Written before - actual three stars, one star for lowering the rating.
Sorry, "deserving of it"? This is the Oscars, not the NBA's best of the year. If you say that this is art, it is sentimental and ignore its production, then there will be a lot of sentimentality, and it will not be the turn of this film. If you want to feel good about yourself, why not watch the clips of Kobe's best moments? The same tears welled up. You may retort "But I am indeed touched." It is not fake that you are touched, but it is not because of the animation, just because of Kobe. Would you watch the same content, the same technique, and replace it with an athlete you don't like? Can there be such a touch? The Animation Awards exist only to appraise and encourage animation, nothing else. Even if you are touched and you are moved to death, you must distinguish whether it is because the animation itself moved you or something other than the animation. I still think the patriotic feelings of Wolf Warrior 2 make my blood boil. Its box office is enough to prove its excellent feelings. But do you think it should be awarded the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? Seriously, I don't watch basketball. This film is not to say how bad it is. As an animated short, there is no problem with passing the grade or above. Even if I have no interest in basketball, I can get the point that the director wants to express, but as an animation lover, I have no problem at all. Touch, this is an old-fashioned story that can't be more old-fashioned. There is nothing new in terms of technique or narrative. If this can get a statuette, Oscar also owes the king Pele a statuette? Come to "Dear Football" without difficulty. Think about how unfair this is to other animated shorts before you tout it as worthy of its name. Wouldn't the producers of purer, better animation not work hard? Summary 1. The animation awards are established to encourage excellent animation rather than other political, emotional and other factors. Oscar forgot this, and you also forgot this under the threat of feelings. 2. Feelings do not have universal significance Just like most non-basketball fans will not have too much feeling about Kobe's retirement, not Chinese will not feel how good Wolf Warriors 2 is. The scope of sentimental sensationalism is mainly its target object, nothing more. 3. Whether the animation itself touches people's hearts and whether the emotions on which the animations are based touch people's hearts are two different things. Evaluating whether animation is excellent in the universal sense depends on the production of animation itself rather than the so-called feelings. 4. The Academy Award for Animated Short Film is an insult to the history of animation, sorry.
