According to the Oscar winner, the proposals of recent years are characterized by trying to please the public and putting fame before talent.

The details that caught his attention, according to his testimony, were: “Carnahan’s direction, the splendid cast, the aesthetics of the film, but the key element of this magnificent film is the sensational script by Carnahan and Michael McGrale,” accurate.
