How can Oscar-nominated films contribute to family dialogue?

The experience of watching movies together, such as those at the Oscars 2023, can give good family moments during a rest period

The school holidays are coming to an end. This time of year marks the preparation for back to school and also celebrates another moment of world cinema, the Oscar nomination. The award that sanctions the best films of the year also includes the Best Animation category, and these feature films can offer beautiful moments of dialogue and exchange between families. The awards ceremony will take place on March 12.

Oscar-winning films can contribute to family dialogue

to the psychologist Bianca Ferreira Laranjeirasby Marista Escola Social Ecológica, the art of watching a film is an opening so that topics can be discussed at home.

“When they see cartoon characters going through difficult times or feeling some sadness, the child can feel free to talk about something they have felt. This distance from the story that is shown on TV or in the cinema helps parents and caregivers ask if they have been through this or if he has seen a similar situation”reveals.

The essential thing for this dialogue to be created is that those in charge create this favorable environment. “Instead of each family member watching the cartoon on their mobile phone, why not create an environment in the living room where everyone can watch it? These memories will also contribute to the acceptance of the topics discussed,” she points out.

The indicators portray the zeitgeist

The history of humanity can also be told from the point of view of art and culture. In cinema, this has been increasingly common. “When we watch a film, we can notice the period in which it is inserted by the clothes, habits, costumes of the characters and above all by the past message”reveals the high school coordinator of the Colégio Marista Sagrado Coração de Jesus, Rosangela Dambroski dos Santos.

Among this year’s nominees, the film Pinocchioin Guillermo Del Torofavorite for the statuette, is one of them, for example. “The original and classic story of Geppetto and his puppet takes on a more modern air, talking about freedom and oppression, for example”strengthens.

To celebrate family moments, check out the list of films nominated in the animation category and where to watch:

Pinocchio by Guillermo Del Toro (Netflix)

The doll and a talking cricket are the protagonists of the story, which continues with the same original basis: in which the character’s nose grows with each lie told, but the essence of the message changes. The film teaches something about freedom, acceptance and not consenting to situations of oppression.

Puss in Boots 2: The Last Order (movie)

In Puss in Boots 2: The Last Order, Puss in Boots finds that his passion for adventure has taken a toll: due to his taste for danger and his disregard for personal safety, he has burned eight of his nine lives. With only one life left, Gato needs to call on an old partner – who is currently his rival and mortal enemy, Kitty Pata Mansa – to survive.

Red – Growing Up is a Beast (Disney+)

The protagonist of Red transforms into a giant red panda whenever she feels a strong emotion. Pixar’s animation is about adolescence and all the changes in it, being a good contribution for family members who have children close to this period.

The Sea Beast (Netflix)

The story portrays a world where sea monsters inhabit the oceans and the task of eliminating them is a heroic one. It is in this reality that the paths of Maisie, an orphan full of energy who lost both parents to a sea creature, and Jacob, a young and talented sailor, meet to experience adventures.

Marcel the Shell With Shoes On (“Marcel, the shell of shoes”, in free translation) – (Cinema)

Marcel is an inch-tall shell who wears sneakers and lives with his grandmother Connie and her pet Alan. Once part of a large community of seashells, they now live alone as the sole survivors of a mysterious tragedy. The life of this small family changes when a documentary about them is released and there is a chance to find the lost family.
