Best Story of 2024 Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts
22 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
If you intend to see this film and haven't already seen spoilers - I would suggest not reading further if you want to get the best experience.

The film seems a simple story about a mans recollection of his life in the Southern United State and the memories he has which are closely associated with his sense memories.

But then we get the big reveal that these memories belong to a man who unintentionally murdered an entire family in a fit of youthful rage.

The animation is fine and different animators handle the different senses - but for me the strength of the film is the story.

Yes it is a condemnation of the death penalty - which is ok with me - the legal system has biases (gender, racial, social, etc.) - and that alone should bring into question the use of the death penalty.
