Sonny's Advantage
The scene design is very exciting, and the reversal at the end is quite surprising. After watching the ending, I went back to the aftertaste, and found that the details were full of hints, indicating that the director still designed it very carefully. Sonny's monster shape is full of sexual hints, a little alien flavor. But the whole story setting is too dark, I don't like it very much.
three robots
Very interesting piece. If it unfolds, it has the potential to become a novel. The setting of the cat is somewhat playful, which dilutes the philosophical charm of the work, but perhaps the director did not intend to make a work with a philosophical charm.
witness
The story is very interesting. A closed-loop infinite loop. More exciting than the story is the picture, this style is really cool. In the past, I often saw the innovation and exploration of Japanese manga/animation directors in terms of style. I have always felt that American animation does not have much experimental spirit in its existential style. This time the style is very innovative and shocking.
mobile armor
This is a story of the American West. But it is such a simple and rough style, and the direct narrative rhythm, which makes people have a simple and sincere aesthetic pleasure. This is a story I like very much. Without it, it is a "routine" story and character setting, which makes people pay attention to the "cool" plot and pictures. The director does not hide it, and the film reveals that the western United States is moving forward. fighting spirit.
soul Eater
The character setting is also masked. The atmosphere is ok, and there is a reversal at the end, but it is also one of the "Hollywood"-style discussions. So-so, not enough depth, not enough style.
When Yogurt Ruled the World
interesting. Similar to "Three Robots", it is a sketch that can be seen.
beyond the crack
About halfway through the story, you can probably guess. But the ending scene is still shocking. It has to be said that the picture of the whole story is too delicate and too real. It is a work with a high degree of completion, similar to the style of a blockbuster, but without much breakthrough in philosophical meaning and aesthetic style. It's still pretty good as a commercial (provided, of course, that you don't dislike the final scene).
good luck
very nice. It seems that the Chinese should have no feelings. Due to the foundation of Liu Yukun's novel, there is no problem in the storytelling, and the picture style also incorporates some oriental elements. It also more or less reflects the erosion of Western civilization to Eastern civilization and Westerners to Easterners.
Landfill
It's a bit interesting, but this story, as well as the characters and scene modeling in it... Well, the director has some bad taste in aesthetics.
shapeshifter
Not much to say. For the Chinese, it is just a story, and Americans who have experienced the war in Afghanistan may have more emotions.
helper
very exciting. It embodies the cruelty of the sky and the great wisdom and tenacity of women. I think the director was inspired by gravity. Great women guide us forward.
ancient fish recovery
It's a bit interesting, of course, if you deliberately dig it, you can also dig out the deep meaning. But I still think it's a rather silly story. It seems to be an absurd dream of the director. It doesn't need to give any deep meaning, just look at it.
Xinyun Thirteen
Interesting story. Here again I feel the power of American culture. Under the long-term and continuous output of American films, we watch short animations in this style without any barriers, the background of the story does not need to be described in detail, and the character setting does not need to be described in detail. These are all in the United States. It has long been established in the Hollywood film system. There is no need to explain the world view, just focus on telling the story well.
Zima's work
Not much to say about this, in terms of philosophical meaning and aesthetic style, it is the peak of the entire series.
blind spot
There might be an Easter egg at the end. The highlight seems to be the same.
Ice Age
Very interesting. Although there is a suspicion that the theme is the first, it weakens the literary character of the story. But this way of telling stories is still very innovative.
different history
Essays. Westerners are politically correct and can only use Hitler to spoof it. This is very boring.
secret war
The atmosphere is well created. The roughness of the fighting nation and the red aesthetics of the Soviet Union are all vividly conveyed. At this point, we still have to admire the director's skill, and what to shoot like.
