How'd it win anything?


My gods, I want those 28 minutes of my life back!

This so-called movie is a therapist's dream client. The guy who wrote this has issues, massive, major issues. It was worse than any Woody Allen movie I've ever seen.

So his dad's a jerk. Well, grow up. You aren't your dad. Get over it.

How the hell did this thing win an Oscar? It was pure, utter crap.

I saw this tonight at a screening of the five nominated movies, and I cannot possibly fathom how any of the other four lost to THIS.

Avoid at all costs.

Well it wasn't oscar worthy, but it didn't face much competition that year. I will say that it was quite good.

Agreed! weak, weak, weak!

Nothing more than an amateur piece of crap, incomparable to any other short animation in this level, although I never expect much from an Academy Award winner, specially in animation category: Simple and old techniques, horrbile storyboard, stupid story-telling, etc. Comparing to short animations from European countries, this one is a joke!

Meh.

The animation is bad, the story is non-existent, the creator has father issues - oo, it uses conversations and stream-of-consciousness dialogue, how UNIQUE!! Fritz the Cat used it, to ill effect (except to the stoners who think it is the greatest ever). Creature Comforts used the idea as well.
