Olympian1010 7,973 Posted February 2, 2020 #771 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Holy fuck “Brotherhood” is good. I feel bad that it was offered for free. I should have to pay like $10 for that short film. Way to put Tunisia on the film map! Spoiler Of course, it’s a rather interesting look at that dilemma. Many ISIS fighters didn’t believe what they were doing was wrong. It’s a gripping story though, and one told absolutely brilliantly. Sound and cinematography is worth noting for such quality in a short film. Acting is rather good, which can sometimes be a killer in these shorts. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Oh, that was a rough one. The story isn’t “original” per say, and the plot if rather easy to guess, but it’s done so well for a short film. Both those easily score 9/10 or 10/10. I’m really impressed with the category this year, and I still have two films left to watch. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,973 Posted February 2, 2020 #773 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Jeez, this category. Great selection this year. “A, Sister” fantastic short film out of France. I’d say 8/10 or 9/10 on this one, but I’d still be okay with it winning Spoiler A lot of people often forget the burden placed on those who take emergency services calls. I do wish the plot had thickened a bit here, but it’s great to see this portrayed in film. Hopefully getting all this Oscars attention will help educate women so they know what to do in that situation. Acting was satisfactory, filming was satisfactory, but once again the quality was fantastic for a short film. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,973 Posted February 2, 2020 #774 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Unfortunately, the last nomination, Saria, is not available online currently. Too bad, it sounds interesting. In a year that lacks diversity amongst the bigger films, this category is a breath of fresh air. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I guess I'll have a hard time not laughing at people there. It was the only feasible place for me to work in Rio now, though, at least for the time being.

While there are superhero elements, there is much more to the show. It makes statements on race, police brutality, questions if good guys are good, has awesome music, awesome action, and it’s arguably the best written show of all-time. “Sport has the power to change the world.
