Movie #1323 ........................."Blind Vaysha"

Movie #1323 "Blind Vaysha" is an unusual looking animated film amongst the other nominated ones -- it looks hand drawn all the way through.  And the topic of the her eye seeing the past and the other the future must have been said at least 5 times ---- I felt, I got it --- I thought it was a bit preachy.   But the main idea is a good one and symbolically it shows how you can't be one extreme or the other. I just didn't like the style all that much, and I thought it was too much of one note.  But I'd give it  3, for being really different!  But I don't think it's going to win the Academy Award.
