WHAT DOES FLAWED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Flawed

Flawed is a 2010 short animated documentary film and website by Halifax filmmaker Andrea Dorfman about body image, combining stop-motion animation and hand-painted images. Flawed was produced in Halifax by Annette Clarke for the National Film Board of Canada. According to Dorfman, the film was created to resemble a storyboard because it was based on a series of postcards that she has sent to a boyfriend while they were in a long-distance relationship. While Flawed is an autobiographical work, she also believes that it is universal because "I believe everyone has felt flawed at some point in their lives." In July 2012, the film version of Flawed received a nomination in the category New Approaches to News and Documentary Programming: Documentaries at the 33rd annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards. The film was nominated following its August 23, 2011 premiere on the PBS series POV. The film's awards also included an audience choice award at the New York City Short Film Festival. Festival selections included a premiere at the 2010 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.

10 QUOTES WITH «FLAWED»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word flawed.
1
Will Arnett
There's a lot of lying and these are people who are incredibly flawed, and not in very sort of empathetic ways, either. Some of the things they do are pretty awful and some of the things they do to each other are pretty awful.
2
Paul Auster

4
Bobby Cannavale
I like flawed characters very much. A lot of times I get asked to do parts that are kind of small but key - three-scene roles that are three kick-ass scenes. Growing up, watching as many movies as I did, I was always into character actors like that.
5
Steve Carell
Everyone is flawed and everyone makes mistakes and is culpable.
6

9
Gray Davis
So it was flawed in that it didn't require California to have a first claim on the power plants. It deregulated part of the market, but not all of the market.
