One is not missing. United States President Donald Trump criticized Thursday the awarding of the Oscar 2020 for best film to Parasite , a South Korean film.

At a campaign rally for his re-election in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Trump asked the crowd if they had seen "how bad the Oscar ceremony was this year?" And to continue: "We have enough problems with South Korea, with trade. And above all, they give them the title of best film of the year? "

"Can we have " Gone with the Wind "again? "

A mix of thriller, family comedy and satire on social inequality, Parasite , by South Korean director Bong Joon-ho, is the first feature film in a language other than English to win Hollywood's flagship award. The President suggested that he had not seen the film: "Was it good?" I do not know. North American film distributor Neon responded to the president's comments on Twitter. According to him, the skepticism of Donald Trump towards this subtitled film is "understandable [since] he can not read".

Donald Trump, whose presidency is built on the nationalist slogan "America First", went on to express his preference for the great classics of Hollywood's golden age: "Give Gone with the wind . Can we have Gone with the Wind again , please? Or Boulevard du twilight ? ".

The president also launched a spade against Brad Pitt, better actor in a supporting role, which he qualified as “small pretentious”. The actor used his thank-you speech to support the process of removing Donald Trump, who was finally acquitted by the Senate in early February.
