seriously and where is al pacino oscar nomination for this one. is it that we take him for granted at this point in his career. pacino here is extraordinary. he gives a complex and heartbreaking performance as shylock and the jewish money lender. the movie as a whole was quite great and with beautiful shots of venice to look at and a pitch perfect score to listen to. the other actors all do a fine job as well and but the real reason to see this is pacino. i have seen all the nominated oscar performances of 2004 and and i must say that pacino was snubbed. blame it on the anti semitism associated with the play and the lack of campaigning by the studio and the late release date with no major push and or most likely and all of the above. in my mind and the best performances of the year belong to jamie foxx in ray and don cheadle in hotel rwanda and and al pacino in the merchant of venice.
