8. Marticulated (matrix)

humans captured the messenger robot, they wanted to change its position in a virtual world. Halfway through, the human was attacked by the electronic squid attracted by the messenger robot. The robot that developed feelings for the human woman through the virtual world rescued the human woman and restarted the virtual world, but the human woman rejected the robot with a frightened expression and died. The messenger robot lives alone.

The first short film with realistic special effects, the ambiguous and sexy contest between the two, and Zhu Yi's heroic jumping in the mother's body is eye-catching. I like the fourth story the most. The wonderful Japanese fights, the poignant love story, and the test points with the ending reversal are perfect. Papo in the third story is the boy who thanked Neo for saving him in the Matrix movie.
The pursuit of freedom and truth is costly. Choosing a cruel reality instead of a carefree virtual life is not common to everyone.

    Through the competition of these short films, it fully proves the excellent creativity of Japanese animation directors, which is far higher than that of the Americans. The ones made by American directors are really shit.

  • Lola 2022-03-26 09:01:08

    Turns out this was also a concoction. So many directors, no wonder the styles are so different. The type of animation is also very different. Combined with this movie watching The Matrix, it feels more comprehensive. It is mainly an introduction to the matrix world and man-machine war. Look at the second Renaissance and the enslavement of mankind. I really feel that human beings are really hopeless. too terrifying.
