for the end of the former's rein as showrunner.

Who knows who the father would have been, my bet's the former prime minister, as how messed up that sounds.
