Investigative report teams for the man and the environment quest. 2016’s Oscars

Investigative report teams for the man and the environment quest. 2016’s Oscars

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio won the 2016 Oscars Academy Award for Best Actor in the Motion Picture The Revenant, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, finally ending his acceptance speech by stressing a statement on the man’s relationship with the environment that its endangered by the weather change threatening the species survival. He made a similar call to action when his role in The Revenant won the GOLDEN GLOBE for best actor, honoring Native Americans and the need to protect indigenous lands from corporate interests and exploitation," DiCaprio said. "It is time that we heard your voice and protected this planet for future generations." A reason for much rhetoric and poor action on these essential matters asking for urgent real support for the preservation of LIFE and ethical behavior might account for the absence of committed press research teams reporting on such neglected areas, as SPOTLIGHT -the twofold Oscar winner for Best Picture at the 2016 Oscars with Michael Sugar, Steve Golin, Nicole Rocklin and Blye Pagon Faust, Producers and Best script, that was written by Josh Singer & Tom McCarthy-, does with the responsibility of the Catholic church institution with pedophilia. Quoting the editor’s advice to the Spotlight team:  -“We’ll get into the same cat fight you got into on Porter, which made a lot of noise but changed things not one bit. We need to focus on the institution not the individual priests. Practice and policy. Show me the Church manipulated the system so that these guys wouldn’t have to face charges. Show me they put those same priests back into parishes, time and time again. Show me this was systemic, that it came from the top down. Beat. Pretty fucking clear. BEN -Sounds like we’re going after Law? MARTY -We’re going after the system”-. The kind of investigative work shown by this film would need to analyze the method of problem questioning and solving that is systematically employed as well the problem-focus attitude confronting with permanent disqualification of the facts and testimonies involved. This certainly would surpass the boundaries of the ART & the ENVIRONMENT but an important matter for the assessment of its objectives. The Oscar presentation this year was said to follow the sequence of film production starting from the writing of its script up to the final production of a movie. Consequently with such step process SPOTLIGHT gives testimony of both, receiving awards both for its script and film production. Following this principle it is possible to argue that the literary narrative matrix is the essential foundation of a film, subtending all other visual and sound narratives forming the very essence of the cinema story. No matter the mastery of actors, directors and different artistic and technical narrators and narratives –even if a single object stays still over all the movie- its narrative prevails as a story asking to be read as a story, not just to be viewed as a static picture or to be heard as a symphony.  The quarrel about the contemporary art [Marc Jimenez, Gallimard, 2005] expresses the “insufficiencies and limitations of a cultural system based mostly on the institutional and economic management of the artistic creation”, renouncing to the aesthetic argumentation and critical judgment. The Oscar contest keeps bringing fresh air to such closures made of experts and institutions, opening to the meeting of diverse views and publics.
