I Expected A Lot More Considering It Won The Oscar
10 March 2014
An interesting concept of mixing animation with political satire , so interesting in fact that it won an Oscar as best animated short and has come in for a lot of praise on this page . It's good but perhaps not as good as many people are claiming . The problem I had the novelty of having a cityscape composed of American corporate logos is a good one but beyond that there's absolutely no other reason for it to exist and the film doesn't seem to know what to do with the concept except to let the audience shout out " Hey I know that reference " It is of course a French animated short and it was the French themselves who invented post modernist cinematic culture so you're able to pick it the references that the two cops are channeling a certain sequence from PULP FICTION and that the crazy villain is based on Andy Robinson's Scorpio from DIRTY HARRY . There might also be a comment there about product placement but if it's the fact that everything has corporate logo then it's far too overdone to be effective satire . Perhaps one could also have wished to have seen it in the original tongue as it might have missed something in translation
