Klaus deserved the Animated Film of the year at Oscar 2020

Toy Story 4 getting the oscar over Klaus has got me all rattled up.
Toy Story 4 wasn’t even that great and probably the worst in the series.
Whereas Klaus was a fantastic film and showed the innovation of animation. They literally made hand-drawn 2D animation to look like 3D.
I also feel the technical achievements that Klaus did for 2D animation by an independent studio should have been appreciated by the Oscars.

Ok, I am done with my rant for today, I am happy for the Parasite and 1917, two of my favourite films of the year.

Oscar wins in 2020:
4 – Parasite
3 – 1917
2 – Joker
2 – Ford v Ferrari
2 – Once Upon a Time
1 – Learning to Skateboard
1 – Neighbor’s Window
1 – Little Women
1 – Jojo Rabbit
1 – Hair Love
1 – Bombshell
1 – Toy Story 4
1 – Marriage Story
1 – American Factory

Netflix’s Bright 2017

Will Smith’s ‘Bright’ had its European premiere on Friday 15th December 2017 at BFI Southbank, London.

It is Netflix’s highest profile movie release in 2017 starring Will Smith, Joel Edgerton and Noomi Rapace.

Last year it was the Netflix’s controversial Okja which premiered at Cannes.

‘Bright’ is quite an essential movie for Netflix, as they are hoping it will help them attract more A-list talent to their film division.

The movie has some great action sequences, the overall acting was on point, but for me, Joel Edgerton who plays the Orc partner human cop (Will Smith) stood out to me. It was truly a fantastic performance.

The world they have created, where you see humans, orcs, elf’s and other magic folks leaving side by side is very much believable.

The movie also explores the cruel world of racial and social inequality, but I am not sure if it was executed properly.
Joel Edgerton’s character Orc cop is always racially oppressed by almost everyone in the film, but he absolutely has no voice.

The film will hit Netflix on December 22.
